Former Gears of War boss Cliff Bleszinski is in no rush to return to game development, it seems, and after 11 years is still very much pocketing memories of his defunct ඣstudio Boss Key Productions.

Boss Key, you may remember, released two games – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:and had some gorgeous conc⭕epts for others – before closing down. LawBreakers was a competitive FPS released in 2017 to fairly positive reviews, while 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Radical Heights was a battle royale shoo🍒ter released in 2018 to noticeably less positive reviews.

. "Sigh. It was amazing at first and then, well, it broke me for a good long while. Still bitter about the internet finding it hilarious that my studio folded."

In replies to another user, Bleszinski affirmed that "I'm happy consulting at this point" rather than fully returning to gaming. It seems his thoughts have changed since 2020, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:when he expressed "a slight itch to s🔯cratch to maybe poke around and see about ma꧟king a little game."

At the time, Bleszinski also reckoned that Boss Key "should have started w💜ith a small, inꦐdie game FIRST before trying to make the shooter we ultimately did." He also argued that "the marketing from our publisher was lackluster, and that's putting it mildly."

Boss Key legitimately had some FPS chops, but Radical Heights, in particular, felt like a victim of the trends of the games industry. The battle royale b𒐪oom had come and, perhaps not gone, but certainly settled into a collective of genre-dominating giants that made it hard for new games to make any headway even when those games were excellent. And Radical Heights, to put it kindly, was less than excellent. Its now-buried Steam page has preserved its 9,788 reviews, averaging out to 62% positive.

Diving into Gears of War: Reloaded's chaotic multiplayer servers is like being wrapped in a warm blanket lined with sandpaper.
