"To me, it’s more and more obvious that Fire Emblem wants to be two different videogames in one. On the one hand, honoring its tradition, a tactical role-playing game, and on the other hand, appealing to a newer audience, a visual novel with dating sim elements. It could be both, sure, but as it stands, it doesn’t succeed as any."

"This blatant assumption of distance, these loud maneuvers of seduction, and the game dynamics that emerge as a result prove how desperate Life is Strange 2 is to reach a target audience that has little in common with these two Latinx kids."

"In this videogame, you don’t use social media as we know it, but the philosophy behind it—hyper-vigilance, centralization, inescapable corporate ownership and control of user-generated content—is the basis of this world. Hypnospace might look like the past, but it speaks like the present."

"Polly Pocket has always been about evoking a dimensionality other dollhouses couldn’t have. They were the size and form of a makeup kit, and when you opened them, one half would be perpendicular to the other, thus conveying horizontality and verticality simultaneously."

"As advocacy journalism turned into fiction, it lacks earnest execution, while as a personal/universal narrative, it lacks a heart. Bury Me, My Love isn’t exploitative, but is for sure a palatable gamification of a conflict that doesn’t want to confront me."

"Now, there's a quantifiable result that regulates the production process and makes it explicit. This is the suffocating reality influencers live, faithfully replicated by a site whose main purpose is monetizing girls' attention."

"Pelear no significa pelear. Pelear es una mecánica fundamental para la exploración; es el machete usado para abrirse paso por la selva y no para matar. Por eso toda pelea comienza con una descripción de la criatura —un descubrimiento— y termina, si es que empieza, con una muerte súbita que resignifica el entorno."

"Papers, Please presents an avatar that, despite being locked in a booth all the time, enjoys an overwhelming freedom: he is the one who ultimately chooses the fate of hundreds of people and the cornerstone of the resulting state at the end of the game, whether he, from his cubicle, decides to start the revolution or not."

"The philosophy of Monzetsu Fighter is clear: sex is an exchange of pleasure as much as it is an exchange of power. And I can tell this without knowing a single word of Japanese—the system is clear enough in this regard, and it isn’t hard to get its rules at all."

"At this point, deconstructing the general perception of alternative games as deciduous products is pretty urgent, no matter how unconsciously we lean towards this idea. I'm sick of production values—and all kinds of capital for that matter—determining the discursive relevance or depth we attribute to these works."

"Facing the past implies confronting a delusive sense of familiarity; the otherness of our own memory. Turning back is scary, whether it means being ambushed by a monster or revisiting the games we used to love back in the day."

"There's not a single element in Helter Skelter whose visual deployment overlaps Liliko's, cause she is the face of the product and the rest is mere accessory. It almost feels like this comic was made vertically on purpose so Liliko's figure wouldn't get wasted."
