Oh. I thought Heart of the Swarm would be the same. My mistake then.

Another GOTY Puzzle game released:
Ooh, gonna have to wishlist this, hope it can grip like Paint It Back did, other picross games have left something to be desired for me.

That's news to me. I just found that out today. It was nice of Blizzard to do that.
Jim Sterling gives Hellblade a 1/10 because he ran into a bug that impeded his progress. Instead of giving a heads up to a likely unaware developer, he eviscerates the game, that he was enjoying, with a terrible score.
Total Biscuit eviscerates the game for a mechanic that doesn't even exist.
Thanks Britain for bestowing these quality, thoughtful individuals on us.

Sonic Mania has an offline versus mode, based on the one from Sonic 2 and 3

The video merely showcases the mode btw.

Anything regarding online versus?

So the Permadeath mechanic was not so bad after all. I might get the game during the holidays, hopefully with a discount.

Non atm sadly, but they could add it in a future update :X
Otherwise there is the traditional leaderboards.

Damn. That sucks. Online versus in a classic Sonic game sounds awesome.

Is there "Sexual Content"?
Another GOTY Puzzle game released:
We will never have enough "picross" games.

Indeed we are
Very close to that now.
That's cool. I personally hope to see a nice discount for Tales of Berseria.
It's things like this that make me not care about reviews. Review the game, not the bugs that person personally encountered. The worst part is, as you said, Jim enjoyed it up till then. He could have put up impressions and say that one day he'll maybe review it once that bug is fixed, but attaching a score to it feels disingenuous.
Edit:
Ah, that's more like it.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I don't see why individual reviews are such a big deal? I feel like you guys are just making it a big deal by constantly talking about them.
The game looks good.
The game is something I'd be interested in.
Checked open critic + steam reviews + meta to get an initial idea of what to expect.
All good? Buying and playing it. Who cares what a couple of 'reviewers' thought?

Because they are reviewers that can influence the viewer
You check Meta+OC scores so you care what a couple of reviewers think.

Sometimes, I would ragequit after encountering a difficulty spike or a bug in a game (Kero Blaster, I'm looking at you). Knowing that it happened to a reviewer and he was so mad that he rated it 1/10 is a valuable piece of information. It does not mean people should not buy the game.
They're not traditional reviewers, they're youtube personalities with millions of followers/subscribers who trust their opinions.
Not really, I probably didn't explain it too well in my original post - I just read opencritic to see what they liked about it and why. Actually, by the time I read reviews I've already decided to buy the game or not.
I'll probably get a lot of hate for this, but reviewers in my opinion isn't even a thing for games or movies - there is absolutely no way a review isn't biased. The whole point of a review is to give your personal views about what you thought of the game or movie, and there itself I feel the whole concept falls flat. It's not like a rating system for software or hardware - where there's a clear set of criteria they must fulfil to get a certain rating.
I've just never really cared about game reviews - but at the same time I like to see what people enjoyed didn't enjoy - but not in the review sense. Confusing I know. Hard to explain.
And yep, youtubers/twitch personalities etc are well...we could go on for ages. They have their pros and cons.
From what I understand the game auto-saved moments after he passed a torch that he was supposed to light (but didn't). That was the only save file and he couldn't progress the game further, so the save was essentially broken and all his progress up to that point lost.
That's kind of a big deal.
Anyway, he's since walked the score back and changed the Metacritic to Review In Progress. So I guess we'll see what happens.
Nice.

That Dark Elf steam icon....Jesus
Owlboy seems really good. Guess that's easier to say now when we (well I for sure) got it in some random bundle instead of paying 25 for it or whatever silly price it was at launch.
I remember people being a little disapointed with it in the following weeks after launch, was it mostly the lenght (I know its on the short side, around 6 hours or so?) or was there something else "wrong" with it?
So far everything is pretty great, I just left the first village. The art is absolutely fantastic.

That's actually what inspired me to make the gif, I clicked onto Steam and that was the first thing I saw.

KT normally doesn't announce PC versions until they announce localization plans, IIRC.

Apparently mostly because a lot of people on my Steam's friend list recommends them and tags for simulation, indie, and anime, going by what it says.

Art style! Art style! Can't criticize me! Art style!
Did we get a localization announcement?
Making a gif out of the recommendation section is actually an amusing idea.
Interestingly enough I play a shitton of animu games and yet my recommendations are far 'cleaner', lol.

He's the worst worst not named Total Biscuit, yeah, for sure. No arguments there.
But if we're including worsts that are named Total Biscuit, I have to say that the worst goes to Total Biscuit, who is, indeed, the absolute fucking worst.

I don't think I've ever seen a single Total Biscuit video. But I don't like biscuits in general, so I'm inclined to agree with you.
I'm kinda ambivalent towards Jim. On the one hand makes some good points occasionally, on the other hand I heavily disagree with some of his opinions, especially on curation.
I don't really care much either way and only learn about his videos if I glance at a Gaf thread about them, so...
Don't like TotalBiscuit much either.
