games are the best medium for visiting other places, and babbdi is a visit to a particularly compelling place. came for the brutalism, stayed for the delight of traversal. worth lingering in.
dragged down by stock 'horror' gameplay elements and an uninteresting reveal, but i played this game to see colossal, numinous masses of architecture, inhuman in scale, unknowable in origin or purpose, and you know what. it does have those.
a series of... vignettes feels a bit too concrete? glimpses, i guess, glimpses of other places. windows onto worlds that can't be understood. i liked it a lot.
