Maybe I’ll soften on it over time and in hindsight and with a fun dlc or two

Helen @helln.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Well. While this game had some really great set pieces, a very fun surprise and some truly interesting missions, overall… it’s a very big MEH for me :(

Overall the first one just felt so much more mysterious and atmospheric, as if there was some big revelations just around the corner! And stuff like the title cards, Oceanview motel, the film overlays etc did a lot for the mood. But we’ll see how they wrap it up!

Helen @helln.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I really liked the underpass storyline I have to say! Overall I think it’s a mixture of the new combat system + city exploration being so spider-man-like and the truly weird parts reminding me a lot of the dr strange bits I’ve seen 😅

I think I’m in the final third of Control: Resonant now and while I’ve been enjoying myself, my verdict so far: it’s way less Lynch and way more Marvel than I’d like it to be

Helen @helln.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Sadly not! Had a lovely chat with the rest of the team, but I hope we’ll get to meet some other time as well (horse themed release party maybe??)

So happy I finally got to use the famous saddle controller! A shame I only got the cowboy hat a day after... :D Looking forward to the full release soon!

Video game idea: third-person action-adventure that starts off as typical triple-A fare until the protagonist has to squeeze through a narrow gap... ...and gets stuck. Game subsequently becomes a 127 Hours-like survival sim, where you do whatever it takes to extricate yourself.

For my second part of the Under the Island post mortem which is focused on data I was wondering what data would be interesting for you to hear? I can't tell you the exact revenue data but I think anything else should be fine, so in what data are you interested?

I was/(am?) SO excited for Control resonant, but the main combat showcased in the new Gameplay Trailer just looks like... a worse version of Insomniac's Spider-Man.

While I still wished the puzzles had more depth, the beautiful style, characterizations and them knowing where to leave a gap in the narrative made it all worthwile! Hope to see them iterating and evolving this concept :)

Helen @helln.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

As the plot unraveld and I got to know literally all 26(?) characters, the true fun began: wild speculations! In the end, it was a great run and very entertaining.

Played the @blakemanorgame.bsky.social over the Winter Holidays and had a FANTASTIC time in the end. I wanted to love it since the start, but honestly had a hard time getting into it, due to the massive cast being introduced at the beginning and the first puzzles feeling rather shallow. HOWEVER

Three weeks ago this statement would have made no sense to me. But on my recent trip to the US I went into a thrift store and in that thrift store was also a pharmacy. A whole new world of medical convenince possibilities opened up in my mind.

Very much possible I think! He doesn’t even look that slow, just… heavier, which makes sense of course. But the super direct and fast movement of Selene was one of my fav parts of the game. We‘ll see!

Helen @helln.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

Prepared for this to put me into an abysmal mood, both due to difficutly AND atmosphere/story

Helen @helln.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

Very much looking forward to this game! Looks like they pretty much kept the core gameplay from Returnal (which was FUN) - only thing I'm a tad sceptical about is the player character not being quite as nimble as Selene was, although he's fast. (Plus, I adored Selene, Rahul Kohli must be great tho)
