Together we have a chat about playing sequels, and whether it’s worth playing an entire series to get up to speed. This week Paula has multiple games added to her retirement list, while Josh has delved into Todd Howard’s wonderful world of marketing BS.

Then Paula comes in and shows just how good she is at guessing those games in our weekly guessing games… again. NB: I was going to link the Café Enchanté soundtrack video, but since the podcast recording, the video has been taken down from YouTube.Īfter diving into the world of souls-bourne rings and knock-offs, this week Paula and Josh are talking about how far they’d go to “get good” and really put in the time to skill-up in difficult games. Paula: Kingdom: New Lands, Subsurface Circular, Stranded Deep, Café Enchanté, The Wandering Village Josh: Vampire Survivors, Last Call BBS, Moonscars, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Lies Of P, Baldur’s Gate 3 , Meanwhile Josh has been getting emotional and is in love with a puppet, while Paula found herself stranded and poisonous, but still managed to protect her crown, in more ways than one.

Have a listen and find out!Įmail - – Ian Edward (intro/outro) and Abatage (incidental) Meanwhile, Paula starts theorising about sticks and strings, while Josh struggles against a janky little 3D platformer. And that's exactly the problem here.It’s October, which brings the HLTB Triple Creature Feature for Game of the Month! Josh and Paula have a chat about the games featured for the month, and what the community are saying. But the game still has to deliver in terms of being a game, or it's all frosting and no cake. It's striking, artsy, minimalist visuals seems to be a trend these days with games like West of Loathing and Superhot. Genesis Noir is the classic example of people assuming they should like something because it seems artsy and hard to understand and different. If you extract meaning from it, good for you, but I'm pretty sure it's all coincidental. The "Noir" bit exists in the music and some of the visuals, but what's the point? It's not a noir story, really. It incorporates science concepts in an abstract and pretentious "Genesis" story to. And even when you stumble upon the way forward, you still don't really understand any of it. It's confusing most of the time, but not in ways that give way to pleasant discoveries or puzzle solving. If youre a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 2½ Hours to obtain 100 completion. Genesis Noir is visually striking but fails in every other department. When focusing on the main objectives, Donut County is about 2 Hours in length. This is an example of how indie games can go just a bit too far.
