I cannot believe that the Pokopia psyop is working

The way Pokopia’s soundtrack naturally incorporates familiar jingles from the games has me crying at 9:44 am

Pokemon Pokopia is a psyop to make us think this nasty little wood boy is a functional member of society and shouldn’t be put in prison sight unseen

Everything I learn about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie feels like it's against my will, despite being interested in seeing it

I know it’s a tall ask for websites of dwindling staff sizes

But re evaluating life service games should be done more regularly. Not even from a score perspective, but like a living timeline of the game’s history. What’s good now is probably garbage a year from now, vice versa

Do a review in progress, move the needle on your score. Work within what’s best for you and your team.

However, I think it would be silly to ignore an entire chunk of this game just because it comes out later

Vault of Glass defined Destiny’s early months and that shit was out a month after

You can write criticism of a game at any point in time! You don’t need to wait to do so

In Marathon’s case, evaluate the thing in front of you! But also evaluate the thing again when more of it is out. These things live and ebb and flow

Endgame is important to the story of how this game lives

The wrong octave off kilter version of the evolution jingle they use in Pokopia is so fucking funny

Pokopia building needs to build in realtime so I play a round of Marathon and in between rounds I play a run of Slay the Spire 2

I will not be able to play marathon until tomorrow however

If you would like to play together this weekend, I would be happy to do some runs with folks to get them in and settled

The moment when she gets scared in the hotel and has to dig around her backpack for her firearm it’s like GIRL you would be a goner

3 of my most anticipated games all launch tomorrow, and I don't know what I did to deserve the hat trick, but it's an honor to be nominated

Hunting A Witch How the developers behind Witchfire built the shooter they’ve always wanted alongside its community with Early Access.

In the latest issue of GI, I spoke to The Astronauts to learn more about Witchfire, an FPS launching later this year that, as anyone playing it in Early Access knows, is a can't-miss game.

We talked early access, being a "5D shooter," the 1.0 launch, and more: gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Put the games on PC or don’t I don’t really care. Can someone up top stop games from making people talk out of the Dualsense

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people.
