Stoked to have a review of Silent Hill: Townfall by @reidmccarter.bsky.social on Kotaku today! kotaku.com/silent-hill-...

…levels deeper than they might imagine. It asks how our sense of self is directed by our jobs, and how (or if we can decouple personal and professional responsibility. It wants its player to consider individual and communal
indebtedness within the framework of a cruel world. Simply asking these questions gives Townfall a vibrancy uncommon to big-budget game productions. The thin answers given to these questions, though, are a letdown in proportion to the promise given by posing them in the first place.

Control Resonant is proof that bigger is not better. A sequel that misunderstands what made the original so gripping. A tired open-world, middling combat, and a by the book story don't help. But even more disappointing is how it casts aside Jesse. www.polygon.com/control-reso...

Stoked to have a review of Control Resonant by the always thought-provoking Cole Kronman on Kotaku today. kotaku.com/control-reso...

You’ve seen it in trailers: there is another, more opaque antagonistic force afoot in Control Resonant, one that effectively warps spaces and objects into fluctuating, kaleidoscopic recursion art. The game calls this force “The Pattern,” and it’s the basis for the vast majority of its most inventive aesthetic and ludic ideas. From Control onward, Remedy has fully embraced the notion of video games as interactive art exhibits, designing environments under the guiding principle that 3D art and 3D level geometry can be the exact same thing. Resonant represents what is perhaps the most compelling implementation of this ethos yet: The Pattern is a visual and technical marvel, and it’s also an impetus for players to rethink their relationship with spaces that regularly twist and fold back on themselves. There is nothing else that plays quite like this because there is nothing else that looks quite like this—the case for Remedy, once again, is that they understand on a bone-deep level what makes this medium interesting, and pursue their vision with a fervor begotten of generosity. They made Resonant because they want us to understand, too.
