Hey, hey! I've made my @rpgsite.net (and game critic) debut with a deeeeeep dive look at a game I've been anticipating for years: @somethingclassic.bsky.social's Quartet.
How does it compare to recent retro revival RPGs like Chained Echoes, Sea of Stars, and Eiyuden Chronicle? Let's find out.

Inspired by RPGs of the '90s, Quartet is Something Classic's proof that they've grown up and become more confident with age, and that there's room for continued growth to match their ambition. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/18986-quartet-review

I love them both. They were the best possible introduction to Metroid when I was ready to try out the series.
- Metroid Prime (GameCube)
- Metroid Fusion (Game Boy Advance)
Released November 17th, 2002.
23 years ago TODAY!
These are two AWESOME Metroid games that brought Samus Aran back from an 8 YEAR hiatus.
You can't go wrong with either, but play BOTH of them if you haven't.
Trust me.💫

Good on Sega JP to recognize the global cost of living challenges and adjust salaries upward for the well being of their employees. Other companies should follow this example.

I thought it was nice that today's Playstation State of Play had a human host in front of the camera throughout. This choice was a big upgrade over the disembodied corporate narrator voice from previous presentations.
