God. It just occured to me Routine teaches you a mega crouch during the tutorial. You use it during the tutorial. The function is never used in the game ever again.
It was as obvious as it seems. Then the story and setting changes. And its to a massive detriment. I wrapped the game, and was left confused and angry.
It just drops the ball, falls on its face and pretends like it was clever.

I'm enjoying the vibes of Routine, but I sure hope that the plot isn't as obvious as it seems after chapter 1.

Actually think as much as people may disagree, Mario Kart World should have been in contention for OST of the year. Just none of us got to hear it until now due to the lack of settings.
I don’t think it would have beat Expo33, but it should’ve been in the conversation

I know I’m late to the party by 2 years on this one but just finished MK1.
What a superb story mode with great new takes on the characters right up until it isn’t.
Everything it built, thrown away for multiverse bullshit so they could sell skins, forever not coming up with interesting new ideas

Look, I don’t think the new Running Man looks that good from the trailers, but Edgar Wright deserves the benefit of the doubt and I’ll see it.

Look. Unreal 5 is a technically beautiful engine; but Halo remake like a lot of UE5 games looks soulless. Devoid of the originals unique art aspects.
I honestly feel the same way about MGS3 deltas look.
Remember when we had all those Unreal Mario videos and we hated it? It’s that.

Having console games and AAA titles running on handheld has been the death of innovation and unique quality in the handheld space.
I also think its been awful for small studios, who can no longer cut their teeth on cheaper to make handheld smaller scale games.
