Passage

Alright, you have a point. Maybe it's the press' fault for hyping a 5-minute walking simulator, but the fact that Passage of all things is heralded as the gold standard for art games is outrageous, especially when there are much, much, MUCH better games that elevated the medium before.

In the age of the internet, almost every week something is proclaimed to be the greatest most important work of art ever created, and it's pretty much always embarrassing to read about. I'm sure there's stuff you're very fond of that's been showered with embarrassing praise (for me the first 3 metal gear solid games fit that description), I just try to ignore that stuff. Also sorry if it seemed like addressing you with my comment, I was actually just making a general statement.

I've played a moderate number of "art games" and while occasionally I'll find one that's pretty engaging, most of them are uninteresting to me beyond their surface-level aesthetics. But I can't deny that I've played some that are so on the nose they make my eyes roll and this is one them.
