and it was easily the most exciting and interesting and amazing experience i have had in gaming since i played outer wilds. which, let me be clear, is i think the highest praise i could possibly give.
if anyone else can see the throughline between those two games could give me some more recommendations i would really appreciate it! i’m thinking along the lines of “games that strongly reaffirm your belief that video games are art”
I appreciate the thorough write up and feel bad now that I’m probably not gonna play these lol. It sounds a lot like the kind of art that I categorize broadly as thing I admire and respect from a distance and value those that love it, but will never, ever experience personally for one reason or another. Is there a better way to describe that?
I’m the kind of person who bounces hard off discomfort in my comfort spaces, and games are one of those comfort spaces. Not that everything I play needs to be easy or perfect, but if a game asks more from me than I’m willing to dedicate casually, I’ll probably end up turning it off. It’s very fun to see others get excited about their complex things, though, so thank you for sharing.
