I have a great time playing through all sorts of game worldsĄȘblasting randomly placed enemies, collecting scattered power-ups, earning points, gaining levels, all en route to some nefarious Ą°main boss.Ą± Usually the game world is very transparent though, meaning
I can tell IĄŻm in a game from the moment I pick up a controller to the moment I put it down again. As a player, IĄŻm not exploring environments, IĄŻm beating levels. IĄŻm not fighting aliens, IĄŻm defeating scripting.
This isnĄŻt always the case. Sometimes I can forget IĄŻm playing a game. Sometimes I feel I really am crawling through an air vent in the Black Mesa Facility |
