    An intimite, mindful story of journalling what matters hits a few small bumps in the road.

    But more than anything, I disliked Season’s belief in its own profundity. Its mysticism felt like cod-Buddhist leftovers, while its nonchalant efficacy of prayer undermined its attempts at agnostic universalism, all crushed under the weight of the sheer banality of all your actions being delivered as if creating a vital tome of historical significance.

    Season is your journey of finding that ephemeral magic and making it permanent. Even as we stand outside in the rain, waiting for god or whoever is behind that door to let us inside, there is no other day exactly like today and there never will be again — and that alone makes it worth cherishing. Season is about every little thing we can value in a life as fleeting as the seasons, and it’s one of my favorite games in years. [Polygon Recommends]

    It took me a little over seven hours to wrap up the story, and while I didn’t see everything, I definitely made sure to seek out the most interesting places and details. I felt just like the main character: venturing out into the great unknown, constantly surprised and amazed by what I found.

TheI'm a gamer of some 40 years, and this is honestly one of the most moving game experiences I've had in memory. An absolute Tour de Force. The writing, the emotional resonance, the mysterious world building (reminded me of Disco Elysium), the dueling senses of both calm and dread.

    Astounding. Profound. Engaging.

    It may only be 3 hours long, but its the most interesting 3 hours of video gaming I've played in maybe the last 10 years. Ignore the idiots review bombing this, if you're looking for a unique polished gem of an experience, look no further.

    Of course I wish it were longer, but for a $25 indie title, it punches far above its weight.    … Full Review »
