Can some of the puzzles be tedious? You betcha. Are some of them also really cool? Also yes.

Low-key (but also high-key) if you walk away from this game thinking it is boring to play, you don't know ball when it comes to horror games, I said what I said

Seeing you connect hockey with games is my current favourite flavour of games journalism

Is it ever actually a happy Friday, or are we all just happy that it is Friday?

Out of the *many* decisions around TGA that don't make sense, the one I think can and should be fixed sooner than later is content creator of the year. Like why is this even here, fr

Not that I have a horse in TGA race, but it is interesting to me that a game that isn't technically out until tomorrow (Deadpool VR) got a nom, a game that released its last episode five days ago (Dispatch) got a nom, and ARC Raiders did not

For me at least, Bloodborne is such a perfect, fine-tuned distillation of everything FromSoft is good at. ER increases the scale, which makes it more exciting to play, but of all the Souls games, I'd say BB is the most 'important' or 'essential' to play

A recent addition to my list of 'essential' games: 1000xResist. Not as recent: Celeste, Portal, Titanfall 2, MGS2, Mario Odyssey, SotC, GTA IV, RE2, Super Metroid, Bloodborne, LoZ: BotW, and those are just what's coming to me off the top of my head

It is hilarious to me that we've seen two reviews within the last week, both with negative scores, one that was actually thoughtless in its criticism and framing and another that was genuinely thoughtful, well-explained, and plenty of game devs, pundits, etc., seemingly can't tell the difference

If this happens my bet is that the 'cross-buy' price (cause it'll definitely be a different price than the standard) will be the cost of whatever ultimate edition there is but not with the ult dlc upgrades

It absolutely is! And yes, hopefully more people will get to play it now, especially with it on new platforms

It should be taught in schools, and I'm not even joking. You were more than right about how incredible this game is

Say what you want about people telling you a work of art is 'important' to experience, but this meets that mark.

1000xResist Review - Perhaps the Best Narrative Experience In Video Games As it makes its debut on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles, check out our review of last year's narrative indie darling, 1000xResist.

This is probably the best narrative experience I've ever had in a video game. Play 1000xResist if you haven't. Thank you @sunsetvisitor.studio for this amazing game wccftech.com/review/1000x...

I reply to every social media post I see, without fail. I just do it mostly in my head, instead of writing them out. In this TED talk, I will...

BTW two things can be true:

- Game review scores skew overly positive and are homogenised by assigning the same people the same franchises/genres over and over.

- Games media still struggles with a nasty case of the edgy critic syndrome that results in dull criticism applied without empathy.

That it does, and also, yes, I unfortunately did click on the review to read the whole thing.

To outright dismiss nearly 30 years of franchise history is bold to say the least, and is an extremely narrow starting point from which to review anything. It reads like thoughtless criticism

There's value in someone entrenched in a franchise review those games. There's also value in someone completely new getting their first taste in a review. But this opener sounds like the reviewer doesn't even try to understand what could be good about these games, and continues from there.

This Toronto Blue Jays team is amazing. They are the best team in baseball, but the better team doesnโ€™t always win. Thatโ€™s just how it goes. #BlueJays
