Couldn't think of a better date to finish the brilliant feel-good masterclass that is Donkey Kong Bananza.
This is game/level design in it's most purified state - playful, intentional, and TACTILE - but I also love its narrative and characters.
(potentially spoiler video next)

Friendly reminder that a game meeting or beating expectations does not necessarily mean it sold better or worse than other games. Internal financial expectations and comparative performance between titles are different things.

London is a place that truly values diversity, inclusion, equality and opportunity – and is a shining success because of it.
I can only imagine that some political commentators don’t like our city because it’s an engine of social progress.
