Hi, I'm Andrei and my goal is to tell the truth with grace and beauty. And get paid in the process.

Here is some of my work:

understandable, but if a game releases in a poor state and 1 or 2 years later it achieves or surpasses its potential, i am much more forgiving. right now i am curious to see if Monster Hunter Wilds will ever be fixed.

Cyberpunk 2077 was the 2nd buggiest release of its year (ask me what the buggiest was?) but still an audience wanted to see the game win through. Because jank and bugs don't make a game boring.

VtM: Bloodlines launched in a state that could permanently break your save. Still around, still great, still imperfect. Jank is playful and so are bugs. There are Stalker oldheads who refuse to mod because the bugs are so deeply ingrained into the experience.

I've learned over the years that bugs and jank don't make a game boring. Some of the most boring games I've ever played are superbly polished AAA joints. The production quality isn't a boon, but an imposition. These games aren't allowed to appear less than respectable. Jank can be liberating.

Some endings are complete surprises, some known well in advance. There are those that fall neatly into place. Others humbly shuffle on and off the stage. Still others must be orchestrated, frogmarched, or finessed. And some leave you utterly befuddled. And that is Hades II.

I haven't seen Inherent Vice but after There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread I've always got time for PTA

LIFEBAR 005 begins now!!!

Starting with a hot take: What if @easbygames.bsky.social told you that MyGM Mode in WWE 2K25 was one of the best post COVID-era strategy games available???
WWE 2K25’s MyGM MODE IS ONE OF THE MOST TENSE STRATEGY GAMES OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS
MyGM is a tactical gift that keeps on giving

My beef wit SH2R is that, as far as any broad audience is concerned, SH2 doesn't exist anymore, and it's gonna take a generation to undo.

To me it felt throughout like some kind of absurdist comedy marbled with levels of painful sincerity. Some of the religious references flew a bit over my head to be honest.

Skin Deep is an indie immersive sim. This is a game that succeeds at being funny on purpose. Step into the shoes of Nina Pasadena and rescue barefoot your cat bosses from pirates. Tactical resources include: banana peels and the trash chute. You will use both liberally.

Judero by @taloketo.bsky.social and @king-spooner.bsky.social was my favorite game of 2024, a demonstration of how music and poetry are both truth and truths combined spell out the human soul which is contained within.

Phoenix Springs is one of the few point and click games that truly feel like a result of 21st century art and I urge everyone interested in ludonarrative to play it. Alexandra Crow's performance as Iris Dormer is terrific.

I'll put Dread Delusion in the slightly off kilter weird fantasy genre, which really doesn't and shouldn't exist, which is what makes it worth it in the first place. It dodges the pains of conventional fantasy and contains some genuinely great imagery and language.

Like serial killers who are precious about books? Detectives with middle age burnout in the middle ages? Pentiment has it all and works with each as if it's a novel concept and will have you believing it. Another Obsidian classic.

Duty compels me to continue singing the praises of Ultros, the best metroidvania you don't know about, but should. This *botanovania* looks and sounds wonderful and will teach you to truly appreciate flower power.

I'd describe Norco as the result of William Gibson dropping the technobabble and embracing the dirt and the people who live in it, that is, us. It's a point & click joint and a weirder thing than you expect and it rocks.

Talos Principle II plays like a philosophical dialogue between mythological beings. It's a scifi game that doesn't part from the assumption that the human touch will ruin everything. Its puzzles filled me with the delight of epiphany. A much needd counterweight to the trend of dystopias.
