Remap is what Waypoint turned into. Waypoint was a video game vertical/section through Vice Media. It was Patrick Klepek, Rob Zacny, Ricardo Contreras, Renata Price, and Austin Walker at one point. Klepek, Zacny, & Contreras started Remap to carry on their brand of video game analysis (very thoughtful, far-left leaning, and often times focusing on smaller and older games).

Between this and Remap continuing with essays & journalism… I am one happy dude. I’m hopeful that there is still a space for writing in the video game area.

The Room games are great puzzle/escape room type things where you use the screen to rotate items, flip switches, drag things, etc; it’s very tactile and clearly built for a touch screen. Each one takes about 2-4 hours.

Saw the 2D perspective and was worried that this would be like New Super Mario Bros. (just okay imo), but there are actually some new mechanics in this thing! looks fun. and cute. can’t forget the cute.
