Odin Sphere got robbed. They did all the same work as Day of the Tentacle guys did but also improved performance by a million percent oh and it's a loving beautiful game with a godly OST. It's literally the definition of Best Remake!!.

I like most walky/feely games but Limbo never clicked for me and Inside looks like they just made the same exact game. Plus, like most indie games it's all style no substance

Yah exactly. Imo Inside is barely a game, there's no real challenge, you can finish the game in 2 hours, nothing is explained, the feels you get are visceral ones from watching your child character die some heinous way. The whole point of Inside is to post theories around it's ambiguities in the Games forum and to make itself seem more smarter than it is. I feel the same way for the witness but at least that is much more of a game.

Limbo was lame because it was the worst kind of platformer, where you're just constantly instakilled by invisible traps and you have to go through by muscle memory.

i think its a thing where jason is the only person who played it, unfortunately.

slightly funny thing: the one reason they all have about why overwatch is so good is that it hides their stats.

yeah, that's another thing. they still have the original mode in there iirc, but the main draw is the updated new combat system which plays more like Muramasa
