While Horizon Zero Dawn has been highly praised for its graphics, gameplay, story, and character design, there's one element that seems to have been neglected thus far — the music. For years, Dutch composer Joris de Man has offered up some of the most aurally arresting soundtracks in gaming, yet few people think to ask the simple question: Who is the person behind the creativity?

We live, we love, we lose, and we move forth with our lives. It's an endless dance we will continue with it until our time for our final bow comes near. It's a dance that we've become all to familiar with no matter how painful it goes, no matter how bad we want to stop, and exit the floor. This is something recently I've had to come to terms with as my closest friend, my great grandfather, and the one man I wish I could aspire to be passed on moments after I saw him last.

RoAnna SylverPublished 6 years ago in GamersHow 'Flower' Makes Artistry Interactive
First video in a while. Hope it's worth the wait! It's my analysis of thatgamecompany's lesser-known masterpiece, Flower! Are video games art? Some of you may be too young to remember, but there was a time when this was an important question. Most people saw video games as either children’s toys or murder simulators, but not works of art. To change this perspective, many games began to become more like movies, a type of media everyone considered an art form. Halo and Uncharted were more like modern day adventure movies, and Mario and Zelda were akin to Pixar films. And there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other art forms, but if someone were to ask me to show them a game to prove that video games are works of art, for me, that game would be Flower.
Mighty NiftyPublished 7 years ago in GamersHave Video Games Reached a Level of Artistic Expression?
Imagine this: You are in a first-person perspective, your virtual office is empty and devoid of any human life, almost as if everyone had vanished into thin air. The narrator tells you that everyone has gone missing and you should go to your boss's office, to check if there was a meeting you missed. Along the way there’s little for you to interact with, as traces of human life still linger, monitors are turned on and papers are ruffled on the floor, all the while the narrator instructs you where to go in this seemingly first level of the game. But then you reach a set of two open doors, so the narrator tells you to ignore one door and go to the one on the left. You are at a fork in the road and the game has already done an exceptional job at engaging you in its setting, to push you to continue to unravel the mystery and leaving you with a choice. Should you follow the narrator and go to the door on the left? Or disobey and take your chances on the right?
