Thread: You guys weren't kidding about Ori and the Blind Forest's soundtrack
Yup, absolutely stunning soundtrack to an extremely beautiful game. Cannot wait to see what Will of the Wisps has in store.

Thread: I don't know if I prefer fully-open-world games or kinda-linear-open-world games.
More linear and structured please... The fully open world balance is a really hard thing to get right and often ends up feeling too empty for me. I guess the Zelda games are a good example; I really didn't care for BotW because of how wide open and barren it seemed. I prefer having my games designed with a solid, natural flow of progression and narrative in mind... Doing it that way most likely saves a lot of dev time as well.

Thread: LTTP: The Last Guardian
A real masterpiece and a beautiful experience, one of the strongest examples of games as an artform I've yet seen. This was my GOTY for 2016 by a huge margin, and will stand as one of my all-time favourites. After such a long wait I can't believe it still managed to exceed my expectations. Totally understand the gripes about the controls, though. They definitely could use some fine-tuning and as a result it's not a game for everyone. A real shame that they got in the way of an otherwise stellar achievement.

Thread: Ori and the Will of the Wisps - E3 2018 Trailer
Amazing!! I've been watching the trailer a ton, and it feels like I tear up more every single time haha. So many beautiful little details... The first game meant so much to me honestly, so it's super hard to put into words how amazing Wisps looks. Just when I thought a game could never nail its art style better than Blind Forest! Nothing else on the gaming scene has me this excited right now. 2019 tho...
