Re: Our next podcast recording (5.2.22) - 505: Hollow Knight

I adore this game. As a testament to how much I love this game, it's one of the few games of its scale I've fully completed (112% completion). And I'm not particularly good at games. Those DLC bosses took me a long time. It's also one of the few games that's got me well into the lore. The greatest j...

Re: Game suggestions for the podcast

Blimey, that's a lot of titles! I'm not sure we have any hardcore genre enthusiasts among the team, but the original Rogue is certainly on the list, as I believe is Nethack. I'll add the others as always so we can see if there's any interest among the gang. But, probably don't literally hold your b...

Re: Game suggestions for the podcast

Any classic/traditional roguelikes? They're a bit niche perhaps but they've obviously been very influential on the broader Roguelike/lite genre.

Re: 495 - Ori and the Will of the Wisps

I played the demo of Ori and the Blind Forest, but its gameplay didn't really grab me even though I usually like platformers. But seeing the rave reviews of Ori and the Will Of The Wisps led me to give this sequel a second chance. I'm glad I did, because this was a really great game. The smooth move...

Re: 449: Super Mario Odyssey

This is the only 3d Mario game I'd played beyond briefly renting Sunshine many moons (ha!) ago. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the game and experiencing each colourful environment and buying cute outfits for Mario, although the platforming was a bit easy. I didn't feel compelled to play much o...
