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

How is AllTrails compared to like Komodo etc?

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Im still using Apollo : )

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Honkai Star Rail definitely deserves it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Would have been great if they included Apollo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

A tribute of some kind at least

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

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.
