The boulder in RE5 is thematically both the end point of Chris’ character arc as well as a representation of the player overcoming their fears and defeating the Evil in Resident Evil. It’s arguably one of the most thematically poignant moment in RE5 — yes really. 🧵1/13

Hey, this is me. I think there's more to be said about class (and interrelated whiteness) in Blue Prince, but that might be a piece for another day. It's good to start with a discussion of the shape of its story, some of its characters, and how they surface in the game.
New review up for Blue Prince, c/o @optional.bsky.social. Plenty has already been said about playing the game and working through its puzzles, but what about the story?
The Family Drama of Blue Prince — Gamers with Glasses
Although Blue Prince’s challenging structure might make players think otherwise, it’s a young adult mystery at heart. Its story is whimsical, indirect, and surprisingly sweet.
