Made of Ghosts

Variable water levels! That was the main thing I wanted. Still holding out for individual water blocks though. I can see snake blocks and those on/off blocks leading to some hideously complicated puzzle levels.

I'm gonna go ahead and say levelling in anything, ever. It's fake progress.

I don’t know if I would call it brilliant personally but it was genuinely unexpected and that counts for a lot. It’s rare that a game really surprises me but I definitely didn’t see it coming.

Mario Odyssey is a definite contender for me. It still baffles me that people don’t seem bothered by the flaws of that game. At risk of turning this into “popular games I don’t like” (which it basically already is): Inside.

I mean “metroidvania” might not be trademarked but “Metroid” surely is? You couldn’t make a game called “Mariozelda” and act like it’s a completely new term.

Funny how you never get a different game winning, say, PS4 game of the year because it’s “the most PS4”

What are we saying now? I don’t feel like “of colour” has completely caught on in this country.

I could see it being a nonwhite man next.

Sentences I never thought I’d say, but: that shot of Sally Hawkins wanking is totally necessary. It’s like “hey this may be a fancy pants fairytale world but sex is still a thing”

I hear all of the other Time Lords used to laugh and call him names

I enjoyed the bonkersness but it was a very messy episode. It makes NO sense that Swedish guy would set up an elaborate monster mystery just to keep his daughter in the house while he's hanging with deadwife, and the entire moth universe could've been got rid of with almost no plot repercussions. We only get to the core of the story once Bradley meets Grace and the episode's more than half done at that point - the rest has to be done in a massive rush with Jodie pretty much non-stop explaining everything as it's happening. And if you're going to do wacky for the sake of wacky, at least don't have the characters explicitly point out the wackiness.

The historicals have been the only decent episodes in this series if you ask me.

That thing where music videos (it's almost always dance music for some reason) can't come up with good ideas so they just decide to chuck in as much lol-random stuff as possible in hopes of going viral. See: this page.
