  • You have to admire and respect games that are willing to be themselves so strongly that they turn people off. Nine Sols is willing to give you just a little bit of a hand (amazing difficulty sliders), but if that can't get you over the hump - all of its worldbuilding and art and laser-tight combat just aren't for you. Nine Sols' purity of will is so strong, it can even parry you.

    In this episode: Nerts! NES difficulty, eventually every piece of video game criticism will devolve into pointing at dark souls and grunting, backtracking, being fundamentally broken, just parry it, taopunk, apemen, fucked up projects, you do not, in fact, have to hand it to Goumang, feather gets oneshot by a cutscene because she was too busy being a simp, we fail to understand Tao, NERTS TIME, wait actually we weren't done talking about Nine Sols, NERTS TIME FOR REAL, we will never finish this podcast, MORE NERTS.

  • Strange Scaffold's I Am Your Beast made several of our GOTY lists, with good reason. This game feels like a prototype to that, trading Beast's frenetic relentless energy for a drawn out character study. It's not a very good trade, but seeing the strange scaffolding built up in El Paso Elsewhere to later enable Beast is at the very least fascinating. At the very least, you have to respect the art and swagger!

    In this episode: wait a minute - I hate Strange Scaffold, I Am Your Beast, wildly divergent game understandings, dives, rolls, and diverolls, enemy types, pill cop, slow mo makes pistols better, elevator names, another game ground down by the podcast mill, horrible people and the things they do to each other.

  • We are all so eternally grateful that so many of you have stuck with us through the past year, despite the end of blaseball and the shift from ICB to Infinite Cities, it's thanks to listeners like y'all that we keep doing this. And yeah, sure, we'd probably still be friends and we'd probably still keep playing games if the podcast didn't exist, but it's all because of your suggestions and recommendations and conversations that spin out of the games we play that motivate each and every one of us to keep going week to week. We played over 40 different games for the podcast this year, and we've gone through so much, from little gems like Little Kitty, Big City and Jusant to big fun romps like Hi-Fi Rush or Pokemon Emerald. And who could forget the Month of Ghost Trick, which never would have happened without your imput. It delights me that this project is still going; here's to 2025!

    in this episode: goty awards, the big countdown, karp doesn't get to go, honorable mentions, karp's confidence, the objectively number one best game of the year, feather's travel go-fuck-yourselves, orbulon, chris likes sweden, world of volvo, bird day

    We're tackling an excellent immersive sim that got overlooked by many when it came out, and we recommend that you do too. It's Prey (2017) (no relation to Prey (2006) (other than it was supposed to be a sequel)).

  • Is it enough to be quietly good?

    If a game drops no notes and has no flaws, how can you hate it? Perhaps more importantly: you play as a bird, how the eff does Feather hate this one?

    (One: I promise it's strictly coincidence all the bird games are also the best games. I have no bias here. Also: I disliked fall of porcupine, so nyeh)

    (Two: I don't even hate this one! This is a perfectly fine game! That's the point!)

    Anyway, Death's Door is cute and smooth and fun and it even has a tab for shiny things you find and collect and there's cute plants that follow you around and that's good enough. Probably.

    It's not like you only have a limited amount of time on this earth.

    What? You didn't make a contract with the Lord of Doors?

    Well.

    That changes things then.

    In this episode: DEATH, tunics, uniqueness, dodge rolls, soul counting, modern game design, rock bag at the gift store, science, lil plant friends, story spoilers, hookshot mechanics, it's a fine game, your first video game, Devolver digital, being piloted by a squid.

  • It's Halloween week, and in an attempt to be spooky, we chose to play a spooky game about a man on an oil rig in the middle of the North Sea in the 70s. Some spooky shit happens. And everyone except Gary noped out at the first stealth section. Of course, instead of being scared, I cried, so y'know, you win some, you lose some.

    in this episode: spooky vibes, oil rigs, walking sims, yellow paint, a gooey guy, different flavors of phobia, being scared, being spooky, being scottish, phenomenal voice acting, a different kind of fleshy, get to the choppa', a beeg sluggy man, finley's mistake, gary cries on the pod (again), questioning horror expectations

  • vivid/stasis mentionnnnnnnnnnnn

    For a game that was recommended in the comments of a mostly/unrelated meme, this was actually a pretty/banger game. Kind/of. It's definitely a peak rhythm game, with great tracks, great maps, and simple mechanics used extremely interestingly.

    Unfortunately, that's not all that's here.

    Also: this one's more of a sickos mode than anything because feather hogged the entire game to herself :3 clocking a dumbass 17 hours in over the course of the week! Let that be a review and/or warning!

    Join us next week as we play Still Wakes The Deep!

    In this episode: other rhythm games, this game is for sickos, the strangest first song, bumper breakdown, enter the node flowchart, difficulty and accessibility options, mind-altering effects, begrudgingly: the visual novel, waking up and choosing violence, not for casuals, trying to unpack the story, interesting ambition and fascinating failures.
