43: Making The Rules Up As You Go Along

Posted on 18/12/2020 Written by deKay Leave a Comment

As it’s Actual Christmas, we decided to give you a special Christmas episode of the podcast. We’re so very, very sorry.

In Episode 43, deKay, Kendrick, Luffer and James not only talk about some recent gaming news like CD Projekt Red and the 32Blit handheld, but they also play An Actual Game in the form of a quiz devised by Luffer which we’re definitely not calling Luffer’s Bluffers. It’s an utter shambles, rather like that time your dad forgot to turn the oven on and the turkey didn’t get eaten until 3am on Boxing Day. As well as that aural horrorshow, we delight you with Game Chat about these things:

  • Yakuza Like A Dragon
  • Garou Mark of the Wolves
  • Horace
  • Trails of Mana
  • Puyo Puyo Tetris 2
  • Astro’s Playroom

And deKay goes into far too much detail about the PS5 controller and not-reviews the console itself. Just in case Christmas wasn’t ruined enough already. Please tell your friends about us. We’ve been good this year.

Ghost of Tsushima (PS5) – Completed

Posted on 07/12/2020 Written by gospvg

There is no need to buy new games for a new console when you can still enjoy all the games you own thanks to Backwards Compatibility!

So I started the life of the PS5 enjoying Ghost of Tsushima, an open world samurai adventure game released on the PS4 by Sucker Punch (Infamous/Sly Cooper). You play as Jin Sakai who fights againsts his samurai code to defend the island of Tsushima against a Mongol invasion.

I've been hoping Ubisoft at some point would visit Japan for their Assassin Creed series but thankfully they never delivered and Sucker Punch instead produced a great world to explore and enjoy. I love that there is very minimal UI in the game and no on-screen world map.


 

The main quest focusus on Jin's relationship with his Uncle Lord Shimura but there are also lots of other characters that are given substantial time to shine, I especially enjoyed the adventures with con-artist Kenji & Monk Norio.

There are other activities in the game from collectables like artifacts, vanity items to paying your respects to Fox Den shrines. Scaling the damaged shrines brought back Tomb Raider memories.

Overall a great single player campaign, brilliantly voice-acted with an epic culmination.

Certainly up there with the great open world games this generation like The Witcher 3 & Horizon Zero Dawn. I have just completed my Game of the Year.

Next The Last Campfire by Hello Games.

42: Animal Crossing is Basically Destiny

Posted on 27/11/2020 Written by deKay 1 Comment

Don’t let the title of this episode fool you – we’re all about the New Exciting Gaming Devices. All three of them! Yes, three. Count them if you don’t believe us.

In Episode 42, deKay, Zo, Kendrick and Niaz completely fail to discuss Life, the Universe and Everything despite all being massive nerds, but instead talk all about the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 – the hardware, the news, the difficulty in finding one, and oh yeah, the games and why playing Geometry Wars and Sonic Adventure is The Thing To Do on the world’s most powerful games console. There’s some other bits of news too but honestly, it’s mostly that. They did talk games though! These ones:

  • Yakuza Like a Dragon
  • Panzer Dragoon
  • Animal Crossing
  • HYRULE WARRIORS: Age of Calamity
  • Astro’s Playroom
  • Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
  • FIFA 21
  • The Walking Dead (S1-3)
  • Tetris Effect
  • Geometry Wars
  • Marvel Spider-Man Miles Morales
  • Ghost of Tsushima
  • Need for Speed Payback
  • Bugsnax

All bolstered with devations and asides and questions. So much, in fact, there’s a change from the 90 minute run time advertised in some listings.
