French video game developers staged the first-ever industry-wide strike this week, rallying against deteriorating working conditions and significant job cuts.

Ok. I bought the bundle, but I haven’t heard of any of the games. Are there any that are a “must play”, or do I just add them to the backlog?

Edit: I briefly tried a couple of the in-browser games. What I found was that my French is terrible, and the games need better instructions. I couldn’t do anything in Save the Rioters. Flesh Psychosis is confusing, but might actually be a simple/solid game if I could figure out what I was doing. Macron Dissolution seems to be some sort of political parody quiz game, and I managed to do better than I had any right to do.

Edit 2: I played a couple levels of “RUN: The World in-between”, and it seems like a solid, responsive platformer. I got Super Meat Boy vibes, but I didn’t play it long enough for it to get too challenging.

To support the strike fund I assume, which is the point of the whole post?

They’re on the backlog for me.

I bought it mostly for supporting the strike and for the Godot C# books.
