LEGO games shrink down the joyful act of collage, making it a simple matter of pressing the remote to rewind your program to an "ideal", initial state.

Kids deserve better.

Indigent as an immersive sim and shallow as an artistical proposition. The faux-transhumanist mirror this industry deserves.

Inoffensive.

Surprisingly modern.

A pure product of its time : pristine and never alienating.

Tunnel-vision serves Crytek right ; it's not quite Nine Inch Nails levels of rocking but it's already miles better than a reenactment of Vietnam in exosuit.

A game this unstable in its movement - from one clone to another, from one gravitational field to the next - does not easily lends itself to any kind of resolution.

This is both The Swapper's greatest quality and failure :
Cosmic existentialism constantly at war with its paper mache beauty.

Fake musings on absent themes with no regard for the virtual bodies it renders.

A graveyard of epic proportions. Lovely.

Real fantasy.

A case for the eradication of art students around the world.

The only game about a square-shaped boy I can tolerate.

One of the best sprinting animations in the history of videogames.

Checkerboard intrigue rendered in maximalist landscapes ; the political endgame of videogames.

Not afraid of spilling blood all over the screen and let it stick for a while. Boldly basic.
