Less interested in reviews, more in critique, game studies and game design theory and practice.

Long gone are the times when I was a Nintendo Ambassador and I could buy a limited 3DS 😭 Nintendo, I still love you.08 Apr 2025 17:32 +0000at://did:plc:cgiiaaerpfki2absln2znei3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmcyxopqw22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/kurainisei.bsky.social/post/3lm7o6kastk2lAnd the thing which still bother me the most about Switch 2 is the HORRIBLE design of the game boxes. Maybe it’s just another push towards going full digital.07 Apr 2025 09:41 +0000at://did:plc:cgiiaaerpfki2absln2znei3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lm7o6kastk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/kurainisei.bsky.social/post/3lk7b7svebs24Today I played a bit of the newly released Expelled! By @inkle.co and wow. It is an excellent game, full of humor, wit and great moments. It’s an excellent story about women and troubling times. Do yourself a favor, it’s so worth it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2963890/Expelled/12 Mar 2025 18:58 +0000at://did:plc:cgiiaaerpfki2absln2znei3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk7b7svebs24https://bsky.app/profile/kurainisei.bsky.social/post/3le2clbihhs2jThere are two kinds of people: those who think Tokyo Godfathers is the bes Xmas movie and those who haven’t watched it yet.

I think it unnecessarily raises stress and takes away from the pleasure of exploration and finding hidden places. Both Metroid and Castlevania were great at keeping a bit of challenge without being brutal.03 Oct 2023 07:09 +0000at://did:plc:cgiiaaerpfki2absln2znei3/app.bsky.feed.post/3katecwear52dhttps://bsky.app/profile/kurainisei.bsky.social/post/3k7dvzmxvzf24Thinking of all the game which won’t be preserved and will just disappear thanks to Unity stunt.
