Re: 622: Elden Ring
It’s difficult to be concise about a game as vast as Elden Ring, but I’ll try. I love From Software for the same reason that I love Frictional Games; they’re committed to a particular vision and a set of values, and with each new release they continue to iterate on and refine that vision, and you ei...

Re: 585: Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
As a follow up to the superb Amnesia: The Dark Descent, my expectations for this game were very high. I enjoyed the game for what it was but it didn’t come close to meeting those expectations. It was much shorter and lighter mechanically, I spent less time solving puzzles and hiding from monsters an...

Re: 600: Demon's Souls (2020)
When this came out I’d played and loved all of FromSoft’s Soulsy games except for Demons Souls, as I never had a PS3. I was very excited to go back and see where it all began, albeit in remake form. To begin with, I hated Demon Souls. I was expecting a relatively primitive first draft of Dark Souls ...

Re: Our next podcast recording (29.7.23) - 580: Deathloop
I seem to have fonder memories of Deathloop than many others. I agree with most of the criticisms I’m seeing from other posts but they weren’t enough to sully my experience. Having an endlessly repeating timeloop gave the player permission to really experiment without worrying about the consequences...

Re: 573: Death's Door
Death's Door is the best Zelda game I've ever played

Re: Our next podcast recording (23.10.22) - 542: Nioh
I was excited to try Nioh as I'm a big fan of the Souls games (I think everyone's post here starts like that...) but I only played the first few levels of the game. The combat was exciting and had a lot of depth to it, I loved the aesthetic, but what I found missing was the free-roaming world made u...

Re: Our next podcast recording (20.8.22) - 533: Cuphead
When I was five or six years old, the kid next door showed me World of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse on the Mega Drive. We didn’t have a Mega Drive at home and seeing this cartoon come to life was a really magical moment for me. We played through that game together over and over again. I played Cup...

Re: 538: Resident Evil Village
I'm such a big Resident Evil fan that I bought a Playstation 5 specifically for Village as I wanted to experience the best possible version of this game. I was especially fond of RE7 and so my hopes for this one were high. I'm sorry to say that I found Village rather disappointing in the end. In my ...

Re: 497 - Death Stranding
I wouldn't describe myself as a Kojima fan. I loved Metal Gear Solid 1 + 2 back in the day but couldn't get into the later games in that series. As such, going into Death Stranding I was intrigued but I expected to bounce off the game and trade it in. That didn't happen, I was hooked right away and ...

Re: 473 - Sonic the Hedgehog
I got a Sega Master System when I was five years old and my siblings and I all hammered Sonic 1, 2 and Sonic Chaos. At that age I obviously didn't realise this but those Sonic games weren't developed by Sonic Team which might explain how variable they are in terms of quality. The MS version of Sonic...
