I think stuff like this was why they added the "eras" system, where you couldn't advance to later sections of the tech tree without specific technologies, even if they weren't direct prerequisites to the tech you wanted.

I did not expect the international censorship of an anime-adjacent game to be violence-related.

Do people celebrate the horse testicles thing? The only context I ever see it mentioned is in reference to the ridiculous excess of AAA development.

Good news: leaks have all but confirmed that this will be happening.

I agree. I feel like every game of this kind lives in Journey's shadow.
