This week on the podcast I checked out Keeper, the newest game from legendary game developers, Double Fine.

The game is absolutely gorgeous but its gameplay was a bit of a miss for me.

I just did my Spotify Wrapped for the podcast.

I am very happy with the numbers and very surprised that Wario Land was my most listened to episode. Looks like I need to make more Wii content haha!

Thanks so much for listening and/or watching this year!

They do when someone tells them that From Soft should put an Easy Mode in their games.

It's a perfect 10.

Dispatch by @adhocstudio.com blew me away and might have knocked Donkey Kong: Bananza off the podium as my Game of the Year.

Check out my written review to find out why.

Episode 79 of the podcast is live!

This week I check out Dispatch, a game about a failed superhero tasked with becoming the 'man-in-the-chair' for a group of ex-supervillains .

It's a fantastic game and a MUST play, so check out my episode on it here: buff.ly/frwd431

Dispatch by @adhocstudio.com didn’t just revive episodic gaming.

It perfected it.

Some screenshots from Keeper.

It is a stunning game, every frame feels like a surrealist oil painting.

From 2006 on it's the same Mario.
The history of 2D Mario.

Nintendo shared this I think when Super Mario Bros. Wonder was coming out, but I really like this image a lot.

Summitsphere reached out to confirm ANTONBLAST was not a solo developed game. We apologize for the misunderstanding and can't wait to include such a great indie in the Steam event.

We do have updated category. Join us in congratulating @bradysoglin.bsky.social on his nomination for Tall Trails!

I love Double Fine but their newest game Keeper was almost not a 'keeper' for me.

I just finished episode 8 of Dispatch.

What a game, one of the best superhero stories I've ever seen.

It's a 10/10 for me!

Episodic gaming is back baby!!

Keeper is a stunning game but the gameplay and story are lacking, with the first two hours of the game almost making me refund it on Steam.

It gets better along the way, but this game will not be making it onto my game of the year list.

Check out my video review:

Keeper Review- Can a piece of art be a great video game?
With its stunning visuals and Double Fine pedigree, I had hoped Keeper could be a game of the year contender. However, though it looks stunning, can a piece of art really make a great video game?…

I'm trying something new with my YouTube Shorts!

It's about Messenger, a short, free indie game that you play in your BROWSER with some gorgeous art.

Check out the short if you can and let me know if you are going to try out the game.

I loved Pokemon Legends: Z-A but there are a few things Game Freak could have done better to make this game the best Pokemon game in the franchise.

I played about 5 hours of Wander Stars by @papercastlegames.com whilst travelling yesterday.

I am loving it so far, the art style and story are *chef's kiss*.

Also, there is a shredded Capybara- game of the year material?

And don't forget, it is an amazing game so far! Don't sleep on Dispatch, it's a game of the year contender for me.
Dispatch coming out in episodes appears to have been a very good strategy for developer Adhoc Studio. Astounding numbers here. Episodic games often risk losing audience attention over time but 8 episodes across 4 weeks seems like the perfect cadence to keep players hooked and talking
