Polygon posted:

Games are not scored until a review is written and finalized. Once a review is complete, the reviewer meets with a group of senior editors to determine which score on our scale properly reflects the text as written. We do not write with scores in mind.

Polygon's commitment to readers with regards to scores is as follows: You should not be surprised by the score you find at the bottom of the review you read. The score will be a logical afterthought to a well-developed opinion. And in consideration of those readers who don't care for scores, we have left them at the bottom of our reviews.

the most impressive thing about jumping flash is how much it doesn't actually change much about the x68k game it's a sequel to, because there's not actually that much that needs to be fixed since geograph seal got all of the core essentials nailed down from the very beginning lol

it's hosed up though that the jumping flash series' core progression is geograph seal > jumping flash > jumping flash 2 > robbit mon dieu > ghost in the shell

Anyone else excited about the new Umihara Kawase (Fresh) for Switch? Sound like it's going to be more of a Metroidvania-influenced game:

Not much is known about it yet (just teaser art) as they're showing it off at the Tokyo Game Show in a couple weeks. Hopefully Kiyoshi Sakai is still involved.

I like that Nintendo has finally deigned to have decent third part support. Not that I've bought a nindy console since the 3ds, but I'm sure there are some people who play Nintendo consoles only and have never gotten a chance to play all the games not made by Nintendo coming out now.

I would be very surprised if Death Stranding turns out to be a good game. I hope it is, but the more I see about it the worse it looks.

I still lament over the Silent Hill that could have been...

Death Stranding the game will inevitably be a disappointment to many. Death Stranding the social experiment where Hideo Kojima takes $100 million of Sony's money to make Lea Seydoux and Norman Reedus be friends with him has been very successful so far.

The wonderful thing about Warcraft villains is that you can always uncorrupt them if you beat them up enough, usually for some sweet-rear end loot in the process.
