Just finished Refunct, a lovely little first-person puzzle/platformer with a gorgeous score that sounds like it’s been ripped right out of the Tetris Effect soundtrack.
It’s only about 30 minutes long, but you can often find it on Steam for less than £1

I do remember it (and a game called Papo & Yo which I always thought looked similar) but I never played it, unfortunately.
One I can recommend which is very Ueda-inspired is Rime, if you haven't played it. It has a very similar light-platforming/light-puzzling vibe as Ico and looks GORGEOUS

This is my treasured collection of Edge magazines which I’ve bought every month for over 30 years. That's 409 issues and counting, going all the way back to 1993.

With less than 24 hours until the Switch 2 Direct, I wrote a little article to celebrate the original — Nintendo’s little console that did it all.

I highly recommend Sheepy: A Short Adventure for anyone unaware of it.
A short Metroidvania-lite with gorgeous visuals, lovely music, enjoyable exploration, intense boss fights and a thrilling final act.
Best of all, it’s free on Steam 😄

Retro Studios proving yet again that great art direction can overcome any hardware limitations.

Well I really didn’t expect to wake up to this today. Can’t wait to play it when it comes out in 8-9 years.

Proving Rare could apply their quality stamp to anything, the studio's first FPS was one of the genre’s best.
GoldenEye was a remarkably complete package that combined one of the greatest single-player shooter campaigns with a stunning multiplayer mode.
How many hours did you put into this one?

A monumental achievement for the genre, Gran Turismo brought a level of authenticity to racing like never before.
Hundreds of cars (from mundane to exotic), stunning visuals, and a revolutionary physics model meant it became the best-selling PS1 game of all time.

Burnout Paradise took Criterion's incredible racing series into a seamless open-world, trading the laser-focused precision of earlier titles for a refreshing but messy sense of freedom.
The change proved hugely divisive, and split the series' audience in two.
