I don't normally play puzzle games, but when I do I disappoint myself: 1. I tend to repeat the same strategy over and over again expecting a different result. 2. I forget how movement works. 3. I think about how this applies to my life... do I always go left till someone tells me to go right? Then someone else tells me to go left... Is my life all about going the direction others want me to go? 4. Remembering I can jump. 5. Forgetting how to jump. 5. Wondering about custom workshop stuff. 7. I skipped six. 8. I solve one problem in life, go through an exit door, enter a new problem where I fail 1000s of times before exiting to a new problem. 9. My reflex's are terrible. 10. There's 16 levels and I'm on 3 or 4... I disappoint myself. 7/10 will keep playing Indirection.

Its a pretty clever platformer and I really like its mechanics and snark. Even if I do think some of the puzzle elements need to be communicated better.

Immersive platform/puzzle game with a captivating world, unique concept, and an experience unlike any other game like it. After getting use to the concept of only being able to go one direction, I feel like this game rewards the dedicated player by slowly introducing mechanics that slowly build off of one another and by the end you're skillful maneuvering through the level without a second thought. Some levels can be quite challenging and frustrating but I think this adds to rewarding feeling the player gets when they finally overcome this fun, indie game. Would definitely recommend this to people who like challenges and unique platforming game design

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
