Why? Because failure and defeat aren't much fun... or are they? Contrary to popular belief, The Architect is genuinely awful at videogames and has seen their fair share of ruined colonies, terrifying monsters and doomed dungeon runs, but despite it all, some great games manage to make this experience entertaining and enriching without compromising their challenge - how can they pull this off? Well, it's all to do with rethinking the consequences of our failure and coming to terms with the fact that WE might be the reason why failure sometimes isn't fun.
