Unpacking as a Cultural Impact finalist just seems weird, considering what all the other apps in that category do.

[-] brynjolf@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How is AllTrails compared to like Komodo etc?

[-] chknstrp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love stitch on apple arcade hope they get that award!

[-] drd-dev@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bug snax is on Apple TV lol?

[-] UniversalBuilder@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This selection is so random.

Duolingo again, really ?

Lies of P is a really incredible Soulsike, but what is it compared to ? A generic game and a remake. That's a joke.

And besides that, this whole selection just shows how bad the state the stores are in. There isn't a single blockbuster besides perhaps vampire survivors. And don't tell me it's because of its original design. Come on.

Anyways.

Duolingo slaps. They’ve had mad updates this year too. Super well designed and native feeling experience.

[-] paradoxally@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

But why is it constantly a finalist? Surely there is at least one app released this year which is worth of that spot.

[-] chalybsumbra@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You’re underselling Lies of P. It’s compared to Bloodborne, one of the greatest PS3 games and I don’t know what remake you’re talking about (Demon’s Souls)? It’s nominated for best RPG at the VGAs and has an 80-84 on metacritic. Graphically beautiful with a great art direction and runs smooth on all hardware. It definitely deserves its praise.

I don't think he's criticizing Lies of P, rather he's criticizing Elex II and Monkey Island that it's running up against.

[-] chalybsumbra@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh that makes more sense. Still, Return to Monkey Island is not a remake, and it’s a critically lauded point and click game. Elex 2 is garbage though.

I wish they’d nominate Apollo again, even though it’s unavailable lol

[-] mancow533@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Im still using Apollo : )

[-] Athiena@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honkai Star Rail definitely deserves it!

[-] graupel22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Flighty is just so well done all-around, nice to see it on the list!

[-] southwestern_swamp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lifetime purchase…$250. It better be well made..

[-] XNY@alien.top 0 points 2 years ago

Would have been great if they included Apollo

[-] alex2003super@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A tribute of some kind at least

[-] JL1823@alien.top 0 points 2 years ago

TooGoodTooGo is so clutch when looking for a take-out diner. It's 50% and you are helping reduce food waste.

[-] tiagojpg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed 1000%, we can get sushi for 2 for 5€!!! Why so many restaurants are still not in it? I don’t know, it’s such a good idea.
