Every Team ICO being on here is so iconic

Just played through Sekiro again. Its genius is in being so difficult that it becomes endlessly replayable if you suck as bad as I do 😊

Another "The Last Guardian" defender! There are dozens of us!

Team ico really was decades ahead of the industry

the beginners guide genuinely changed my brain chemistry. both of the wreden brothers are insanely talented

i love fumito games!

It's the hardest game of all time, because it immediately invites you to analyze the person who would make it, which is of course the antithesis of the entire game.

Og Re4 is better than the remake imo

Anatomy love is so real the house is eating good tonight

Ico has one of my favorite OSTs and to this day I have not played it Also I know it's not the point but you should give Look Outside a try, could be up your alley :>

Oh man, I heard you talk about Anatomy on MinnMax a while back and wasn't sure I was in the right headspace for it. Seeing it nestled up there with 8 of my own absolute favorites has got me convinced I need to play it sooner rather than later.

holy shit ANATOMY you're such a real one

A little late to this, but glad to see The Last Guardian on that list Jacob. For me it's Ueda's Magnum opus at least in terms of themes and executing a perfect blend of narrative and gameplay. And somehow it's the most underrated of his work. Can't wait for "Project Robot".

Sekiro is like, the perfect game

I'm hell-yeahing harder!!! I cried on-stream when I first played it, absolutely ages ago, lol. I still have a hard time not getting completely taken in on subsequent playthroughs, it still hits (maybe more) even if you know the "twist"

Im part of a never ending steam discussion started by a guy that hated the beginner's guide with people arguing whether or not it is art (i believe it is) and it gets updates every year at least.

I for one appreciate the Ued(i)a-gonal

Dude if you like RE4 you should totally check out this guy on YouTube jacob geller, he talks about that game like a ton

okay, adding the beginners guide to my wishlist, got it

You joining me in the Kitty HorrorShow Evangelism is still one of my happiest moments as a fan

#my9games always fun to make lists!

Last Guardian is so good. Somehow underrated imo

These exercises, while fun, do little to explain the giant shoulders these games stand on… or how we even got to the genres on display or what influenced their design and narrative. They are fun little mosaics that kind of feel like the gamer equivalent of an astrology sign.

all three Team Ico games

the beginner's guide is so good and underrated I wrote an entire bachelor's thesis about it (ok it wasn't _entirely_ about it)

It's always hard for me to choose between Sekiro and Furi, they scratch a similar itch for me. Sifu tops both in my opinion tho

I’m normal about The Beginner’s Guide. It’s not like I have 13 hours in it or anything. It’s a game that I’m very very normal about

I've heard of all of them, but ironically The Beginner's Guide is the only one I've played. It's a very hard one to talk about, to such a point that I'm not sure I could talk about it with someone who hadn't played it, but I can't be sure about recommending it, since it could be misinterpreted.
