I’ve probably played (and finished!) worse games, but horizon zero dawn is the game that made me stop feeling compelled to finish games I’m not enjoying. Game sucks. Really good sequel tho.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Getting off work? Finally have time to read a 10,000-word story? Or perhaps you live overseas... 👀

Design Room @designroom.bsky.social · 1d

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

While one of Battlefield 6's calling cards is environmental destruction, it's hard not to connect its toppled buildings to current events. @platanoranger.bsky.social on Battlefield 6:

A bill that I budgeted for is unexpectedly going to be a couple of hundred pounds more. Not ideal right before the most expensive time of year, so if any labels need an essay/audio commentary doing before 2025 ends please hmu 🫠🫠🫠🫠
