Of course, that’s not the most recent remake of Myst. The current one is called, er, ‘Myst’.

Sigh. Looking forward to Riven. Again.

Well this is concerning. If they’re not getting any more funding from 505 to make Control 2 and Condor then, uh, who’s funding Control 2 and Condor?

Eat the rich in Minecraft

They’ve got the look spot on, but everyone’s miscast and none of the jokes land.

I mean, Idle Champions Of The Forgotten Realms is right there already.

Depends on whether your plan is to right the ship (sensible, boring, doesn’t interest investors) or to take that money and gamble it elsewhere in hope for big returns (chaotic, potentially disastrous, shareholders love it).

It’s Rocksteady, so it’ll be higher than 40s. Heck, it’s almost impossible to get a score lower than 40 on metacritic…

Mid 60s I’m guessing, perhaps as high as 69 if reviewers are feeling generous. The kind of score which would be absolutely fine if it were a cheap and cheerful B-game made by a scrappy team of underfunded devs, but which is an absolute embarrassment when applied to a multi million dollar tentpole. The kind of score that implies ‘meh’.

How would they fucking know? The article is behind a paywall!

The game released on the 19th September, Nominated games had to be released before the 29th September. Golden Joysticks voting was from the 3rd to the 20th October, and the premium DLC that made everyone angry was confirmed on the 24th and then released on the 27th. The timing could absolutely not have fallen more perfectly for MK1.

It’s not AI-based. Articles like this are generally repeatedly republished with extremely minimal editing every six months or so to keep them ‘fresh’ for the search engine optimisation.

It’s a shoe-in for Merriam Webster’s word of the year, I reckon.

Unfortunately, Steve Ditko’s ‘Mr A.’

That’s why we praise RollerCoaster Tycoon’s dev, he wrote the entire thing in assembly.

It’s ironic that we always seem to praise RollerCoaster Tycoon specifically, as that’s one’s based on the Transport Tycoon engine, which was also by Josh Sawyer and also in x86 assembly.

My suspicion is that the game would have been delayed had the new Harebrained Schemes game not just flopped.

Ultimately the problem with Perfect Dark as a franchise is that everyone who made it great went off and formed Free Radical and made the TimeSplitters games.

Psychonauts 2.

That’s fair. It’s one of the most minimal abstract puzzle games ever made, so there’s not a lot to grab onto.

I think they published it, but don’t actually own it.

I mean, if we’re gonna namedrop completely unique indie darling difficult puzzles, then Return of the Obra Dinn also deserves a mention.
