Video game trivia: the Ouya controller is the only game controller that has an A button but doesn't have a B button. https://t.co/1EOoIgnD10
There are a few really surprising omissions. Games that felt so quintessentially Xbox that you'd think they'd be the first games made BC.
FEZ, Dead Rising, Dead or Alive 4
A few games with native Xbox One versions that didn't make their 360 versions BC which is a biiiiiiiiit shit, but eh. Not a big deal. Notably: Batman Arkham games, Dark Souls II.
and i swear to god if someone posts one more opinion that gets this response...
Gaplus (2020). Can't say it's necessarily a step up from Galaxian and Galaga, but the way that it evolved the series' famous power-ups is clever and a lot more player-friendly / less oblique. Movement patterns are still top-notch.
Remnant: From the Ashes. Loved it. Shooting feels incredible. Difficulty is really well balanced. Boss fights are memorable.
My only reservation is that I'm not sure the proc-gen brings much to the table. Would probably be a touch better with hand crafted levels. Small quibble.
But for anyone who enjoyed Outer Wilds' brand of use-your-own-IRL-brain galaxy-spanning mysteries, Heaven's Vault is a great follow up.
Soundtrack is magnificent too; and it should go without saying -- writing is top-notch (and there's SO MUCH of it -- it's the 80 Days team).
Plugging my favorite album again. The Theory of Everything by Ayreon is a concept album / prog rock opera (different singers play each character) about a battle between geniuses. Medicine awakens a genius from a borderline comatose state but with troubling ethical implications
Did we ever find out how Façade worked back in 2005 or are we okay with just ignoring and moving past literal witchcraft?
