Agreed. There was a fantastic time for mobile games before things went downhill.
I have a strong memory of being in an apple store, finding a display iPad, and becoming enraptured by Plants vs Zombies. I would eventually get my own and put dozens and dozens of hours into the game.
Then EA took it over and turned it into trash.
This is such a bizarre conclusion to come to.
I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.
I remember looking at the rows of PC game boxes at the store and being very curious about Myst. But for some reason I never asked my parents for it. I guess maybe since I didn’t really have any idea what it was, it just felt like something out of reach.
I love “artsy puzzle games” now, so I feel like that would have been a pretty cool experience for me way back then!
+1 for sea of thieves.
I’ve been reading this like a madman for the last week. It’s nuts and I now cannot wait for the anime to drop.
I had a bad feeling when I saw another developer had picked it up. This sounds worse than I imagined.
Oh that’s very interesting! I will keep this in mind as something to try.
You got the answer right there, it’s cross play. When you have child in the family who wants to play Minecraft on their iPad, and a parent who would like to join in on their Mac, you just can’t do it. And that stinks.
It also feels like relatively low-hanging fruit from a development perspective.
At this price I’m so glad I decided to go for a slim instead of holding out for the pro. Absolutely no way.
I still want to see bedrock on the mac. 😔
I had to laugh when I saw the way she sprints.
I loved Control, but I’m feeling kinda meh about a TV show. If it does happen I’ll keep an open mind and check it out.
Absolutely looking forward to Control 2 however.
Agreeing with all these comments. The game started off really strong in my opinion, but it falls flat very hard after a certain point. Both from a writing perspective and in the combat variety.
The interrupts were interesting to me because I hadn’t seen a mechanic quite like that before. But I suppose it’s true that once you see an enemy charging up there is essentially just one “correct” choice to make, which limits what choices you actually have and puts you on a rail.
Sooooo many moonerangs. That was a big complaint of mine as well. The combat doesn’t really evolve much.
Hmmm maybe I should revisit this game. I got about 3/4 of the way and kinda ran out of steam on it.

I will take a look at that, thanks!
We recently watched Dungeon Meshi and Spy x Family with our kid and both were a big hit. I’m curious if anyone has recs for shows with a similar vibe and maturity level. I liked that both shows have comedy, positive messages, and light drama.
The violence in dunmeshi was borderline at times but overall not a problem as long as it’s not more much than that.
Was curious what combat 2.0 meant.
This feels like a good change. I always felt like combos didn’t get much use outside of boss fights due to them resetting every battle. I’m not sure this entirely fixes the other problem wherein I almost exclusively used Mending Light, however.
