How is it? I loved Braid but found The Witness a little pretentious honestly, not sure if I have time to try the demo soon.
- Comment on Game Informer's Favorite Steam Next Fest Demos – Summer 2026 Edition 15 minutes ago:
I played a demo for a game called FISH which is a 2D run and gun, it’s one of the most insane things I’ve played. Highly recommended to people who love silly and surreal games.

At this point I don’t know who’s shitposting and who isn’t lol
- Comment on I want a new retro Final Fantasy 1 day ago:
Octopath Traveler 2 is basically a modern retro Final Fantasy game. Made by Square as well.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 1 day ago:
Not sure if this counts because it’s not that bad, but Final Fantasy 15.
I can’t even begin to explain how much of a complete mess this game is. The combat consists of mashing buttons and teleporting away when you’re low HP, the open world is very big and isn’t that interesting, it’s a mess of systems that don’t work together because this game had a very troubled development, and the story is borderline incomprehensible - the last third of the game felt like I was skipping cutscenes. The few dungeons included were also terrible. Oh and there are parts in the game where you literally have to wait entire minutes in a car waiting to go from point A to B.
And yet, I played through the whole thing, it was weirdly relaxing. Whenever it wasn’t trying to be a final fantasy game, it was actually pretty fun. Fishing, doing menial tasks, chocobo racing (and riding chocobos in general) were great. The game also has some of the most beautiful towns I’ve seen in gaming, and boy is that soundtrack perfect.
I enjoyed it a lot, but by all accounts I’d still call it a bad game.

I saw this one coming, sadly. Xbox announced they’re laying off people, and while I like Compulsion Games it’s predictable that they’re getting the boot.
They made 3 games in the last 13 years and none of them have been big hits.
2013: Contrast (mediocre reviews)
2018: We Happy Few (messy development, mediocre reviews)
2025: South of Midnight (decent reviews, reportedly underperformed)
- Comment on Godot engine’s key figures answer a developer’s questions about everything from console porting and user support, to AI and the engine’s future 5 days ago:
Not much new or detailed info in case you’re thinking of browsing the article as a developer, sadly. W4 games is also technically part of Godot but this interview isn’t actually asking the developers working on the engine or the Godot Foundation itself. W4 is the company porting Godot to consoles and offering professional support.
- Comment on Gears Of War: E-Day Reportedly Has A Staggering $400 Million Budget 6 days ago:
Console exclusive as in they’re not putting it on PS5/Switch 2
- Comment on Gears Of War: E-Day Reportedly Has A Staggering $400 Million Budget 1 week ago:
400 million is INSANE. Gears of War is a fairly known franchise but it’s not nearly popular enough to justify such a huge budget, especially when it’s a console exclusive. Battlefield 6 reportedly targeted a $400 million budget, but that’s battlefield. Microsoft has to be one of the worst managed companies in the world to keep running Xbox to the ground like this.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
The Oblivion remaster is great. If you can get past the terrible performance, it’s very immersive and feels like Skyrim with a smaller world and more fun quests. The DLC included was also great.
- Comment on Game Reveals kind of suck now .. 1 week ago:
We did get hilarious E3 compilations at least!
- Comment on Game Reveals kind of suck now .. 1 week ago:
Compared to what though? Game reveals have always been big CGI trailer and maybe some tease of gameplay. If anything this year was way better than the last few because they showed back-to-back trailers and not have someone talk on stage for 5 minutes after each one.

Crash also had a bunch of games, but people ignore everything that wasn’t the original trilogy. I mean, Crash 4 was at least the 10th one.

Seems like they actually listened to some feedback from the first time this was shown, it looks noticeably darker and less glowy. This looks fantastic. I really liked Bloodstained but it’s nice to have actual Castlevania back after they slept on the franchise for so long.

Gears of War is back… Halo is back… Crazy Taxi is back… Xbox is doubling down on the green… What year is this?!
- Comment on Persona 4 Revival: Pre-order Trailer 1 week ago:
It bothers me even more because they didn’t fix much in the Persona 3 remake. They had an opportunity to make Tarturus more like Persona 5 and less than a hallway simulator but… they didn’t change much from the original.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Awfully nice of them to make a new free update but wow it’s been a long time since I’ve played Blasphemous 2. It came out 3 years ago, feels a little late for an expansion.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
The whole game looks and feels more like a fantasy game in a medieval world of magic than a sci-fi shooter.
Isn’t that the point though? Doom The Dark Ages is a dark fantasy style Doom. You even get a flail and sword in this one. I liked the change of scenery as opposed to yet another set of sci-fi bases, it’s the opposite of what I’d call “milking it” because the simpler option would be to do the same thing again.
- Comment on Spyro™: A Realm Beyond | Cinematic Announce Trailer 1 week ago:
Fiiiiiiiinally. Spyro 4 has been rumored for years, it’s great to finally see it. The Reignited Trilogy was amazing and I hope this matches those older games. From that last bit of gameplay though, I hope it’s not some kind of open world thing.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I know it’s become kind of cliche to make a game inspired by Studio Ghibli, but WOW this one actually nails the aesthetic of early ‘90s Ghibli. Gorgeous art.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Yeah but they reset development not long ago so I’d be surprised if it released any time before, like, 2029.
- Comment on Soulframe: Preludes - Official Gameplay Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Oh what I’d do for a dark souls 2 remake that actually fixes its problems…
- Comment on The Wolf Among Us Season 2: Official Trailer 2 weeks ago:
It’s starting to drive me insane how many times they’ve teased this game without a proper release date. This trailer doesn’t give us much more than the one we saw last year.
- Comment on Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN | Official Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I get that sex appeal is part of Stellar Blade’s thing but I would love this so much more without the anime girl with a massive ass and the camera zooming in on it every two seconds, because the game itself looks really solid.
- Comment on STRANGER THAN HEAVEN | Tupac & Cast Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Let me get this straight.
They brought 2pac back from the dead 30 years later…
To be in a Japanese game about Yakuza gangs…?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Aw man, I was hoping the second announcement would also be a classic hand-drawn game, but Cuphead’s gameplay was good enough that I would check out a pixelated version.
- Comment on I finished Mina the Hollower 100%! (Plus short review) 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t played that yet, still waiting for it to release from early access.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Oh damn??? Looks like MMORPGs aren’t dead after all. I would have loved to see some gameplay but it’s nice knowing there’s an honest to god new mmo being made by a big studio.
