@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Spider-Man: Miles Morales - These spider-man games have perfected the free flowing combat style from the Arkham games, and traversal by web slinging is just as fun as combat. Excellent story, voice acting, & music. 10/10.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit COD: Black Ops 6 - This is the 1st COD I’ve played in probably 15 years. The shooter mechanics are elite, but the campaign is short and spends too much time on stealth and spy segments between action sequences. Needs more shooting in a longer campaign. 7/10.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Astro’s Playroom - Your boy got a PS5! This pack in tech demo is a lot of fun, although I’m not a fan of motion controls. Displays all the controller functions while taking a tour through PS history. 9/10.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Balatro - I’m late to this one, but oh my oh my oh my…. Finished a run for the first time and I’m just itching for more. Love this game. It’s probably going to push out a couple of the bigger games I’ve been working through. 10/10

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Axiom Verge - Been working on this while taking breaks from a big RPG. S tier music, great 2D platformer gameplay, and creepy ambience make this *gated exploration* game the best version of Super Metroid, in my opinion. 9/10.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Octopath Traveler 2 - Been working on this beefy boy. Have been stuck on the final secret boss for a week. After my last run at him ended after an hour, I said fuck it. Calling it a beat. 8.5/10, improves on the first one. Elite JRPG gameplay.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Mario Picross on Game Boy via Switch Online - it’s picross puzzles. On Game Boy. Perfect for watching ball or listening to podcasts. Big middle aged dad energy, and that’s okay with me.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Star Wars Outlaws - This game takes the Ubisoft formula (make all the things on the map disappear) and sets it in the Star Wars universe. Elite music, writing, and immersion with some great callbacks to the movies in a genuinely good original story. 9/10

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare - This DLC was pretty fun, adding spooky ambience, & new enemies, weapons, and horses. Short enough to not get repetitive. Enjoyed it more than the main game content. Perfect example of DLC done right in 7th console Gen

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Red Dead Redemption - This is a rebeat. First time I’ve played it since it released… 15 yrs ago? Doesn’t hold up next to RDR2, and movement is janky. But it’s like a cozy game for me. Just western shoot em up, minimal story, make the map icons disappear.

My Xbox year in review

My Switch year in review:

To celebrate #Playstation ‘s 30th anniversary, post four of your most beloved PS1 games! #Playstation30thAnniversary

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Mad Max - This is like the TEMU version of an Ubisoft open world game. High points are elite vehicle combat, and pretty good scenery/visuals. Some janky movement and combat on foot. A solid 7/10 meh.
