I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn’t get submitted and I didn’t have it saved in copy-paste. It’s just so ironically fitting.
So ya, what’s something you’d like to ramble a bit about?
I’ve mentioned this game before recently, but I just finished Gris and am absolutely smitten in a rare way. It’s very short, simple, and relaxed (no fail states), but it’s got probably the most beautiful art direction and score I can remember. That being said, it does also wind up doing some pretty interesting things with its simple mechanics too.
You can finish it in a few hours, but there’s a draw to return again just to sink back into the world, cause… It’s just pleasant there.
I just looked Gris up and even though I tend to avoid platformers, everything else about it really appeals so I will put it on my wishlist and have a think about whether to splash out for my birthday, thank you!
Happy to spread the word! If you do wind up giving it a shot I hope you enjoy it.
