I was playing through Doom Eternal (on my PC close to the TV) while my missus was binging all of iZombie. So I have this weird connection between you and Doom in my jumbled memory...

Just a couple of hours into Doom The Dark Ages but so far I like this flavour more than Eternal. I love how all modern Doom games have interpreted different aspects of the originals differently and taken different, all good and legit, directions. Still picking up OG Dooms a few times a year 😊

Going back to basics, built a Quake ma… room! Haven’t done brushes in a looong time. And modern tools!

Really excited our game The Midnight Walk was part of State of Play again, this time with a gameplay teaser! I've been playing it quite a bit and it's shaping up mighty fine. Can't wait for the world to get their hands on this. Love the cozy horror vibe @moonhood.bsky.social

I also have to mention that Troy Baker was so convincing that I completely forgot it’s not Harrison Ford voicing!

It's an adventure game in a true sense, apart from an on-rails part I fired a total of six shots in the entire game (yes, I counted). There is platforming in the game, but it’s far from anything like Tomb Raider/Uncharted and really it’s own thing.

They also strike a great balance between driving the narrative forward and in a very natural way open up for side quests, especially for someone like me that usually don’t favor open games. At least the Fieldwork missions felt very rewarding and meaningful for the main story.

Initially I was afraid that the team’s distinct tone, dark humor and storytelling would be toned down too much by the Indy IP, but it seems Lucasfilm let them do their thing. Voss is probably a bit over the top for Indy, but yet he fits in surprisingly well!

First off, I’m happily surprised so many names are still there from the original Starbreeze team, that’s an achievement in itself. Few teams get the opportunity to hone their craft and style together for so long and it’s been perfected since the Riddick days.

I’ve played a lot of really great games this year, the output of quality games has been astounding. I don’t usually gush like this but last night I finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and I want to say a few words about it.

20 or so 90-rated games this year... must be some sort of record? There was a time when 90+ was a rare thing. Are we seeing increased inflation in scores or is it a post-covid thing?

In a pitch the other day:
- This game is inspired by *bleep*. It's really old so I'm not sure you know it. It was way before my time.
- I worked on it.

It's finally out in its full glory, including modding! This is *the* co-op music rythm game in VR. First time I played it I was struck by the brilliant solution for the guitar on VR controllers and the arenas are great to boot!

Found this gem in town! Perfect to scratch that itch before the new port comes to current platforms. Haven’t played the arcade version for ages. It was even on free play! I guess no one else is playing it… #MvC2 #MarvelvsCapcom

I never actually paid for original Doom back in the day, everyone pirated it. But I’ve made up for it many times over with all the different versions/releases of it on all the different platforms by now…
