I did see your post! I actually started CrossCode after I saw it on Fahey’s list, but I appreciate your comment nonetheless. Read more

The archaic systems and extremely limited soundtrack. Also, the lack of difficulty. (I played without any of the Draconian modifiers, and by the time I realized how easy the game was going to be, it was too late. It’s asinine that you can’t turn them on once you’ve started.) Read more

A lot of people have been asking for Obra Dinn on Switch, and I get that, because I want everything on Switch, but I actually worry that might ruin the experience. Obra Dinn is best played at a desk with a pen and notebook next to you, not in bed or on the go. It’s a game about sitting and staring and thinking — I Read more

That Cayde mission was so damn good — probably the best thing Bungie has done to date. Read more

That’s one of the big ongoing conversations at Bungie right now, I believe — how to approach Destiny 3, how it can continue what’s working so well with Forsaken, whether it should be a different SKU or a continuation of D2, and so on. Read more

Yeah if you come away from this list with one takeaway, make it to play Obra Dinn. Read more

I’ll probably wait for the Switch version and then give it another chance. Read more
