Well that’s just straight up Renaissance 🤌

Update: A bee just flew into the car. So much for “it’s more scared of you” mister Julian.

💯 It’s insane that in one generation we went from baked lighting and a couple of runtime spotlights (if you’re lucky) to real time GI with essentially unlimited shadow casting light sources.

But if I ever have to babysit a bake until 4am again I will step into traffic.

The TV series wasn’t the worst thing ever created either.

The last true masterpiece in the genre before Hollow Knight was arguably Ori, and it’s those inspirations that give us games like Hollow Knight. I think ultimately, while there are failures, inspiration fuels magic.

I’m not sure that’s a bad thing? Team Cherry captured lightning in a bottle, and that’s not something you can manufacture, but that doesn’t invalidate the existence of good games that don’t reach that pinnacle. People are inspired by all kinds of things. A masterpiece is a good place to start.

Tbf metroidvanias are on a pretty consistent release schedule. It’s my fav genre and I think there’s been at least one solid title every year-ish for a while. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was fantastically good, but unfortunately undersold.

Still refreshing steam / PSN to see which is the first to unfuck their system so we can buy it 💀

Isometric action puzzle games will always have an audience, and it’s a starved genre. This looks incredible, can’t wait to get my hands on it!

🤌

Ditto! I replay it every couple of years. But I rarely meet people who know it exists :(

This is 🔥🔥🔥

Memories of LandStalker, the most underrated game of the 16bit era.

I’m kidding, he’s the best thing that’s ever existed.

The biohazard part is true tho.

Sweet baby cheeses.

I think this qualifies as a biohazard.

Subscription fee for 3 years and then that will be ad supported too.

Everything is shit.
