I remember looking at the rows of PC game boxes at the store and being very curious about Myst. But for some reason I never asked my parents for it. I guess maybe since I didn’t really have any idea what it was, it just felt like something out of reach.
I love “artsy puzzle games” now, so I feel like that would have been a pretty cool experience for me way back then!
+1 for sea of thieves.
I had a bad feeling when I saw another developer had picked it up. This sounds worse than I imagined.
Oh that’s very interesting! I will keep this in mind as something to try.
You got the answer right there, it’s cross play. When you have child in the family who wants to play Minecraft on their iPad, and a parent who would like to join in on their Mac, you just can’t do it. And that stinks.
It also feels like relatively low-hanging fruit from a development perspective.
At this price I’m so glad I decided to go for a slim instead of holding out for the pro. Absolutely no way.
I still want to see bedrock on the mac. 😔
I had to laugh when I saw the way she sprints.
I loved Control, but I’m feeling kinda meh about a TV show. If it does happen I’ll keep an open mind and check it out.
Absolutely looking forward to Control 2 however.
Agreeing with all these comments. The game started off really strong in my opinion, but it falls flat very hard after a certain point. Both from a writing perspective and in the combat variety.
The interrupts were interesting to me because I hadn’t seen a mechanic quite like that before. But I suppose it’s true that once you see an enemy charging up there is essentially just one “correct” choice to make, which limits what choices you actually have and puts you on a rail.
Sooooo many moonerangs. That was a big complaint of mine as well. The combat doesn’t really evolve much.
Hmmm maybe I should revisit this game. I got about 3/4 of the way and kinda ran out of steam on it.

I don’t know what game first came up with it, but Super Mario RPG was the first time I saw timed hits for attack and defense in a JRPG. While the mechanic isn’t exactly ubiquitous it has popped up in a handful of other games over the years and it always reminds me of that game.
I’ve played a fair amount of both but to be fair never competitively. Like for example I played tons of Warcraft 2 and 3 with friends at LAN parties. But these days I’m more likely to be drawn to a single player turn based game like XCOM, Civ, or FF Tactics style games.
Yeaaah, kinda seems like people just didn’t want a remastered Braid.
2024 game of the year candidate.
I keep thinking back to years ago when someone at work tried to tell me this guy was good and I could just tell on vibes alone to stay clear.
In retrospect yeah. I was very excited just to see a trailer at all. After sitting with it for a while I’m kinda like, that’s it? To me it looks exactly like the recent Metroid Prime remaster (which to be fair I did really like).
I wonder if the reveal of the big baddie was intended to carry more weight than it ultimately did.
Still amped for this game anyway.
I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.
