God of War (2018)

As part of our new series of patron-supported Critical Compilations, today we tackle 2018’s God of War, brought together by Alon Lessel. Alon is a game critic, musician and Trotskyist from Israel. You can follow him on Twitter and Youtube.

A “well refined, polished, awesome game”, God of War is not “angry for the sake of being angry”. It doesn’t “forget about the plot and forget about the characters”.

These are all quotes from a review of God of War, but not the 2018 critical and commercial hit; they are taken from a 2005 video review

    Assassin’s Creed III

    Critical Distance is proud to present this Critical Compilation of Ubisoft’s Assassin Creed III, curated by Gilles Roy. A history scholar with game design training at Montreal’s INIS, Gilles is also co-editor at Play the Past. You can follow him on Twitter @gillesroy.

    In releasing the remastered edition of Assassin’s Creed III (AC3) in March 2019, interactive entertainment giant Ubisoft also delisted the original installment of the game from digital distribution platforms and services such as Steam and Uplay.

    Perhaps it made commercial sense for Ubisoft to do this; such a move also prevented new players from

(It turns out that, when you have an infinite number of llamas, they cheat on/with each other in an eye-opening range of geometries.) (I’m not even sure if David’s being serious here or not… – Ed.)

    Many thanks to those of you who sent in links: I was quite nervous about this going in, but I ended discarding another dozen articles that I could have easily included. As a reminder, you can contact us via email or Twitter. A happy 2012 to you all!

      Chris Franklin suggests Fortnite’s design directs players more toward social or casual rather than competitive play – a design system that has merits until you consider the cynical capitalising of social pressures that accompanies it. I particularly like the deliberate and

My goal in creating a jam of this type was to capture the social and collaborative opportunities offered to developers by game jams to writers, and also to follow in the footsteps of Llaura Dreamfeel’s Flatgame Annual, where the jam is based around a set form to experiment with rather than a theme to answer to.

    If you are inspired to create your own visual essays, or even organize a visual essay jam of your own, I would love to hear about the results. Get in touch through twitter – @netgal_emi

    Also brilliant this week was Cara Ellison’s discussion of Christine Love’s ‘Don’t Take It Personally, Babe’ and ‘Being Single in Public’ for the Unwinnable blog:

    Playing Don’t Take It Personally, Babe when you’re single, and have been for a while, is an alienating experience. It’s a wonderful shorthand of the messages that are going on…
