There are some IMMENSELY BEAUTIFUL games out there right now. Seriously… some of the most incredible and emotionally moving art I’ve ever enjoyed is available for such a good price it’s basically free. A short appreciation thread. (Recommendations inspired by the contents of this thread are very welcome) 🧵❤️
I am currently enjoying Gris. In which we are an emotionally fragile person who is slightly lost, exploring a slightly broken, weird and entirely beautiful world. It’s PACKED with mental health metaphor along the themes of solidarity and reaching out for community & support. But… not a single word of dialogue has been uttered so if that’s not your thing you can just sit back and enjoy the escapism of a wondrous world.
@herdingdata I abandoned it very quickly when I tried it on Game Pass a few months ago, but you're making me think I should give it another chance 🤔
@dalelane you definitely should! They have really thought a lot about the mechanics. There are a good few hints about how to solve the various puzzles as symbolism in the surrounding scenery. It’s a masterpiece in digital navigation/ signposting: the world seems to be endless in every direction but we are never far from what we need to move foward. The feeling of being a little lost is really well done.
