Shadow dropped Scalebound. PS5 exclusive.
STALKER was "bad" when it released and it's still "bad" now. It was a finished game that released on an unfinished engine and had that "home-made mod" feel all throughout.
However, it implemented a ton of great ideas cohesively enough that it stayed afloat by virtue of it's own merits at a time when the single-player FPS market was aggressively cutthroat. I played a portion of the game again recently and still found it refreshing and unique.
If you liked STALKER back then, you'll still like it now. I recommend you give it another spin when you get the chance.
I thought the show was pretty good. There was alot of stuff in there I'd like to try. Slight of hand looks like a retelling of Lamplighters League surprisingly. The Alters is trippy. What an unusual concept. Creatures of Ava is Xbox's Pokemon Snap which I'm surprised we haven't seen more of. I like the art direction of The First Berserker even though I'm not a Soulslike player. I've already pre-ordered Tales of Kenzera. And I still don't know what to make of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, but it'll be on Gamepass so I will at least try it.
Like I said all in all, I enjoyed the show and found alot to like.

Couple of cool looking games but for sure a good idea to not have overhyped this show.
I must be getting old. Nothing shown appealed to me. Well Sinking City kinda did along with Stalker. If this was shown earlier or later in the evening I would've fallen asleep.
That's how I feel about 95% of games now. The money I save in games these days allows me to put it towards new TVs, soundbars and PC stuff.
Kunitsu just looks looks a mess.
The Alters looked interesting and that Tales of Kenzera looks like a Prince of Persia mixed with Ori hybrid.
But this show was an indy show. People can argue all they want, but people don't give a crap about this stuff. If they called it an Indy showcase I wouldn't have watched, but they didn't.
