Apropos of nothing, here’s a few indie games that blew me away lately (some may get videos in the near future)
Tomb Raider already had a remake
It’s called Tomb Raider Anniversary and it was AMAZING

Probably gonna make a solo video on this in the near future (since I snuck a mini review of it into my Alan Wake 2 vid) but yeah...

39. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
A game I think seriously deserved to be played by way, way more people, I'd describe it sorta like a Survival Horror game that is *JUST* the puzzles. And they are some absolute doozies! Super unique feeling atmosphere to it too.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes on Steam
The stage is set. Imagine an old baroque manor, perhaps a hotel or a museum, somewhere in central Europe. A woman wanders in search of answers.

Against my better judgement, I'm stitching together the full album of Lumines Arise to post on my second channel
Is Enhance releasing the album in February?
Yes, but I need it now for my video

I wonder if this is one of those "better left unsaid" kinda things, considering
Also, @jeremyoduber.com made a good argument that there are no bad games, so....

wrote about Horses, which should be defended against censorship, and also is a game I think is bad :) www.wired.com/story/horses...
Horses, the Most Controversial Game of the Year, Doesn’t Live Up to the Hype
First it was banned. Then its sales blew up. But Horses fails to meet the lofty goals of its own ideas.

The Horses controversy reminds me of The Path by Tale of Tales
People are talking about ‘this weird game you gotta play’ again and that warms the heart

Pretty much why I comment on as many mutual videos I can, even if it’s just ‘great video!’
Seems rote but it does help

PRO TIP
If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot
leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason.
I hate doing it, but I've been trying to do it.

Simogo Legacy Collection launches tomorrow with full Steam Deck compatibility. We couldn’t get a Deck Verified review and we don't know what exactly qualifies to get tested by Valve, but we are guessing more interest might help.

Lumines Arise script more than halfway done
Talks about Daft Punk winning album of the year, the much lesser known sequels to Koyaanisqatsi, some really dumb jokes and references that techno club in Conker's Bad Fur Day

Always love a contrarian take, especially when it comes to storytelling
Haven’t played Dispatch myself yet, can’t confirm if I love or hate it, but I do like people asking questions
Haven’t played Dispatch myself yet, can’t confirm if I love or hate it, but I do like people asking questions
Just realized this went up yesterday. It's no secret I don't love Dispatch but what I really think doesn't work is the game's failure at making player choice as well as it's management segments compelling to the narrative.

Dispatch shows how player choice doesn't always work with telling a story
The narrative superhero game Dispatch would tell a stronger story if it didn't let players choose where it goes.
