“I’m Skeptical About 20-Year-Old Remasters”, Says Ex-Blizzard President After ‘Diablo II: Resurrected’ Released 21 Years After the Original

1 day ago | vice.com | Shaun Cichacki

Nostalgia is one hell of a driving factor when it comes to video games. Remasters are some of the greatest ways to get all-time classics into the hands of more players, especially those who had never experienced the original game. In the jump from the original Nintendo Entertainment System to the Super Nintendo, Super Mario All-Stars may have kicked off this trend.

When Dinkum was released in Early Access in 2022, it took the world by storm. I guess you could say this Australian-themed cozy game flipped the world upside down. Get it?

With three years of content updates under its belt, it’s bigger, bolder, and better than it ever has been before. And I can’t wait to jump in and experience what this game has to offer.

I slowly walk down a dimly lit street, the crackle of electricity in the air surrounding me. I’ve just obtained a pistol, and the damp crunch of the dirt beneath my feet echoes loudly. I don’t know if I’m going to make it to the school or not, as I search for my son in SAFA, but I’m going to do whatever I can to make sure he’s safe. The immediately oppressive vibe of the world, alongside the great use of lighting, makes every step feel as if it may be my last.
Oh God, They’re Living in My Walls!!! Oh, Never Mind, I Just Forgot I Was Playing ‘Wall Town Wonders'

I’ve grown slightly more fond of city builders as I’ve gotten older, but the more interesting the idea is, the more likely I am to spend time with it. Sure, I played plenty of Sim City back in the day, but nothing has really captivated me as I’ve wanted it to since that point in time. Well, until now, that is.

There’s something just plain wonderful about cozy games that quickly go down the route of horror. Like Dredge before it, Truckful is hoping to bring in those cozy vibes, and then quickly shock us with some ancient horrors. But, unlike Dredge, the world of Truckful is incredibly bright and cheery, full of life, and just looks oh, so wonderful. That is, until you hit the Ancient Forest. That’s when things go from cutesy and lovely to terrifying.
