I know I'm pretty late to the party on finishing it, but Cairn by @thegamebakers.com is going to be in serious consideration for my Game of the Year. Absolutely superb story which could not be told in a non interactive medium with the same impact.

The top of a mountain reaches up toward the stars, covered in snow. A tiny human figure can be seen trecking across it.

Best delivery to arrive home to. The music for this game was just one of the truly incredible things about it. Once again well done for what is still my GOTY @thegamebakers.com!

A record sleeve of the soundtrack for the video game Cairn, with artwork from the game on the outer and the inner sleeve, and a bright orange marble effect record poking out.

Even if it's only a nomination, standing side by side these three incredible games is already a win. Hades, Mina and Silksong are absolute timeless masterpieces. Below to vote. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Relive your greatest moments on the mountain! Now you can bring Cairn’s stellar soundtrack home as a Vinyl, featuring the moving and ethereal works of Martin Stig Andersen, Gildaa, and The Toxic Avenger! The climb wouldn’t be the same without them!

Finished Resonance (plague tale). Great game overall, loved the main char. I’m curious what’s the prod budget of such a game. 20-25 millions?

I’m listening to the music on the title screen of Orbitals and i feel like it’s an anime opening i’ve watched a hundred times in my youth. It really feels authentic!!! youtu.be/P18CI1HtQkI?...

I'm enjoying Resonance: a plague tale legacy a lot. Sophia is a very likable character and the game is well executed. It's a classic adventure game (story x combat x puzzles with a bit of platforming) but there is also some kind of "stealth" with the "creature" and it's surprisingly original-good.

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

I went to see The Odyssey at the only IMAX 70mm theater in France (in Montpellier) and oh boy… i’ve seen better 480p screener mp4. What a terrible experience. Room too small for the screen, washed up colors, tiny transparent subtitles, sides of the screen flickering, bad audio. The seats were ok.

Another strong hit for French cinema: "De la comedie Française". Extremely fun, well written, actors are fantastic. It's like "The Studio" (the seth rogen tv show) but for French plays instead of hollywood. In the theaters right now (in France).

Simple rule about sequels: - if the first game was a success and has a huge median playtime: sequel will be commercially viable. - if the first game was a success and has a short median playtime (i.e. the success was mostly "conceptual" / because the game was surprising), the sequel will not sell.

As an adult i appreciate Mario Party but each time i’ve played with kids it’s a complete disaster. The emotional tension for victory mixed with the complete randomness drives them crazy, arrogant, angry, broken. Maybe it works on Japanese kids idk but occidental kids egos are not trained for that.

If consoles bail out physical, it'll bring back physical on PC. There will always be a large amount of people who experienced strong emotions with a game who then will want to own it for the rest of their lives. Digital doesn't give you that...

Went to see Le Vertige from Dupieux on Sunday, and seeing the success of Backrooms at the same time made me realize that indie / experimental successes are quite rare in the movies compared to games. It's like once or twice a year while for games it's once or twice a month (good for the medium imo).

Trying out the SFC game and it's neat to have dialogue during the match and really good mode 7 and sprites, and it's quite unique to play a tennis game without fixed camera but behind the player instead.

Played and finished Minishoot Adventures and I highly recommend it! It's a bit like Zelda meet Furi: exploration + dual stick shooter. Very chill, extremely well paced. Great controls, legibility, level design... I could dream of this game with a "Furi" package (character, art, music, story...).
