I did have fun with jason rohrer's Sleep is Death, not really a game though, just like a weird interactive storytelling application where essentially one person is the DM that builds an adventure game in real time as the other person interacts with it

Fez is hugely overrated, it's an ok platformer but it's chock full of "indie deep" bullshit.

I've never played a Jon Blow game. He seems ignorant.

elaborate, cause that doesn't describe fez at all imo, there's no pretension to it and its not a game with a message. the thing that works about fez is that during the first loop it is just a mediocre platformer, but then you start learning the meaning of certain signs and symbols and realize the game is loving soaked in them and it becomes a real paranoid-schizophrenic experience of trying to figure out the meaning of every little thing in the world and more often than not you get rewarded for it. I still have my notebook from when I played that game and it looks like a crazy person wrote it

if you decipher the mysterious god-cube's dialogue in the beginning of the game it's just "lol your head's weird, here's a hat"

fez was a lot of things but pretentious wasn't one of them

I just beat Minit and it's super charming and original and I'm gonna go back and find all the stuff. Here's Tim Rogers raving about it.

Devolver is selling plushies that come with game keys and it's worth buying the game that way because the plushies are very soft and have cute noses and limbs.

Minit is extremely good and made my week so check it out sometime! It's only like two hours the first time through but there's a lot more to do after that and it's an extremely good two hours.

I've got one heart and a very frustrating secret item left to get for 100%. It is a very cool game.

My favorite part of Minit is when I had no idea what to do next and was just trying random stuff knowing it wouldn't work. I've done that kind of thing in zelda games before but it takes on an entirely different feel when you have a timer telling you exactly how much you're wasting your time lol

Yeah but it's still a mediocre platformer to play and I don't give a crap about any of that so I hated fez.

i will agree that the part of fez where you hold the controller is the weakest part, and it could just as easily have been a really good usborne superpuzzle book

I had the opposite reaction to that stuff. Like, it's just a bunch of QR codes and cryptic bullshit, and the world and characters weren't interesting enough to make me care.

Fez was cool and good. Phil Fish was an unpleasant guy but he wasn't a literal white/male supremacist or whatever so he'd be in the top 50% of twitter if he was still active today.

Yeah it was definitely Blow and not Fish who said the dumb thing about women in tech

Fish and his wife were victims of a GG harassment campaign for not hating women

I use notebooks a lot. Especially in any games with puzzles, I take notes on stuff a lot. I also have a notebook for keeping track of FFXIV currencies but that's just because writing stuff down on a piece of paper is easier than navigating the game's UI

This is why I skipped Breath of the Wild. I'm probably the only Switch user that doesn't have that game.

If not for the durability system you would have no reason to experience the weapon system's cornucopia of diversity like sword, big sword, and big sword with lower numbers.
