This is slightly outside the bounds of what you asked for, but I think you might appreciate Vermis.
It’s an art book/game guide for a dark fantasy action adventure game, except the game doesn’t actually exists. The whole thing is entirely fake — basically all of the world building of a video game but without the actual game. The art is fantastic and there’s really nothing else quite like it.
I think originally it was only available in paperback, but a hardcover edition is available now as well for more of that “coffee table book” vibe.
I’ve heard that there’s a huge market for Hidden Object games. Like, double-digit percentage of the market.
Often the “mainstream, hardcore soulslike” gamer section of the market that’s targeted for discussion only ends up being a part of it. Most people who have a family member with a PlayStation are more likely to have a row of the latest sports games than anything else popular.
Platform probably matters here. On mobile and lower-spec PCs, hidden object and puzzle titles dominate. If we split by platform, what would your top three look like?
Maybe reason isn’t the right word. Was just trying to mention it due to this:
However, some found the developer’s explanation unconvincing, questioning how the studio’s Co-Founder could be unaware that the game hadn’t been indexed for nearly a year and reading the apology less like “I’m sorry” and more like “I’m sorry I got caught.” With both interpretations equally plausible – and equally impossible to prove – it’s up to everyone to decide for themselves whether Wrong Organ deserves the benefit of the doubt.
I’ve unfortunately had bits and pieces spoiled for me online with all the discourse about the game’s ending online (and the TV show’s launch helped kicked it back up a little too I think). But I am still excited to get to it. Games like this are my favorite so I’m excited
Personally, I don’t care about TLOU, but I don’t think you should be leading with a massive spoiler as the thumbnail. Others might give you a lot of shit for that.
Yeah, I hadn’t even considered it with how prevalent it felt like his death was online when the game launched. I figured just everyone knew and it hadn’t really clicked “hey. This is still a massive spoiler”. It’s on me for not thinking that through
Maybe I’m the problem for clicking on a post about a game I haven’t played yet, but also maybe if you include a major spoiler as your second sentence, your first sentence should mention the incoming spoiler.
Yeah. That’s my bad. It was late and I wasn’t thinking and with how it felt like everyone online was talking about his death i figured everyone down the line now would know. That really is on me. My bad
I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to spoil it for you like that. I thought everyone knew with how prevalent it’s been online. It’s still definitely worth the experience I’d say though
They’re all cool if you’re into the games or whatever they cover, imo. Having books on stuff that you’re not familiar with feels weird, imo. Google Books covering your favourite games and stuff and I’m sure you’ll find plenty. But if you don’t care about that and just want cool gamer stuff to put on the coffee table, The Game Console 2.0: A Photographic History from Atari to Xbox might be one of those. There’s a LOTR illustrated edition. There’s a tomb raider cookbook and travel guide. World of warcraft also has tons of cool art and a cookbook. There’s God of war lore and legends. There’s The Art of Video Games from pacman to mass effect, etc. And for more, there’s This site.
