It's really charming, and one of those "could only be a game" kinda games.

My favorite game of 2023. Has only grown more relevant since launch as a game about online communities falling apart. Can’t recommend it enough.

maybe the problem with today’s youths is not that they are spending too much time online, but they are not spending enough time online in bjork forums talking about bjork

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:

Flaws aside, still think it probably has the best sound design and music in a game this year.

There was a lot of speculation about Battlefield 6's presumed "politics" when it was announced. There's a lot you can project onto it, but what are the words on the page actually About? Tried to untangle the meaning of a meaningless game. www.polygon.com/battlefield-...

Battlefield 6 is a political Rorschach test

Battlefield 6 can have good or bad politics, depending on how you choose to read it

Honestly surprised it hasn't been tapped for a mobile game by now considering how much Pokemon Company loves churning those out. You'd think they'd make the thing their Fire Emblem Heroes.

i wrote about the hot pokemon spinoff everyone is talking about today: 2012's pokemon conquest for the nintendo ds www.polygon.com/pokemon-conq...

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is cool, but have you played Pokémon's weirdest spinoff lately?

Do you have what it takes to defeat Oda Nobunaga's Zekrom?

I’ve done it. I’ve trained my Facebook algorithm to stop pushing me Clair Obscur fan pages that are constantly talking about how they have been gaming since the 80s and have never experienced a more amazing game, and to start pushing me Pats fan pages where people share hyperspecific stats.
