Seriously, how does this only have like 48 reviews on Steam? I'm not the first person to say it, but discoverability is so broken right now.

I feel like this game could have blown the fuck up if it had come out in like 2016. We compare it on the episode to both Hotline Miami and Celeste and I think both comparisons are warranted, this is one of the best feeling action games I've played in years.
This week on Light Gaming we check out the kick-ass Haneda Girl from @studiokobagames.bsky.social. It takes a lot to make an action platformer stick out, and this is one of the best. Then we're off to Japan, for the only tourism guide you'll ever need! For one specific area outside Tokyo at least.

(Alex) The opening of Act 3 of Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is really working for me. I get why it’s a bit polarizing, but there’s some fascinating and heartbreaking stuff in here. We might record a full spoiler segment soon.

Whoops I absolutely thought I posted these as promised. These were the images discussed on this week's Light Gaming.
I am obsessed with this road they show us endless flyover shots of in this show. Why is it four lanes? Why is it built like a double boulevard? It serves a few dozen single family homes and never has 1/10th the cars on it to justify that robust a level of traffic management.
