I just discovered the Indie Web trend and suddenly I see a spark of hope for the Internet.

What are good newsletters about games? Less interested in reviews, more in critique, game studies and game design theory and practice. Halp!

So so so proud of you @awstein.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️

10h in I'm obsessed with Clair Obscur : Expedition 33! Unsurprisingly, I love the story, but more surprisingly, I also love the combat. Little design thread 🧵 on why I spent 23 hecking minutes beating this boss (yes, I need to learn how to parry) and enjoyed every second of it! #Expedition33

My friend Alan has released another cool puzzle game, you should check it out!

I am not a committed enough fan to be invited to the Nintendo Switch 2 preorder. Long gone are the times when I was a Nintendo Ambassador and I could buy a limited 3DS 😭 Nintendo, I still love you.

And the thing which still bother me the most about Switch 2 is the HORRIBLE design of the game boxes. Maybe it’s just another push towards going full digital.

Today I played a bit of the newly released Expelled! By @inkle.co and wow. It is an excellent game, full of humor, wit and great moments. It’s an excellent story about women and troubling times. Do yourself a favor, it’s so worth it. store.steampowered.com/app/2963890/...

Yes, I'm religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

Not very happy with the trend of souls like combat in metroidvania games. I think it unnecessarily raises stress and takes away from the pleasure of exploration and finding hidden places. Both Metroid and Castlevania were great at keeping a bit of challenge without being brutal.

Thinking of all the game which won’t be preserved and will just disappear thanks to Unity stunt. It’s going to be very bad for our culture.
