35 years after being dazzled by my first video game, Split Fiction showed me there's no stopping their ability to astonish
Games have changed a lot in the 40+ years they've been mainstream, but they still have the power to deliver wonder.
Ropey 3D to solid and vivid 3D worlds happened a good 20+ years ago, and since then there's an argument that we've had steady iteration and improvement, but not unbelievable transformations. I rarely get that sense of utter bedazzlement these days, my eyes unable to fully trust what I'm seeing, my brain desperately trying to work out how this feat has been achieved - so when such a moment occurs, it hits hard, to the extent that I'd be punched back into my seat if feelings carried physical weight.
