I share a lot of the same feelings about Control Resonant with @andrewrweb.bsky.social — Remedy's strengths absolutely shine here. I liked the combat more than others did but I agree it can be a slog at times with assist mode disabled. But the worldbuilding!!!

For the first few hours I was disappointed because it all felt so familiar, which is the exact opposite of what I expect out of a Remedy game. Soon enough, though, Control Resonant opened up and became something truly wild. Read our review from @andrewrweb.bsky.social:

I rolled credits on Control Resonant last night after 47 hours because I spent so much time doing side stuff and reading and lemme tell you: It was very worth it to me to spend extra time listening to the random dialogue that pops up as you pass different characters. Some of it is so deeply funny

Games criticism owes so much to Garrett Martin. Quietly one of the most influential people in the space, a guy who was happy to publish anyone that had something interesting to say. A shame AV Club is shuttering its games coverage. End of an era, long live Paste Games

knew we needed the experts on this, so please listen to the incredibly knowledgeable @shinycaseyd.bsky.social and @inkydojikko.bsky.social explain competitive Pokemon to me, a bad trainer. some fantastic insight into where the players are at, what Champions gets right, and where it can tune up.

I played the Pokémon Champions demo today at PAX and I'm feeling a lot more encouraged after some initial disappointment when previews dropped. It sacrifices some niche, granular stat control for approachability, which competitive Pokémon has desperately needed for a while.

We're about to start answering questions here!! If you're a Verge subscriber and wanna know about Pokopia, now's the time to ask. We're avoiding spoilers!

The Verge@theverge.com · 8mo ago

We've been playing Pokemon Pokopia for the last week, and it... really goes places. Got any questions ahead of launch? We're holding a subscriber-exclusive AMA today at 2PM ET, so drop questions any time and @charlespulliam.bsky.social + @inkydojikko.bsky.social will see you all this afternoon!

I've also been playing Pokopia and I am completely in love with it. It's very clever in how it puts a Pokémon spin on games like Minecraft and Viva Piñata and I agree with Charles that it's more than the sum of those parts. Stay tuned for more from us on Pokopia :)

After playing Pokopia for the past week, can confidently say that this game's going to consume people's lives (complimentary) while we're all waiting for Wind and Waves. It's a lot like Animal Crossing/Minecraft/Dragon/Quest Builders, but it's also bigger than the sum of is parts. My review:
