Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

Axiom Verge and Axiom Verge 2 are required experiences for everyone who has ever said they like Metroid or Metroidvanias.
Axiom Verge is closer to Super Metroid, and has immaculately creepy vibes. Axiom Verge 2 transcends comparison, and is a masterpiece in the genre.

And when you peed on it, the game doubled as a test to see if you were pregnant with a baby shark do-do-doodoodoo~
A forgotten curiosity of LCD gaming is Tiger STIX, super compact LCD games with unusual control mechanisms. In this one, Shark Bite, you would propel the shark by moving the yellow end forward and backward, and steer the shark up and down by twisting the other end, trying to avoid trash and eat fish

It’s been many seasons since I touched this game, but it’s such a blast. Dare I say, it’s the ONLY game I ever bought cosmetics or battle passes from and did not regret my time long after. In fact, I miss it. Sea of Thieves is kind of a masterpiece of interaction design. So deeply fun.
Sea of Thieves Season 18: Return to The Devil's Roar begins on December 11th.

Doctor Who doesn't need to be consistent. It's best to think of it as a TV roguelike. Every run is totally different. Very little hard continuity between adventures. Lead character acquires experience and unlocks new skins. Also, it's fucking shite.

If a YouTube video has "CHANGES EVERYTHING!" in the title, the creator is promoting something that's incredibly minor and probably not worth your time.

This was the most affecting board game experience of my life, and I don’t see that ever changing. Although I know each person at the table had their own unique response, Dan does an incredible job here of putting words to it.
I don't know how to introduce this one. After three titles about opium peddling, I figured the rest of SDHistCon would be breezy by comparison. I was wrong. The next day, I experienced one of the toughest board games I've ever played. Perhaps *the* toughest. spacebiff.com/2025/11/24/u...
