That reminds me, is your shmup still coming to Switch?

I bought a bunch of games in the current Switch eShop sale. First off, one I've been meaning to buy for years: Dead Cells. I must admit I'm a little tired with rogue-likes at this point which might be why I put off getting it for so long (as well as it never quite hit the right price for me) but it ...

So Evercade have announced the Alpha, and it's not what I'd guessed it might be! https://evercade.co.uk/alpha/ Must admit, they look very nice, seem reasonably priced and would be a great way to play the arcade carts I've collected. Will I buy one though? Aaah, probably not. The novelty would likely...

I'd not heard of that Concord game and got Guardians Of The Galaxy vibes with what looked like quite a fun single player game. How disappointing to then reveal it's a 5v5 live service game. Astro Bot looks good though. If it comes to PS+ I might finally give in to the kids and buy a year of it. Not ...

Patiently waiting for the mobile release of this before jumping in. Seems like a prime candidate for a Netflix game, but not sure, will have to wait and see.

I noticed Baba Is You was on Android a couple of days ago and grabbed it right away. I've wanted to play it since it came out but for whatever reason never bought it for Switch. The mobile version was a lot cheaper and it's really a perfect game to play on phone. I've made good progress through the...

Yeah I used to love PC Gamer around the early 2000s. Writers like Kieron Gillen, Richard Cobbett and Jim Rossignol etc.

I fucking did it, woohoo! Two years and finally finished! What a game. Still think it's too big, but what a game.

I'd love a Wind Waker re-release. Also Mario Galaxy 2. And a sequel to Odyssey. Can't see any of those being announced though to be honest. Maybe later for the Switch 2?

Aaah I really want to get this finished before the show! Just reached the penultimate boss yesterday, the Godfrey Elden Lord one who transforms in to some beast thing after. I think it's the final boss after that one? The Black Blade chap was a bit of a sticking point, took me about 5 tries to get h...

Nice one. Same for me, always excited for this time of the year. Had to double take to be honest because I was thinking June was ages away!

It's kind of an odd comparison. You're certainly not the only one to make it, but I think aside from both games featuring little creatures you can tell what to do they're completely different games, really. But yeah, I prefer it to Pikmin too!

I think the original Far Cry (1) on PC is still my favourite. Felt revolutionary at the time, huge open spaces but still a linear game. I remember hiding in bushes from enemies and holding my breath in real life. It felt far less bombastic than later games. Crysis was the 'real' sequel to Far Cry in...

Aaah I'd somehow never heard that before! Thanks for sharing

Adam, whilst you're here, we all know what a great success your edits of the Computer Game Show podcast have been. I'm wondering if Leon will let you have a crack at Cane and Rinse

(No, really though )

Nifflas' idiosyncratic platform metroidvania, Knytt Underground. A game that's been a bit lost to time, really. Never got re-released after the PS3 and Wii-U and a really interesting oddity.

B) This is probably the case for all Souls games but I eventually gave up trying to figure out the game myself and purposely seeked help/tips/walkthroughs etc. I eventually learned that this is a part of the Souls experience, there are often some very obscure and absurd methods to obtain higher qua...
