To me there are so many puzzle pieces that make up holistic accessibility, and one of those is actually informing players how your game can support them. More accessibility trailers please! 👏

The procrastination loop in Death Stranding 2 is so much fun. I had a main mission that involved going a long distance and then going back to where I started with a ton of cargo (unable to use fast travel for story reasons) and this kicked off a massive infrastructural overhaul of the entire region.

Related, I see a lot of gnashing of teeth at how similar Ghost of Yotei looks to Tsushima. Like, yeah dog, Tsushima came out in 2020. Do you -want- every game to take eight years? Sometimes iteration is the cure rather than a symptom.
