😂 yes and also 😫 yes

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Sep 10

It’s no wonder Silksong took six years to develop. The attention to detail is incredible and the game is stunningly beautiful.

I could only play a little so far but it seems really good.

What does the future hold for The Chinese Room?

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Sep 4

Just FYI for anyone trying to download Silksong on gamepass. You may need to go into the store and download it from there.

Team Cherry @teamcherry.bsky.social · Sep 4

The hunt is on! Hollow Knight: Silksong is available now on all platforms, including day one on Xbox Game Pass!

The Chinese Room boss says cost-conscious development is the future

"I don't think it takes away from the creative opportunity to do something original and different even if budgets are half what they were three or four years ago, but we just need to make sure we're not being wasteful."

Studio director Ed Daly explains how the newly-independent studio will chart a sustainable path forward after splitting from Sumo Group and making layoffs.

Shinobi Art of Vengeance - Yuzo Koshiro audio tracks

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Sep 3

Also forgot to mention that I rolled credits on Shinobi Art of Vengeance yesterday. Great game. Excellent action and combat. Mid story but a small complaint.

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Sep 3

My PS5 crashed so hard while playing Shinobi that I had to literally unplug the power cord to shut it off 😳

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Aug 31

I heard Yuzo Koshiro had created some of the tracks in the new Shinobi game, and I was finally able to track down which ones they were and compile them in a YouTube video.

100% 🙌 music in most games I’ve played so far is really great. Can’t say that about its competitors. Sure they have games with great music, but not as many.

Happy birthday to the TurboGrafx-16, which launched on this day in 1989!

Recently, my 7-year-old clutched my TurboExpress as we boarded a plane. “Dad, can we beat Cadash together?” they asked. Watching them discover the same wonder I felt 35 years ago, I realized the Turbo...

Love the article! I think the TurboGrafx’ unique library is one of its best qualities. Great to read about your experience with it.

Don’t see it yet. Maybe you have to beat the game first? I think it helps to turn on Japanese voices though. At least it eliminates the awful English voice acting.

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Aug 26

Maybe they should’ve called it the SwitchU

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Aug 26

I’ll check when I get home

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Aug 26

I hope the full release has that arcade mode setting the demo did which cuts out the story.

Gamatroid 🕹️ @gamatroid.bsky.social · Aug 26

Got about an hour with the new Shinobi this morning. Gameplay is so good, and traversal and combat are smooth as butter. The story is rather mid and I prefer to skip all the dialog, but the actual game itself is very solid.
