the whole netease situation is so fucked up. my favorite studio, grasshopper, is also owned by netease...sigh

Pleased to report that I *love* Avowed, the latest RPG from Obsidian. I expected strong writing and combat, but what’s surprised me (and kept me wanting more even after 40 hours) is the exploration. Everywhere you turn there’s a secret or treasure or rooftop to climb — it’s dense and full of life.

Avowed once again proves why Obsidian is among the best in the RPG genre. Aside from minor bugs and some weaknesses in quest design, Avowed is highly recommended and a true RPG hit. My review: gamesfinest.de/tests/test-a... (Review is in German, feel free to translate!)

State of Play was okay-ish at best.

Excited to announce that I’m reviewing #Avowed for @gamesfinest.de ! Thanks to @xbox.com and @obsidian.net for providing early access. You can expect my review to drop on February 13th. Stay tuned! ⚔️🌌

And that's a wrap on Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. A superb shadow drop that brightened up my weekend. Ah, we need more games like this. I still can't believe Ninja Gaiden 4 is coming - BY PLATINUM. Even without some key people, this can only turn out great. Kudos to Xbox for publishing NG4 - can't wait!

I’ve seen this story getting a lot of traction on Reddit today but it’s not true. People across the org were informed before my article went out last week.

My latest and greatest is a review of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. Please have a look!

HERE GOES NOTHING

Tonight's the night, huh?

AGDQ 2025 has been one of the greatest GDQs in YEARS! Can't wait for the infamous post GDQ depression🥲

happy new year!

unless it's on MY console😡

Let's summarize: A guy walks on stage, helping laid-off devs get back into the industry. Everyone stands up—except one. Sven Wincke gives a speech calling out the industry’s greed. Everyone applauds—except one. Astro Bot wins Game of the Year. Everyone cheers—except one. Oh Phil...

I have a really good feeling and am hyped about #TheGameAwards. You only need to believe one of the 15 rumors to consider it an amazing show. Can’t wait!

my BOLD #TheGameAwards predictions: Half Life 3 Hollow Knight: Silksong (will shadowdrop)

I reviewed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for @gamesfinest.de The review is in German but feel free to translate the page with any common tool of your choice! Indiana Jones is crazy good and the best Xbox game of the last decade. gamesfinest.de/tests/test-i...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle really was made for me. I love immersive sims, I love history, I love the Indiana Jones franchise and I effing love Machine Games! It's THAT! good.

@derv.bsky.social kurz mal danke, dass du nicht der narrative "ABER SPIELE MÜSSTEN EIGENTLICH TEURER SEIN" hinterherplapperst. das...wars eigentlich auch schon. danke

fuck elon and fuck all gamergate clowns

Time to remember that Yoshida was banned on Miiverse not once - but twice (!) for loving video games www.ign.com/articles/201...

Yoshida was the last key PlayStation figure who was truly this sympathetic and -above all- human. He was someone whose love for video games you could genuinely believe. Too bad!

🥰

Flight Sim 2024 is still unplayable for me. Sigh.

selling a cloud-based system for $349... great idea!
