Is Batman: Arkham Origins a Christmas game? #gaming

I remember being so excited for this game, but is it a game every designer should play? Which Metal Gear Solid Game should every designer play and why? #gamedesign #gamedev #indiedev #podcast

I am loving playing Batman: Arkham Asylum again after all this time. Only a few hours in and all I want to do is play it. It doesn't feel dated at all. Such a great game. 🦇

REAL TALK: we're trying to do some very cool stuff with the next game, but it is turning out to be surprisingly expensive. If you don't own all our games yet (gasp!), grabbing them in the sale would be super handy. Thank you! store.steampowered.com/dev/sizefive
