To me it wasn’t bad, but more like a 5/6 out of 10. I’m curious if you agree with that score and if not, what elevates it for you?
Another issue I think the game had was it cost 100million (at least according to Microsoft). Regardless of the quality it certainly didn’t sell well enough.
To be honest, having played both Contrast and South of Midnight, I’m not sure how the studio still exists. Neither of those games were bad, but they also weren’t anything beyond mediocre.
South of Midnight might have hit harder if it came out in the 360 era, but it felt very dated on release. The only saving grace was some cool animation and the music.
Lots of indie games work well, especially if they’re pixel art or 2D.
Things like Hades 1/2, Dead Cells, Ball x Pitt.
Slice and Dice is an amazing game. I love the amount of variety in game types.
Sadly I feel like most games that are any good are PC ports:
There is a Final Space graphic novel coming out that should wrap up the plot!
I was actually curious about this. Based on historic data we aren’t seeing an increase in recalls (yet). It’s possible each recall is worse (affecting more products or people), but I didn’t see enough information to analyze that. I suspect that we’re really just seeing more news articles because of the really bad lettuce recall.
