QUOTE: Know Thy Enemy

"We're all being generationally genocided. Made to kill ourselves and others. Indirectly and directly so. Through the very life giving things we partake of we are taking in poisons. Through word of mouth and perpetuated lies our thoughts are being poisoned with hate, and a false sense of reality. If we cannot see this we cannot stop the cycle and hold accountable those who are doing this to us. Know thy enemy."

Crymachina | PS5 Review

The lightly true-to-life sci-fi dystopian action RPG known as, "Crymachina" perfectly reflects our current human plight, and humanity's futile efforts towards transcending the limitations of itself through the 4th industrial revolution.

On the flipside of the same creationist conundrum the created creature of a man struggles with his understanding of the world he's been birthed into. Wondering why his own creator would look at him with such disgust and why humanity, in general, would see him as a monster instead of one of their own. Fleeing the world he was born to fit into Frankenstein's creature seeks to find an understanding of it's own existence while trying to ward off hostility it does not understand. Thus is Mary Shelley's contribution to literature ...

Hero Survival | PS5

SometimesYou is one of the few publishers with onboard developers who truly think outside of the box. Each game, no matter how inline with gaming genres it may or may not be, always harbors a deeper meaning. These games with a moral message not only offer fun in spades, but also get those who would see the obvious ties to real life to reflect on our current reality, be it societal, political, or religious in nature.

With 'Hero Survival', an auto-battler with a hero twist, we find Jake (PWNMASTER69) summoned by the timemaster himself to prove his worth against insurmountable odds alongside famed personalities like Harrison Ford, John Rambo, Honest Abe, and Bram Stoker. Jake, and his famous heroic counterparts must live up to their persona or look like a fool in attempting to do so. Therein lies the game's deeper meaning ...
