iazu @iazu.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Retrospace demo has me thinking about leaning in games. Thief 1/2 and System Shock 2 really spoiled us in that department. I've played a lot of games over the years and to date I've not encountered a lean as good as those games had. Even Deus Ex, landmark game that it was, has a *terrible* lean. 100
iazu @iazu.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Retrospace demo is awesome. Anyone who liked System Shock 2 or the 2017 Prey should take a look.

iazu @iazu.bsky.social · 20/04/2026For me one of the big signs that a game is really special is when I start dreading the end. Not wanting it to be over.
