Blasphemous is the one I'm interested in. This looks great!I wouldn't expect River City Girls to be up until the last minute. Blasphemous is up though.

Wow, they graded their icon IN the icon. How meta.
I still dont' get how some icons can be so bad or non-descriptive. Like I could understand in a way a Sonic game having Sonics face as the icon or a single gold ring, or a Mario game having a cap with the M on it as those are iconc things but when you have some lesser/unknown game just have a weird symbol or character/scenery shot as the icon like it means anything to anyone?
Granted, I'm no graphic designer and couldn't make a nice text treatment or any art to save my life, but if a game already has a nice title logo and some art it isn't hard to combine them in a way that looks nice in a square so you know what game is what at a glance.

It deserves a special place in your website, something like "Do you think that something worst have been used as an icon? Let's find out in this website!"
As a graphics designer, I won't say the word I'm thinking of...

I secretly love it too. Reminds me of the goofiness of the Slam Land icon.
I'm playing Wuppo for review and it still has the icon that was posted earlier in the thread. No idea if it'll be patched before release, but it doesn't look like it.
It's the default Gmail profile icon for people with their first name starting in F.

Here's Tokyo Mirage Sessions™ #FE Encore icon, also Overwatch is up for pre-purchasing, who got the icon?
F... That Overwatch Icon is the same as the PS4 version right? Doubt they'll change it.Blizzard didn't learn their lesson from Diablo III's initial icon and subsequent change.
I actually think they both look nice.The rare occasion that Nintendo drops the ball:
These days, I always check. So many games right now I can afford to be picky over icon nonsense.
As well as the (intentionally) out-of-focus image giving it the impression of being low-res/quality it both fails to communicate what the game is/about and isn't evocative of its distinctive visual style in the slightest.
It's just exceedingly bland imo.
But yeah... Deadly Premonition! 🙅🏽♂️
I still have it unplayed on PS3, guess I'll just jump into that version...
Deadly Premonition is one of the few games where a really bad icon is fitting. I can't be mad about it.
