Just when I began to ease up on postmodernism as not necessarily bad, I tried to play Void Stranger. It’s like the devs considered it as an art piece you admire rather than as a game you play around with. No undos, constant autosave, can’t retry levels even if you missed collectibles needed for the good ending, apparently can’t restart the game from the beginning until you get at least one ending, and has finite lives in a genre that normally encourages experimentation. You play it their way, or you don’t play it at all.
