I'll come clean and say I haven't read Sandman (yet) but I thought the show was really damn good. I've seen a lot of readers and critics praising it too. It's definitely worth cheking out.
I love the books and would like to see a 1:1 adaptation so I have no interest in the Apple show, but I've been told the show is good if you pretend the books do not exist.
Nintendo's first-party titles are usually very polished on release (Pokemon being a notable exception). Other than that, Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 are two recent major titles that I didn't hear many complaints about, though I'm not sure if the latter counts since it released a couple years ago in Early Access.
Sonic games usually have great music but Sonic Mania in particular is full of bangers, highly recommend it.
Undertale's soundtrack has been memed to death but it's honestly really good.
If you're still in the mood for visual novels the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games have some incredible soundtracks too.
Also, for something slower, I must give a shout out to The Sims 1. It's suave as hell and very, very catchy.
No, too many variables. We only know that a Volvo PV544 isn't effective against that particular Swedish submarine. We now need to crash several different cars against several different submarines several times, for science!
Well, it's pretty much tradition for the Horizon games to have poor timed releases at this point. Zero Dawn was released a couple days before Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Forbidden West came out a couple days before Elden Ring.
Well, in such a scenario I'm also making two assumptions:
That the modders are indeed being paid by Bethesda to work full-time on it since it's meant to be sold when finished (not unlike Skyrim Special Edition, only made by modders)
There's a way to add code and assets from existing mods to their remake. If they have to make it all from scratch then yeah, a year is not enough.
I wonder what would happen if Bethesda gave a few of the best modders full access to the game's code and to the latest version of the engine. I bet they could come up with a current gen remake in under a year without the involvement of a single Bethesda dev.
GOG not having a native Linux client baffles me, like, there's this whole bunch of people who clearly care about software freedom and your store focusing on selling DRM-free games will just ignore them? Oh well. At least we have Heroic.
