![]() Kate: My first time playing Skyrim was on the Switch. ![]() It all works wonderfully in setting up the wild ride you’re about to face in the world of Disco Elysium. I had to take a screenshot of this moment to remember the details: the off-putting, yet beautifully painted depiction of Harry filling the screen the absurd internal dialogue choices presented to you the new avatar picture in the bottom left corner. The entire scenario is utterly ridiculous and really demonstrates the impact that Harry’s hedonistic night in Martinaise had on him. There are countless moments of genius peppered throughout the game, but the first scene that really got in fits of giggles was when you first catch a glimpse of Harry du Bois’ face in the mirror. Ollie: I don’t think I was ever really prepared for how ludicrous some of the writing is in Disco Elysium: The Final Cut. It’s such a sweet touch, and as you can see, it makes for great photos. This shot obviously took a while to set up - I was very interested in getting it more or less symmetrical, and I have to applaud the game designers for adding the ability for birds to land on you when you’re idle. The photo mode is brilliant, which makes it not only easy, but incredibly appealing and fun to take snaps of Mario doing stupid things. Kate: Super Mario Odyssey pretends to be a game about platforming and hat throwing, but it’s secretly a game about avian photography. ![]() Unrelenting bleakness permeates the world and the lives of everyone you encounter, but it sure looks pretty. The decaying architecture of Cvstodia and dappled light on the underside of the clouds in this sunset shot (sorry, I had to do one sunset shot, okay?!) highlight the game’s striking pixel art and palette. The Game Kitchen did an incredible job in every department, but the game’s violence and gore was juxtaposed with an incredible beauty that I still think about occasionally. I came late to this game but absolutely adored it.
