Deadwire takes a tactical approach to top-down shooters by implementing some incredibly clever hacking-puzzles.

Accidental mood lighting 💡 sometimes the coolest parts of a game are...a total fluke? This lighting might be canon now 😅

I've wanted to break this down for a bit: Wrote about a big quirk in how Game Awards is structured that makes it tough for small games to compete at a top level. Localization matters! And it creates a tough battle for the Blue Princes and 1000xResists of the world. www.polygon.com/blue-prince-...

In the GOTY race, localization really matters — which is bad news for Blue Prince

One of the year's best games will have a tough time breaking into The Game Awards
