I have so many thoughts on this that I’m having trouble articulating. On one hand, Remedy has built such a rich and lore-filled world beloved by fans, and they’ve already tried their hand at live action with Quantum Break (meh). This could and maybe even should be successful. On the other, those worlds are already pretty solidly built by the actors that portray them like Courtney Hope, Matthew Porretta, Ikka Villi, and James McCaffery. I can’t imagine anyone successfully stepping into those roles.

But then, we have the major flops like the Witcher adaptation and Halo (I think? Never a fan but I’ve heard good and bad things). I know those had even more lore and perhaps even bigger worlds, bigger budgets…and they still managed to disappoint the entire fanbase.

Can you imagine them doing justice to the Ashtray Maze on TV without a bunch of blurry CGI? Or the insidious self doubt and psychological terror in Alan Wake without a bunch of jump scares?

I love AnnaPurna and Remedy so I’m truly hoping for the best.

Not if you modulate the warp field dynamics with an inverted neutrino beam. Hmph someone clearly didn’t pay attention in Professor O’Brien’s Warp Field Theory class at the academy.

Congress. The place where they’ll take even more money out of the abysmally underfunded education, nutrition and child care programs, and send them to a single overbudget gross expenditure in who-the-fuck-knows.

But right now it’s the god damn useless House. Before it was McConnell’s Senate treachery. The legislative branch would work wonders if both houses were blue.

Pffft. Who needs an owners manual when you have red shirts to sacrifice while you learn?

Oh. I like this. I’d really enjoy seeing this exhibited.

Yesss! I so wish I had picked that up during their launch sale when it was cheaper. I’ve been holding off cause of the comments while in Early Access but it looked phenomenal at launch. Seems like it just needs a bit of polish. It’s on my list for the next sale.

I’ve tried Hollow Knight 3x now and given up on it. I just can’t get into it for some reason. Loved Ori and the Will of the Wisps. HK goes in the bucket with Outer Wilds, universally loved games that didn’t click for me.

Love that the art style reminds me of a grown-up version of Rugrats. Looks interesting and fun. I’ll have to wishlist it for the current price.

Gris and Monument Valley hold very special places in my heart. This looks really promising.

Edit: for the sake of discussion, after looking at some of the comments on the vid. Any other games that fit this niche? Someone said:
