I think we might have different expectations here. I think if a company sells a broken game, they should fix it without praise. The consumers paid for it. Specially should they not get an award for that. There should be a category for “most stable release” instead.
Hell yeah, the first one came out around the time when indie games started to take off. Braid, Limbo, World of Goo, Super Meat Boy.
Here is a good video explaining it
In two years they can get the award for “best ongoing game” then, just like Cyberpunk :D
I don’t usually play horror games but man I loved SOMA.
That’s fair. Might actually be a good category.
Really enjoyed the first one. Looking forward to the 2nd one. But I hope they fixed the stupid insta-death spikes.
Edit: Ah, the Push Square review mentions it.
No spoilers but for me it was really the ending that hit hard.
Friends Per Second podcast had an interesting discussion around it. The term Indie isn’t well defined. Maybe never was. Most people probably see DtD as indie even though it had a publisher. A new category could be “independent” which actually has games that were published independently.
Unskippable cutscenes in Boss fights is such a middle finger to gamers.
Seems to have massive performance issues that get worse the longer you play. Hope they manage to fix that. Was looking forward to playing it coop with a friend.
Is there any backtracking to the bosses or are you straight in again?
The Jeff Bezos rowing boat video is a goddamn masterpiece. The amount of effort put into such an absurd project plus his entire side quest about baldness is just art!
Enjoy! (hopefully)
I really hope the puzzles are less shit and distracting than in the first one. Lost all interest because of them.
Yes, indie is short for independent but the meaning of “indie” game isn’t as clear cut anymore (was it ever?). As you can see with Dave the Diver.
Thank you :)
Will it fix the crunchy sound the grass makes? :D
Cyberpunk winning best ongoing game is such a joke. Yes, I enjoyed the DLC but if any game with DLC and updates can be part of that category then that category has no meaning at all.
