i donāt play many video games but this is one of the coolest. the premise is that you are a grim reaper but itās an office job which sounds silly lol but the storylines are really interesting and quite clever - it kind of felt like reading a book! the art in the game is neat too

Cute, souls-like, 3D, isometric, action adventure game. One of my all time favourite games, and I can't believe that it was developed by just two guys in Manchester. They were inspired by dark souls and top-down Zelda games, combined with Studio Ghibli animation. I've attached a game play trailer. I don't really hear people talk about it much and I really think more people should play it! Its game-play feels really slick and satisfying and not clumky like some isometric sword combat games can be. It's challenging, but not sadistic (I tried to play Tunic which is similar and just gave up cause it was so punishing). I have already played it twice and I'm itching for another run through.

This game is like reading a long choose-your-own-adventure book with dark, moody watercolor illustrations.
You attempt to solve a murder as a cop suffering from amnesia and drug addiction. Itās so much weirder and cooler than Iām making it sound.

Immortality-more horror/mystery. you scrub through footage of a movie star and things get weird, fast. really unique storytelling, great acting. don't want to say anything else to avoid any spoilers!
Return of the Obra Dinn-detective/puzzle. you move through time and memories on the once lost merchant ship Obra Dinn and uncover a wild and twisted story. super detailed, extremely addictive in my experience, really unique graphics. it's like an interactive comic book with the most satisfying reveals and discoveries.
Honorable mentions: Strange Horticulture, Gris (all time fav platformer), Void Crew (more of a strategy game than a story game but fun to play with friends)

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleās attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (āunaliveā), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, āalpha maleā podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā¦ the list goes on
