TV is the Lazy Man's Videogame

I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY EVERYTHING

I loved The Last Guardian! It's a very special, emotive experience. It has frustrating technical flaws (play it on a PS4 Pro in 1080p if you can, to avoid frame stuttering) but Fumito Ueda's vision shone through and it was great to see a game focus so sharply on its core theme of growing a companionship. It's sincere, powerful, and heartrending.

Bought a £3.49 game on Steam and it cost me "undefined", because JavaScript.

This is the coolest algorithm I’ve seen in a while.

Samorost 3 is a point-and-click adventure in which you discover a mysterious wind instrument that enables you to wordlessly communicate with ghost-like beings that inhabit the environments. You’ll travel to all sorts of strange planetoids, and as you manipulate bizarre contraptions and spur impromptu music jams, you’ll learn of an angry rebel who has been shunned by his peers and is causing mischief across the planetary cluster.

It is indeed! I vaguely remember that the computer game was more fun while I was wearing the snorkel.

Can us gamers stop saying the The Witness is only about puzzles please? Seriously you guys, look deeper into these things. You can see that the game is a study about all sorts of different yet cohesive, beautiful concepts if you just stop looking for a “narrative”. This is frustrating because The Witness was an incredible experience for me and a lot of players seem to be missing out on it, even though its value is right in front of them. Games don’t have to have a story in order to be deep and meaningful, and it’s widely known that interactive art doesn’t combine well with traditional storytelling anyway. There’s other stuff in there, stuff far richer than a AAA-esque story.
