BeefJack rounds up its top three most creative, innovative or imaginative games of 2010.
Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look at 7 video games where dying doesn't mean the end, as the story and world simply continue on without you.
We present a list of horror games with depressing endings, each known for its unique experience and storytelling.
Plenty of games have made a name for themselves as being proud of the fact they’re not to everyone’s taste over the years.
I mean I can do without nintendo games if given the choice. They are not nearly as mature rated as the average.
Yeah but I use my Switch OLED primarily for anime booba style games (visual novels and JRPG's) and ultra violent FPS's. Far from kid friendly, lol
The problem with that line of though is that games have never been as much "for everyone" as in 2025.
The only thing that's not for everyone in gaming lately is the gatekeeping. Devs will try to appeal to as many people as they can, but if you dare have your own tastes and prefer something a bit more obscure, then you have "L takes" because at the moment, popular opinion equals right opinion.
So devs should simply own the fact they water down their games and go Hollywood to please everybody. Then indies will go back to being trendsetters that are different from AAAs, instead of being roguelike and gacha copycats.
Okay, but "games I'm not meant to love" means I won't play them.
Games are for fun. They're their own art, it's a disservice to reduce them to interactive stories. You can focus on making your audience entertained on a positive way and still stand out.
No game is for everyone. Some games are more mainstream or casual friendly but there is always someone who won’t like it. Same with anything else
Deadly Premonition is really interesting detective sim that unfortunately believes its action sections are fun. Shame it didn't go all adventure game. Still hilarious though and one of the better games this year.
The second York started talking about Tom and Jerry and co-dependence, I knew he was one of my favorite game characters ever.
York was my favorite part of Deadly Premonition. One of the parts of the game that stand out as not so-bad-its-good, but just plain good. Very cool idea that the player actually takes the role of his split personality, Zach.
Agree with everything this article says about Heavy Rain.
I also wanna say "The Ball" should be a runner-up. Your only weapon is a giant stone ball, it takes the idea and -sorry- rolls with it. The result is something like Katamari Goes to Hell.
