I know I'm super late to the party here, but I just started Deltarune Chapter 2, and the Cyber World theme sounds like the breakdown in Pon Pon Wei and Polyrhythm by Perfume got smushed together into something new... @tobyfox.undertale.com, you are a genius www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbiS...

The reviews are starting to come in! Our first 9 out of 10! 🧅💥 "...when the narrative dots connect, there are few games as delightfully funny and poignant as this."

Death Stranding 2 is an unforgettable odyssey across Australia and a meticulously polished open-world game. Crucially, better onboarding and combat make for a confident sequel to a divisive game. Here's my review for @postmode.bsky.social postmode.org/death-strand...

Here's my review of @remedygames.com's new session-based shooter, FBC Firebreak. Love shouting at my mates to get in the shower because they stink (see: are running low on health, and may turn into a sticky note monster). For @postmode.bsky.social postmode.org/fbc-firebrea...

Cool to see this Kojima quote (from the EDGE interview) confirm the East India Company connection in Death Stranding 2. I made a note of it on Postmode when the last trailer dropped, based on the APAC logo covering Sam’s cargo. postmode.org/death-strand...

If you search Postmode on Google… you get Postmode.org! I know that sounds ridiculous to highlight, but I’m still proud of how my little independent games media venture has grown.Thank you to anyone who has read an article or watched a video so far <3 Support the site: www.patreon.com/Postmode

Got my first kickback from Postmode’s YouTube channel today too. Incredibly modest & not something I can rely on, but feels more vital than ever. Budgets are in a real bad spot rn. So, LMK if anyone needs a good copy/script/edits guy!

Listicles for those with atrophying attention span? You can find it all at @postmode.bsky.social! Also, does anyone have a good catch-all name for this phenomenon? Best I can do is L.A.G (Low Attention Games)... postmode.org/the-best-pod...

I reviewed Doom: The Dark Ages for @postmode.bsky.social. It's a mixed bag! 'Stand and Fight' ripping and tearing is still reliable fun, but I was expecting more intensity and challenge as the game wore on. Beyond that, there's too much focus on a forgettable narrative. postmode.org/doom-the-dar...

I’ve spent the last year trying to grow the Postmode YouTube channel to 1k subscribers & we’re so close! I would really appreciate it if you could help get us over the finish line towards monetisation. Mainly so I can justify committing to video essays & special projects! youtube.com/@postmodeorg...

feels like everyone is talking about cow but nobody cares about the real star of the show in mario kart world — the adorable penguin we all threw off a cliff in cool cool mountain and then forgot about for nearly thirty years

The number of the beast! www.youtube.com/@postmodeorg...

We just broke a million views on YouTube! Please subscribe and help us get to that elusive 1k milestone… youtube.com/@postmodeorg

BLUE PRINCE… BLUEPRINTS… haha. Nice one. (I only figured this out after 20+ hours of playtime)

To join the extremely loud chorus - yes, everyone needs to play Blue Prince. It's nothing short of incredible. Great job @dogubomb.bsky.social! postmode.org/blue-prince-...

We're thinking of starting a Postmode sticker club when we get enough patrons... here's a little concept we put together! www.patreon.com/c/postmode (3D models by @sarahathwaites.bsky.social!)

I wrote up everything we know so far about The Duskbloods, and speculated about what From Software's PvPvE multiplayer experiment might look like in practice... postmode.org/the-duskbloo...

Pretty happy with how postmode.org is looking these days! Just don't ask me how long it took to get the drop shadow working on the carousel titles... (@postmode.bsky.social)

I played through Chapter 1 of ENA Dream BBQ and wrote it up for @postmode.bsky.social. Easily the coolest game I've played this year, and I wasn't familiar with ENA prior. Now I'm obsessed! It's free-to-play on Steam, so go check it out. postmode.org/ena-dream-bb...

Beyond Infinite Wealth, the other game everyone slept on this year was @cyanworlds.bsky.social’s remake of Riven. Both a gorgeous and singular puzzle box for newbies & a deeply thoughtful remake for the nostalgic set. Here’s thousands of words on why you need to play it: postmode.org/demystifying...

As a fan of the series, I loved my time with Stalker 2. It's enormous, incredibly ambitious, and a worthy successor to SoC/CoP. The review build was choppy, but today's update (which fixed over 1000 bugs) is much smoother. Don't sleep on it. A masterpiece of atmosphere. www.nme.com/reviews/game...
