Nice to see that many games seem to experiment with a lower price point. Makes a day 1 purchase for me much more likely. More of this please:

I watched with the deepest respect at the magic conjured up on screen. So many players and journalists simply don't realize just how much effort, teamwork, and time goes into even the smallest details here. Nothing but love for the teams—and congratulations on those big moments in the spotlight! ♥️🙏

Man, I love videogames. But #mixtape is the first one that genuinely made me SMILE in a loooong time. That intro with Devo is just chefs kiss. 👌 amazing job @mixtapegame.bsky.social.

After beating Resident Evil, and returning to reality, everything is still Resident Evil...

Toilet paper with cute, little Raccoon illustrations – reminding me of Raccoon City and the little, hidden Mr. Raccoon toys in game.

A small banana plant, in a large, brown, simply kept pot with green, big, shiny leaves, reminding me of the green herb in RE.

Weird, oversized, teddy stuffed animals / cuddly toys in a store window, especially thier faces are reminding me of the stuffed animals inside the orphanage in RE Requiem.

Some weird golden, shiny horse emblem/ art piece in an antique frame, mounted to a black Monolith, with vase on top, inside a antique shop that looks like being part of a RE riddle.

I really can’t understand the criticism on #metroidprime4. This game is a banger and evokes the same feelings I had when I played Metroid prime on GameCube for the first time. A 9/10 for me for sure. Please @retrostudios.bsky.social, make another one. You nailed it.

@timgettys.bsky.social giving Metroid prime 4 a 9 out of 10 saved my day. That’s al I needed to know, regardless of what other reviews say. Tim gets the Metroid-vibes and love the first one as much as I do. Love you Tim, keep doing what you do. 🙏

#ghostofyotei has one of the best intros and outros in videogames. It opens with a bang and leaves you with a feeling of sadness and pride for the journey you have been on. Well done @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social, well done indeed. My game of the year.

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

The internet: „Console-gaming is dead“. Also the internet (mostly pc-users): “Valve releases a console-like #steammachine - I’m hyped and sold as fuck”. Isn’t making gaming easier and more accessible just what consoles have been doing for 40 years now?
