Seems weird that they chose to go for a brown filter losing the colorful vibrancy of the original version. Going by the video they also went from potato faces to really creepy looking NPCs. Gameplay looks about as jank as ever. Heh. Not sure how I feel about UE5 being used considering that's...

Things like this is why I went back to MacOS after a decade-long hiatus. Still keeping my aging gaming rig for sure, but that's all it'll be. Everything else I can do on the Mac mini I got a few weeks ago - I've only been eyeing them ever since the M1 debut. It's whisper-quiet even under load...

I'm sorry, but supposedly fully launched games actually needing a development roadmap plan after said "1.0" sounds like the developers completely bungled the job. That's pretty much why I don't even look at the newest hotness anymore where big ticket items are concerned. There's just too much of...

Who actually asks for this? On a phone? Boggles my mind.

While an interesting concept in theory, in practice I found having to constantly switch between avoiding bullets and typing out words neither intuitive or fun. =/

I'd much rather have a Qwerkywriter instead. If nothing else it has the cool bling effect. ;)

Favorite single-player: Stardew Valley - Owned it for a long time, but hadn't really properly played it until earlier this year. Put in over 80 hours into one farm before I drifted off to play something else. Will likely return to the game eventually with a new farm in one of the alternative...

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.

John Oliver says it best. ;)

And just like with him I've also completely lost interest here as well. Half-Life 1&2 were plenty good fun in their day, and they can still provide some good replay entertainment, but I'll never put either on a 'best games ever made' pedestal like some are wont to do. shrug It's also telling...

That's why I still have no confidence when it comes to Apple and Mac gaming like this newer bout of courting AAA ports of select games, which seems little more than a repeat token effort by them... just for Apple to likely suffer another round of complete indifference in due time like they have...

Nintendo can go fuck off already. Their lawyering ways would make some American companies blush. I wouldn't be surprised if they were just miffed that someone made a more interesting (fun?) take on Pokemon than Game Freak's constant lazy regurgitations. Also, considering how many Pokemon clones...

I'm still mad at PopCap for selling out to EA, which was a literal death sentence. It's not like they were hurting for money or anything. Just the typical pure greed for a quick big payout. Supposedly they still exist on paper, but - pfft! - in reality not at all. They made some of the best...

There's an open source clone cheekily called 'BlockOut II'; they apparently have permission from the rights-holder. Good fun, but the controls definitely take a bit getting used to.

Weeell, that's debatable. While they certainly deserve praise for not abandoning the game like many other studios probably would have, I find the base game loop to be still as boring and tedious as its ever been. I keep giving my copy a try with every big update, and the fun has yet to arrive as...

As neat as these projects are, I try to avoid command lines/prompts whenever I can, which is basically all the time nowadays. Sure, I remember having to futz around a lot with such in my C64 and original DOS days, but I've never had fondness or nostalgia for any of that stuff. Don't even get me...

As someone has already indirectly mentioned, Endless Sky may be of interest to you. It's pretty much an open source clone of ye olde EV. ;)

Until the publisher decides to shut down the servers, and then you just have a useless digital game brick. Yeeeeeah... No, thanks. You say QoL, I say shit-sandwich DRM scheme. Simultaneous turns sounds good in theory, but I've yet to see an actual good implementation of such in any strategy...

Life imitates art, eh? Still bonkers.
