A look at Zelda-like games that fans should try.
Game reviews have been around since the mid-1970s. Play Meter was the first of its kind. During their time, it was mainly coin-operated machines that were covered, as certain arcade games that many of us consider classics such as Space Invaders were popular. Other publications sprang up, such as Arcade Alley in 1979. From then on, gaming journalism was on the rise. Electronic Games Magazine, Famitsu, The Games Machine, Nintendo Power, and others all gave way to gaming journalism’s growing popularity and importance. In the beginning, gaming journalism was about the love of the games, the history of the product, and giving potential consumers genuine insight. The passion was there. The commitment was there. The insight was there. And most importantly, the trust was there.
They've become nothing more than corporate shills. Rather than speaking truth to power, they're just looking at the latest clickbait no matter how false it is.
The straight up lies are annoying. Then journalists claim that a lie is an opinion. Um... no.
yea its been like this for years and only has gotten worse during covid.
they are sometimes worse than celeb. trash news ha.
"you will NOT believe what the DEV of XYZ said"
or and those are my favourites,
"XYZ game gets REMASTER TREATMENT" and you click on the link and its just a god damn mod ha.
"XYZ Players are saying THIS about the new update!"
And the article is based on a single tweet from someone with an anime profile image
The gaming landscape today is full of corporations trying to suck as much money out of us as possible while giving us as little as possible in return that's the biggest problem I see right now and the fact the journos should be the ones calling the gross practices out now suckle at the teat of the publishers to stay in favour and maintain working relationships to avoid being blacklisted for reviews and preview events show their interests do not align with ours.
The transparent tech revival continues with Xbox Design Lab's Cipher Series, and Ghost Cipher Xbox Wireless Controller Special Edition.

well, good list... I can add Metroid Prime trilogy
3D Dot Game Heroes is like Demon's Souls in that it went under the radar for many people. It really is a good game, even if you don't play it for that nostalgic feeling.
I'd put Darksiders, Kameo, and Arkham Asylum/City and from last gen Starfox Adventures, as well as The binding of Issac (classic dungeon Zelda) in such a list.
Perhaps even Fable which seems to be heavily inspired by Zelda, although it's more of a mush up of genres.
Bookmarked for future reference. Will try to get my hands on those I haven't played yet.
