Every now and then I remember that Mega Man X is platforming perfection

As I was reorganizing myMega Mancollection after a move— which is a perfectly normal thing for a human being to say — I paused a minute when looking at theMega Man Xseries. While the original Blue Bombermade a return to the spotlight in 2018 withMega Man 11, his edgier successor still hasn’t made a comeback in a mainline game. It’s a shame that Capcom hasn’t figured out how to do that yet, but in the meantime, the 1993 original still holds up....

I miss short, linear games

Please, not another fetch quest So there’s been a lot of talk going around aboutDying Light 2supposedly having up to 500 hours worth of content, if not more, and this wasn’t exactly news I was jumping up and down about. Not because of the game itself, necessarily, but the way it plays into the trends of the industry as a whole away from short, linear games. In the past few years, it feels like completion times that clock in at hundreds of hours have become something of a badge of honor, and the discourse surrounding it has seemed to lean toward the idea that the longer a game is, the better....
