Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy.

Duskpunk absolutely rules. A Citizen Sleeper-like that stands on its own merit. Filled with choice and tense dice rolls. Do not sleep on this one!

Duskpunk Review - Revolutions and Dice Rolls | Console Creatures
Duskpunk is excellent, a dark and dirty story of revolution, choice, and ultimately, hope, if you so choose. It's a fantastic Citizen Sleeper-like that stands on its own merits.

I played just over 3 hours of Trails Beyond the Horizon, with a lot of that being Kevin’s route. So here’s a bit on the series’ MVP coming back, a dinstincly older feeling Rean, and how Horizon is already feeling like a turning point

I really liked MP4 at first. The first half is fantastic, then the back half drops off a cliff. Sol Valley isn't great. Check out the review!

Finally, The Kotaku Review for Hundred Line. I spent much of it reflecting on how its incredible ambition makes it nearly impossible to recommend without caveats. But it's one of the most important games of 2025, and a testament to the power of making something for yourself without compromise.
