Games as a Service need to stop. The accessibility is great but "seasonal" is just Neverending Development Hell for the poor fellows. They're just GaaS-ing us.

Actually would want to see more rough diamonds than polished turds. If more time was focused on the idea rather than the execution of graphics we would potentially see more unique games

I mean, for a while now I'm not even sure you could call those turds polished...

I want more games like Mark of the Ninja, Hollow Knight, or the Armored Core series.

Games where there is always engagement without running around in a dead map for 5 minutes to a checkpoint.

That being said, super hyped for AC6 coming next month!

Yeah. A lot of my favorite games have been the ones that don’t overstay their welcome. A few that come to mind are Portal, subnautica, a hat in time, and celeste.

Highly recommend everyone that likes Portal to try speedrunning it. It's pretty short, especially if you have practiced chamber 16/17/18. You can beat the whole game in 1-2 hours, but it will go down to more like 40 minutes without glitches if you have the solutions memorized.

Then you can save like 15-20 more minutes by learning a few really easy glitches. There's tons of tutorials on speedrun.com/portal, too

Battle Bit is pretty popular right now.
