Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

reviewed the Ghost of Yotei DLC and it rules, it’s brief but highlighted how good Atsu and her old flame Nagato are also put in A LOT more time into the run-based Most Wanted mode than i thought i would, really fun stuff esp playing as Jin again! 📰: www.ign.com/articles/gho...
Ghost of Yotei's DLC, Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted, Are Worthy Additions for the PS5 Exclusive
The Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion and the new Most Wanted run-based mode deliver more of what made Ghost of Yotei great to begin

I reviewed End of Abyss A game that so deeply misunderstands why exploration can be intoxicating in metroidvanias, how backtracking to old areas elicits elation. Instead it becomes a slog early on and never fully recovers
IGN@ign.com · 4d agoA striking atmosphere isn't enough to carry End of Abyss to greater heights; a twin-stick shooter style of horror game in a metroidvania format sounds like a winning combo, but combat and exploration lose steam quickly. Our review: https://bit.ly/46TxfNr

I loved all the little details in Control Resonant, and I especially loved sifting through the menus and discovering a hidden love story, so I wrote about it. Gift link~ www.theverge.com/games/100081...
The Verge@theverge.com · last wk.There’s a lot to read in Remedy’s Control sequel, even just in the menus. It’s worth taking the time to pore over it all. www.theverge.com/games/100081...
As a games media writer, this will probably be the biggest cover story I’ll write in my career. As a lifelong South Florida resident, this is the most Florida thing I’ve ever Florida’d.

will's review got me fired up for ace combat 8, sounds like the type of thing i NEED right now www.ign.com/articles/ace...
Zombies. The undead. You know, ghouls.@edgarallanbro.bsky.social · last wk.We didn't have enough time with the multiplayer pre-release for me to feel comfortable giving this a final score, but I have played Ace Combat 8's campaign and it is both an incredible game you can play and a pretty remarkable anti-war war story. Very pleased with how this one came out.

I did not care for the Revelation demo I played during Gamescom – too aimless, too big, too much. I did care for the Revelation demo I played during Tokyo Game Show last week – focused, tight, and intentional.

Anyway, yes, it is a reference to David Lynch whose work has been very significant to me, but I didn't pick it just because I wanted to do a shoutout, I did it because it's a reference to him very specifically and intentionally saying "trans rights are human rights" and that shit is fucking true.
I wrote a lot of this game and I suspect this is the thing that gets more attention than anything else I did for it. I'm okay with it. www.ign.com/articles/rem...

i reviewed Control Resonant! it's GREAT - i love Dylan, and Jesse's presence is felt - combat is slick but eventually dulls - world is impeccably designed - overall story is more conventional but parts within it are some of Remedy's *best* 📺: youtu.be/7YiRi1llmQo?... 📰: www.ign.com/articles/con...
