ULTIMATE BROUGH GAMES RECOMMENDATION THREAD Lots of people seem interested but intimidated or unsure where to start. First of all just think of Michael Brough like your favorite game designer with a unique style like Itagaki or Ueda. You don’t have to wear a suit to play Ninja

i’m fully aware that millions of gamers suffer from gameplay blindness, but every time i see it this starkly it feels like cold water flung in my face

heard someone say Getting Over It is special because the voiceover makes it feel like you’re "playing a game with the designer". lil bro has not heard of level design
