Absolutely brilliant. TUNIC does an immaculate job of making each new discovery feel interesting, especially moments of "wait, this was here the whole time!?" The designer said something along the lines of "this world doesn't care about you, and it exists without you..." and it's the embrace of this design that lets the player uncover mysteries organically, without being railroaded into them. Then, in a game full of surprise after surprise, TUNIC's final puzzle sequences stands as one of the best I can remember experiencing in any game. The game is a visual treat with memorable locations & gorgeous animations, and a feast for the ears with tight sound design partnered with a picture-perfect OST by Lifeformed. TUNIC totally captures the imagination, and if you find yourself thinking about it long after shutting the game off, know that you're in good company! Highly recommended!

The total package. TFH is the most fully-featured fighting game I've played in ages, including wonderful matchmaking that allows you to easily play with people across the continent with no major issues. Even more impressive that such a polished game came out of such a small studio, it's really a testament to the team's understanding of what makes fighting games interesting and fun.

There is little I could say that hasn't already been said.

Outer Wilds is a masterclass in game design, and there is no doubt that history will be kind to it. Future gaming archaeologists will pick apart its carefully interconnected threads and pore over the myriad ways it captured our curiosity.

To you, dear reader, I suggest you get while the getting's good. Go on now, while its universe of ideas is fresh, charming, and new.

I don't imagine this state of affairs can last forever. Nothing can.
