Holy WOW!! ๐ฎโค๏ธ
I just came out of a 4 hour long systems sync after our recent playtests for Wicked and checked the stats for videogamescritic.com
This site really blew up - It was already a very useful tool for myself, but it's super nice to see that gamers at large seem to get a huge kick out of it! ๐
And there were some good suggestions made in the comments here - People wanted to know average playtimes on each title, which is already in progress.
Any other feature requests?
Ultimately the goal with videogamescritic.com is for it to simply be the best tool out there for gamers to quickly find new games to play.
For people who are worried about how we handle review bombing and verified users and so on, the entire scoring method is broken down in detail right here: videogamescritic.com/methodoโฆ

Tales of Kenzera: Zau is simply gorgeous, but the story behind it all is what makes @surgentstudios first game so powerful. Abubakar Salim spoke to the BBC about grief, storytelling and gaming's Black Panther moment. ow.ly/1hGw50RmTv7

Tales of Kenzera: Zau is one of my favourite games of 2024 so far, so it was an honour to speak to @Abzybabzy and @zipeters about its development! thegamer.com/tales-of-kenzerโฆ

15 minutes in and Iโve seen enough too. What a wonderful journey and emotional, well-crafted art, especially the VO and writing. Canโt wait to play more.
Congrats to @surgentstudios and @Abzybabzy on launching #ZauTheGame

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a 4/5 experience that I highly recommend
This heartfelt tale of grief set in African culture and lore hit me on emotional level I wasn't ready for
Gameplay is classic 2D Metroidvania and gets the job done with fast combat and abilities
The voice cast excels and the art style is fantastic
Full review on Xcast later this week

There's a reason that Judas, the next game from BioShock & BioShock Infinite creator Ken Levine, has been in the works for over a decade. It's a concept called "Narrative LEGOs" & it's fascinating. Join @geoffkeighley & I as we interview Ken...unfiltered. ign.com/articles/judas-firstโฆ

5 months ago Patrick Harpin walked into @wbpictures @DCofficial and pitched a ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฆ๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฅ Animated Feature.
Before we pitched, they warned us "there is absolutely no way we can do a ๐๐ฆ๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฅ movie", but they loved our enthusiasm. We pitched the outline for the entire film, and what started as a 'never' turned into a 'maybe'.
In the time since, we've been pitching our way up the company hoping to get to @jamesgunn. But for now, here's a taste of what we've been cooking.

took a while to figure out a workflow for the diagrams but now I'm happy with it, thx noclip.website
also, browsing the LODs show an older version of the level (!)

What are some interesting enemy design layers that are slowly introduced to the player in Hollow Knight? Enemies need to provide increased challenge over the course of a game but also be digestible/fair to learn. Letโs look at early to mid game enemies. #gamedev #combatdesign ๐งต

(1/4) Setting the record straight about Arkane: both Lyon and Austin are amazing. Dishonored 1 was incubated and led in Austin: story, lore, creative direction, by Harvey, and myself. Lyon was in charge of the art (under Seb and Viktor)
