334 Preview: Resident Evil Village

Episode  |  October 21st, 2021  |  56 mins 40 secs

Thank you Adam Bucceri! Check out their game, Enter the Survival Horror, at adam-bucceri.itch.io

Ethan Winters vs Magneto and a hot topic creepy doll? And it's good? What the heck? This direct follow up to RE7 is a love letter to the series, featuring an impressive array of bosses and locations that evoke the series high points. While Ethan Winters remains as compelling as some kind of unintelligent wad of white bread, the cast of colorful weirdos around him defines the game. Check it out!

Thank you Jeremy!

This is a weird one! En, a member of a hyper capable cult of child somethings tries to revive her dead friend(?) who is also a cube(!) The story, lore, and world-building in this game are really quite great but the play never comes together. Listen in to hear why!

It's time crimes right on down the line.

329: Sonic The Hedgehog 2

Episode  |  September 9th, 2021  |  1 hr 52 mins

Listen, there's a lot to talk about here. You could talk about how we've been doing this show for a decade, or about how Sonic exemplifies the tension between freeform arcade gameplay and the slower, more exploratory form of platformers that would ultimately win out in the end, but the real story here is that I need you to imagine a screenshot of a notes app post where I apologize for mixing up the seed drill and the cotton gin in this episode.

Big thanks to Gwen Static for this awesome remix of the theme song!

328: Katana Zero

Episode  |  September 2nd, 2021  |  2 hrs 41 mins

It's rain-soaked, neon-soaked, and blood-soaked.

watch out for fireballs, woff

Thank you Nicholas!

Welcome to the Courtesy Dome where two polite midwesterners sensibly argue whether this game is good or bad. Is it a cool mystery story with a neat aesthetic? Or is it an effectively linear, barely interactive time tax? ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE.

Paradise Killer is an odd duck. Part visual novel, part mystery adventure game, part 3d collectathon platformer? With light dating sim elements. We spoil the whole mystery here, so listener beware!
