This article celebrates the resurgence of retro-style games in a world dominated by modern advancements. The author argues that while modern graphics and features can be impressive, there's something special about the simplicity and charm of classic games.
Modern technical advancements in gaming can feel a bit… underwhelming at times. Ray tracing only seems to exist so I can briefly admire an FPS-tanking reflection or puddle I would have otherwise walked straight past. Chromatic aberration is mostly there to be turned off. My once-spacious SSDs are quickly clogged up by multi-gig patches that either add something I'll never find the time to see or fix a problem I didn't know existed.
Taizo's back and this time he's brought his arguably more famous son, Susumu , as well as a selection of family and friends along for the ride. If I can imagine it, Thief will probably let me try it.

I eagerly downloaded this on launch day because I loved the thought of having a flimsy excuse to play through the wonderful Portrait of Ruin one more time, and then stayed for what was billed as pretty much some neat little bonus: a completely reworked version of the series' pariah, Haunted Castle. Skald's an eldritch horror themed RPG that looks a lot like a recently unearthed Commodore 64 adventure, with an interesting battle system that encourages thoughtful positioning and making tactical use of a heavily customised party. The best thing here though, apart from everyone being driven mad by incomprehensible horrors and the presence of grisly sacks of flesh that defy all logic, is the amount of narrative choice on offer.
