20 of 20 · most liked firstI just finished playing "The Forest Quartet". What a nice surprise. It is a one-and-a-half-hour indie game where a jazz band decides to make a farewell concert in homage to their singer who recently passed away. A tale about art, mental health, and grieving. Yes. Videogames can be art.

unlabelledView post →I think it's a false dichotomy. There are so many other aspects to games than just those two, and how much each part is valued is dependent on the player. One eg for me is The Forest Quartet. The game is beautiful, but gameplay is a bit simplistic. The compelling story is what carries it to a 9/10.
