If I can get 5-6 hours I’m happy. I don’t even know the last time I played something for myself over something for coverage

There’s also hundreds of games launching. I feel terrible for the games I want to cover but can’t.

I’m already stretched thin and working late into nights to finish reviews/plan for the next batch of titles already coming. That’s just stuff we know is coming out

Blows my mind that Ubisoft already went through this and the game was a great story for Adewale

I’ve been playing Battlefield 6 but I won’t be hitting embargo for tomorrow.

Just too much happening at once but I should have something later this week

The premise sounded incredible. And the biggest snowflakes ruin everything

Yes. I’d go back for a boss fight

The translation is really impressive. It’s one of the better translations I’ve played and the game is pretty fun, too.

I definitely need to go back and finish it up.

Yup. Bending the kneee to losers who will never play your game is spineless.

And I will remember those companies who took a side over telling the story they wanted to tell.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Little Nightmares is pretty established at this point. I know what it is and what it wants to say. Adding even the most basic combat takes away from the series' better aspects, such as puzzles and avoiding dangerous creatures.

There are better methods to improving the series as it goes on

Bobby Pashalidis @bpashalidis.bsky.social · 22h

Especially this damn close

What better time to repost my piece on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

It contains spoilers through the end of Act 1, but I really enjoyed writing it. I hope you can take a few minutes to read the article.

New from me: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 might be the new big thing but it smartly pulls inspiration from one of the industry's best games for a sucker punch story moment.

My favourite game of 2025 in a year where there's a game of the year contender releasing almost monthly.

More Verso is always good.

Being miserable just for the sake of being miserable about how people consume media doesn't come across as charming as you might think.

Little Nightmares 3 is, for better or worse, more of the same. However, the combat is such a distraction from what makes these games work: the tense exploration of a world filled with dread and horror, as well as the environmental puzzles.

Supermassive understands what makes Little Nightmares work, but it introduces combat, which I didn't like. Co-op is also included, but I had more fun playing solo.

It also has some great locations, and boy, do some of the enemies look dreadful.
