I don't think singleplayer games are dead but I also think that when someone says that, they're not talking about individual titles being successful. They're talking about broader trends in consumer spending. So, a datapoint isn't doing anything to refute it either.
It’s a screenshot from Ninja Gaiden Ragebound a 2D game with beautiful pixel art. A ninja wearing a blue outfit is about to face off against a giant black and red demon. The background is an orange haze as meteors crash into a city.
I’m gong to start posting more about what I’m playing and other topics care about. This week I’ve been focused on Ninja Gaiden Ragebound. It’s not perfect but it’s still one of the best retro stylised action games that I’ve played and the aesthetic is just incredible.

So excited for this. As always the art looks beautiful.
Hope they're fun to play solo and in pairs. My partner and I will be playing them together most of the time but I'm keen to experience how they play alone too. It seems like a very unique design challenge that you've inadvertently taken on.
I was looking into this too. It looks pretty fun. I wasn't sure how it would work with blended local environments though (e.g. 2 players local at two sites), or how much story it had versus combat, and whether the story elements were interesting.
ICYMI my friend Joe and I ran our own micro conference last year in Brighton for gaming accessibility, and we’re hoping to run it again this year! 🥳
It focuses on approachable micro talks, so if you have an idea for a talk you’d love to give please let us know via the form:
