  • From GenX onwards they’re all marketing terms.

    Normally generations were only distinguished after some kind of geo political event, like first world war, or when the birth rate was exceptionally high.

    Now we pre-name generations so marketing teams can segment people into target groups.












  • Remnant From the Ashes: They call it a Souls-like with guns, I’m not sure I totally agree, but there are similarities with the checkpoints and NG+ mechanic. It’s a shortish game. Plays well in coop, and is made tomplay through a few times as levels are procedurally generated. The second game is out now, but there are still players on this.

    Astral Ascent: Kind of a rogue-like action platformer, the game seems straightforward at the beginning but as you try new runs and unlock more skills there is a very deep build and progression system where you can get super powerful and the screen goes wacky. Also the music and atmosphere is top notch. Oh it’s only just been released, but it has been in early access for +6 months, so sorry, not sorry.
