Tunic is a great little game. I can’t think of any other game that captures that feeling of playing a game for the first time and slowly testing the boundaries of what you can and cannot do. Definitely one of the better love letters to the old Zelda games out there. My main issue with it was the fact that the end-game is mostly just puzzle-solving. It kind of felt like the game had changed genres on me, especially since I had seen it recommended so many times as “Zelda meets Dark Souls”.

Good riddance. Might be willing to check the game out now.

While I’m a little skeptical of EA when it comes to rereleases of classic games like this, at least these games won’t be abandonware anymore.

Honestly, the most interesting part of all of this is learning that Larian has an official Tumblr account.

Three things are certain in life: Death, Taxes, and Doom running on things you didn’t think could run Doom.

That “If” is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence. Really interested to see where SteamOS goes in the future.

While I wouldn’t underestimate Hasbro’s ability to blow everything up trying to make the line go up, I do think D&D just shambling on for another decade is likely. It’s just so entrenched among so many players. Sure, every new scandal is going to have some group swearing it off and going back to old editions or looking at different games, but the majority will just keep playing.

Doom 2016 kind of felt like it hit the sweet spot between the two. Just enough lore to be interesting, but still grounded in a simple premise. Then Doom Eternal had so much lore I actually had to check that I hadn’t missed a game where all this stuff had been introduced.

Turning Silent Hill into Loud Valley.

Good. I can maybe see the argument for a remaster that improves the graphics, but they don’t really need a ground up remake in a new engine. Not as long as they’re still playable on modern computers.
