Video games are having a meta moment, and I love it
Video games are having a meta moment. New games aren’t just occasionally breaking the fourth wall, but directly acknowledging the influential titles that have come before them. In September alone, Astro Bot, The Plucky Squire, and UFO 50 all showcased what seems to be a unifying moment for the video game industry… All three of those titles are fantastic in their own right, but each is also a love letter to the video game industry’s history in their own way.
