Sadly wasn't able to give Control Resonant a review in time for launch. However, I've been loving what I've played so far, which got me thinking about why it's important for Remedy to always stay weird. mirror.co.uk/gaming/love-hat…

Thanks so much for such an amazing launch day! I'm overwhelmed and really really grateful for all the support. It means a ton, Well Dweller has already done so much better than I ever could have expected and I am so thankful for that. (1/2)

Finished Wolverine. The characters are older, the story more mature. Given that, Im not sure why the gameplay treats you like you're 5 years old. In a world where Elden Ring sold 30 million, I'm not sure why so many devs think a game has to hold your hand. If you tell someone to picture a Wolverine game in their head, that game is very very different and more creative than what we ended up getting. It felt like Spiderman-lite, not something new and different built for the Wolverine character. The acting was good, the cutscenes mostly good, I like Liam as Wolverine. I enjoyed the game enough to finish it. But I hope this shifts the future of games a bit, and devs stop treating players like toddlers, and players start expecting more risk from these AAA projects.

Do a lot of research about the Wolverine game. I’ve seen at least 6 viral post within the last 24 hours that were straight up lies about negative stuff of the game. You got conversations of actual criticism being hijacked by engagement warriors trying to feed off likes.

“Yo I just want to let you know you’ll have to leave the tour because you saying ‘end the Holocaust’ has offended the small group of rich and powerful Nazis I’ve spoken to. I am neutral by the way.”
Ed Sheeran reportedly told Macklemore that the words “Free Palestine” and the image of the Palestinian flag “hurt” many of the people he spoke with, adding that he doesn’t “take sides.”
