Metro Exodus is a beautiful game that takes place in a post-apocalyptic Russia. It shows the events of aliens taking over the world, and you have the three games to go through the story following your main character: Artyom. In all three games, the choices you make determine the end of that game—certain endings being cannon, with others having the possibility from the butterfly effect.
Battlefield 2042, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Far Cry 6, Cyberpunk 2077, Watch_Dog: Legion, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Remastered, and plenty more unnamed titles. What do all of these titles have in common? Each and every one of these is a slap in the face to consumers everywhere. Each and every one of these titles is a testament to just how out of touch game developers are with their own player base. After the past couple of months, or even years, you might find yourself wondering the exact same thing I am. What happened to the modern day game industry?
A very recent controversy in the gaming industry is games “journalists” demanding certain games have an easy mode so that they don't have to experience a game how its meant to be played. Instead, they just want to blaze through it to meet their deadlines and be first to write their reviews. The game that sparked this was none other than Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Firewatch is a game unlike most you’ve probably ever played. If you really love big action, life and death decisions, and feeling like you’re in control then this is decidedly not the game for you. Firewatch is a game about loss, escape, isolation, and a solitary connection through a walkie talkie. You play as Henry, a middle aged man who is at a crossroads in his life. His wife has come down with a serious illness and her care has been taken away from him by her family. His life in a downward spiral Henry takes a job out in the middle of a National Park in Wyoming to get away from everything. There he “meets” Deliah, his supervisor and with very few exceptions the only other person Henry talks to the whole game.
Greetings and salutations!
