Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #justbeatit Drill Bird! Another banger hidden gem where you literally drill for hidden gems! It's a mixture of Steam World Dig and... Kirby I guess? Drill Bird is short and really cheap and comes highly recommended by me. Awesome, chill tunes too!

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social , I #JustBeatIt Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. Another Shantae game completed. These games are always good, always surprisingly funny, always charming, and always packed with a great soundtrack. What can I say? Shantae is great.

285) Camouflage

This one was a pretty good puzzle game. It has a pretty unique premise where you play as a chameleon and blend into the floor you walk on to hide from enemies. It’s too long and the puzzles aren’t too hard which is good.

#justbeatit Mr Platformer (from @terrycavanaghgames.com other games).

Cool Lo-fi platformer which is simple but gets more complicated (and weird) along the way if you go for the “good ending”.

2025 Finished Game 77 - Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf (NES)
My dad loved this game. I still think this is the best golf game on the NES. Controls are timeless & responsive. Large colorful sprites with chill music. Needs more tournament options. 4.5/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

272) The Last Blade 2

I’ve never heard about this SNK series until now but it ended up being pretty good. The combat is similar to Samurai Shodown with this emphasis of sword fighting and it has some great looking stages.

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.248 Monster Maulers (ARC). This fighter is amazing. It’s got tight controls, great sprite work, and over-the-top action. Add in a fantastic soundtrack (including some cheesy vocal tracks), and you’ve got a clear winner. Konami goodness at its finest!

Salamander 3 steps it up in intensity from the previous game. I found it very fun and difficult on easy 😅. It first came out a few months ago on the Gradius Origins collection. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

265) Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos

Visually, this is one of the best NES games I’ve ever seen with some stunning cutscenes for its time. But this sequel carries the same frustrations of the last game, specifically the annoying respawning enemies.

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.243 Chuck Rock 2: Son of Chuck (Mega CD). The platforming is serviceable and the visuals are solid, but nothing truly stands out. The funny intro video is the highlight, adding charm the gameplay doesn’t fully match. Decent, but far from essential.

ATV Offroad Fury 2 was a throwback. From the nostalgic gameplay to the ost, everything was super fun to go back to. The rubberbanding was also a challenge to compete against. I grew up with this and 3 in my teenage years and it never gets old. 4.5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.240 Bomber Boy (GB). Bomberman's first portable outing. The stages all have (sometimes very annoying) gimmicks and you can select your items beforehand. It can get repetitive, but it's bomberman; what you see is what you get. But as always: pretty fun!

#justbeatbeatit Ghost of Yotei fine tunes the open-world experience by immersing you in a world in which every side distraction feels worthwhile and as important as the main story. Plenty of variety in attacks and gear, solid story, fantastic soundtrack @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I #justbeatit Persona 5 Royal. What an experience! I felt a real emotional connection to the characters. It took much of the play through to feel ok with all the systems, locations, mini games. I see the draw to play again; to relive the world. Master storytelling. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
