games I enjoyed in 2017
this is not another one of your running away from home excursions. your grandfather won't send someone to pick you up this time. that's all gone now.
The rings spin up and the challenge is to get out in one piece. At first, staying in there is the only sane thing to do. But as the hunger comes, the rhythm of the spinning starts to sink it. At some point you realize that starving eats away at your chance of making it out… and the leap.
I don’t get it. What gramps did, to hundreds of Resourcefuls, for this?
of course you do.
i want that feeling of having my brain can opened by a game again the way that ECHO did. it really made me feel like i was peering into just like, this teeny tiny sliver so far into the future i can't even imagine, shadows on a wall through the mouth of the player character and companion.
like the sheer scale of technology and humanity's reach throughout space, the casual normality of borderline godly AI. i LOVE that feeling, i love reading and watching and experiencing sci-fi just trying to find more of that feeling. and like a story isn't bad if it doesn't pull that feeling out of me of course but holy hot damn is it a cool high.
i think my only quibble is a little bit of the character writing feeling a bit stiff, but like for once i'm willing to overlook it, especially since it's such a well contained story otherwise. i LOVE watching En and London and their bitterness towards the world an each other slowly transform throughout the story.
it is SUCH a cool damn game and i hope people experience it for themselves. Ultra is no longer in business and there will probably never be a sequel but the sheer experience of the first game? not something i'd miss.
hilariously, the best strat i've discovered to win the game is the schoolyard bully push tactic, which DOES undercut the majesty of the setting a bit but it's explained pretty darn well in-world.
