The seasons are changing and the days are growing colder, but that means it’s almost time for everyone’s favorite festival of the Fall!
A Disco Elysium mobile adaptation is coming, with the original devs reimagining the gloomy RPG to create pockets of compelling storytelling.
Disco Elysium is a genuine masterpiece, I'm happy if more people can play it regardless of whether it's PC, console or mobile.
Acclaimed indie game Spelunky 2 has scored a surprise native PS5 upgrade. Available now on the PS Store, if you already own this iconic roguelike then you can download the new-gen version free-of-charge.
A dream it shall remain
Dreams had potential but it really needed to get off of the PS4. It released so late in the gen when everyone was already wanting to move on to next gen systems. It should have come to PC, and a native PS5 version should have definitely released.
I bought it Day 1 but the 'campaign' was pretentious and just didn't work for me. I had no intention of making content so was left to fumble through the user created content. Some good stuff, with the pig detective being the most memorable. However, just moved on to other stuff, and despite owning VR, never once played in VR either.
Media Molecule always seem to be too ahead of the curve to have a big hit. Hopefully whatever they are working on now finds a big audience.
For whatever reason/s they somehow dropped the ball hard with Dreams, our loss
Dreams was fantastic, especially when VR was added. The things people managed to build was incredible. Some of the best VR experiences are still from Dreams experiences. The huge crux for it was being on consoles however and it was missing one thing that they didn't have back then and that we have now..... A.I.. With the advent of AI today, if they could have had Dreams running on PC and somehow got AI to work where we just typed in a prompt and it did things, it would have been a massive game changer, it could have just made the AI "Dream" and create its own things. It could have solved their problem of somehow getting one dream to just change into another one seamlessly. I really think Dreams deserves a second chance.
It was an awesome idea but even with tools that were supposed to make it easier to make a game, it was still so hard and convoluted. It tried to do to much at once. It would have been better to separate everything into easier parts, build the world, then the character's, then the music, etc. Not everything all at once. Some people understood it but most were overwelmed or confused.
