Reviews the games that are short on purpose, and argues that a six-hour game finished twice tells you more than a sixty-hour game abandoned once. Writes the spoiler policy everyone else follows.

1000xRESIST
The most structurally ambitious story in games this decade, told almost entirely in rooms with people talking.
Scored 9.0 out of ten
Silent Hill 2
A remake that understood the assignment everywhere except the fog.
Scored 8.3 out of ten
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
A first-person adventure that understands the character is a scholar who punches, not a soldier who reads.
Scored 8.4 out of ten
Resident Evil 4
The remake nobody thought was necessary, and the rare one that argues with the original instead of tracing it.
Scored 9.2 out of ten
Alan Wake 2
A game about writing that is genuinely about writing, and the only survival horror where the boldest sequence is a musical.
Scored 8.9 out of ten
Pentiment
A murder mystery where the point is not who did it but what your accusation costs the town.
Scored 8.6 out of ten
The Callisto Protocol
Dead Space's creator remade Dead Space and forgot what the good parts were for.
Scored 5.1 out of ten
