I have a box full of the collector’s edition joysticks from a decade and a half ago when I found out how great the series was on PS2 and graduated to the Xbox 360 version.

“Perhaps I was always meant to be a great improvisational artist.” But there is no time to pause and admire your work, for you must knuckle on and create another.Īpe Out is $15 on the Nintendo Switch, and various stores for Windows, like itch.io, Humble, and Steam.Īce Combat is a beloved series to me. The way you smashed three men together, just so, leaving a blush of red over the blue carpet, and adding just a soupçon of orange viscera from your own wounds. You, somehow, feel part of the creative process. Each death is greeted by a triumphant crash of cymbals, so you feel like a conductor in your own mad orchestra of carnage. The whole game has an algorithmic masterpiece of a score by Matt Boch, frenetic drums that grow louder and faster as the violence increases, or dip into a lull at times of calm. Ape Out is an overhead smash-em-up with noisy drums and it looks like much fun for anyone who enjoys escapism. No, this is a vicious one from Gabe Cuzzillo, Matt Boch, and Bennett Foddy, oddly enough. Offering both super-difficulty and progress is all too rare, and something to celebrate.īaba is You is $15 on the Nintendo Switch, and the same price on Humble, itch, and Steam, for Windows, macOS, and Linux.Īn Ape has escaped, but he isn’t a friendly little hominid with a siren.

The difficulty of the next group dips back down again as it also introduces new rules, meaning that even if you’ve become completely stuck in one place, there’s likely somewhere else you can continue playing. The difficulty curves up in each set of levels, getting pretty steep toward each groups’ end, but it unlocks the next set before you’ve completed them all. I think one of my absolute favourite things about this, beyond being a completely original and utterly brilliant puzzler, is how meticulously balanced it is in terms of offering progress. PC Gamer’s Philippa Warr enjoyed Baba is You as did RPS’ John Walker, who said: The developer, Arvi Teikari, is behind a ton of other games. Baba is a puzzle game that is about re-writing the language of the game itself when you (Baba, Baba is You, remember?) move blocks of words. Hempuli Oy’s Baba is You came out last month and has received nothing but praise, since. Is anyone modding Doom 2016 or Doom Eternal? (I mean this seriously, I do not believe they are, but it is possible people are doing their best with the tools available) The executives involved should still be embarrassed by the comparison between classic Doom modding and what isn’t possible with the latest games. The money people only engage in open source when it is profitable and exploitable, otherwise they will continue to release locked-down, useless versions of their new games that nobody forms a permanent community around. The 2021 release of Quake will never be the open platform that the full source of the original engines and tools and people produced and the executives above the developers of these ports will likely never understand why people continue to engage with the open-source tools and engines around id’s old games. But this re-release services as an excellent comparison to the wonderful communities that have formed around the original Quake. Get those map-makers, artists, and developers, paid.

There are some mods in the new 2021 re-release of Quake, and more coming which is excellent.

The id software of today is only capable of producing locked-down experiences with the noose of capitalism around them. The harder companies try to lock down on games (or any work), the more they strangle community interest in the thing.

I love this view on the state of the Quake game, engine, and tools, and it’s always been true about communities: Nothing is owned by the companies involved, they are owned by the communities around them.

And ultimately this is what the Quake Renaissance is about: when our communities control our own games – from the source code and tools, to the social hubs and archives – we can reinvent it as necessary, and through it, reinvent ourselves too. Quake modding symbolizes the opposite of work – it is life.

The Internet’s JP tweeted about this fantastic series on RPS from Robert “radiator” Yang about Quake’s history, how to play it with mods today, and the wonderful history of the scene around it:
