I love the idea that an Android with immense strength would in another dimension have biceps bigger than his head. Just for aesthetics.
Metroid Prime 4 is a fantastic sci fi action adventure game. The different biomes have all gorgeous art design. The game could have used more enemy variety and some metroids. I really enjoyed it. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Metroid Prime Remastered is a 10 out of 10 game. If you haven't played it the switch version is a great option. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

PS addressed the CBOMB when we raised the issue. They are now acting on the detachable disc drive issue. Nintendo finally offers more card sizes. Some physical games were only made due to public demand. Don't let anyone ever tell you that you don't have a voice as customers!

Soulcalibur II for the Game Cube. The series is underrated in my opinion. Link was a great choice for a guest character. Check it out if you have never played it. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut on Switch 2. I really enjoyed replaying this game with English voice acting. There's Disco dancing, bowling and a chicken you can hire. What more do you need? #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Every “this 90s video game soundtrack did NOT have to go this hard” video essay fails to note President Clinton’s pledge that by the end of the decade, America would create a video game soundtrack that “goes extremely hard”

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

I had a good time playing Salamander 2. Great gameplay and visuals and a fantastic soundtrack. I was able to beat the Japanese easy version with 3 credits via the Gradius Origins collection. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

The Touryst is a mixed bag for me. I loved the art and vibes. I enjoyed the puzzle solving. But I disliked some of the platforming and mini games. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Ghost of Yōtei explores how one heals from trauma. Whether it is a diet of grilled fish, painting lovely landscapes, playing haunting melodies on the shamisen, or slaughtering your enemies, you play as Atsu as she grieves her family and tries to find peace. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I just beat Ys X: Nordics. In this RPG you travel the northern islands with ship combat and you get a magical surfboard to ride along light trails. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Donkey Kong Bananza. I punched and smashed my way to the hollow Earth's golden core. Collected massive amounts of gold, but to be honest, the real gold was the bananas eaten along the way. I loved it. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

If you like fighting games and action RPGs, I recommend the world tour mode of Street Fighter 6. You role play as a citizen of Mayor Mike Haggar's Metro City. Capcom should build off the game and make a 3D Final Fight. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I found Sam & Max Hit the road to be amusing yet frustrating at times. I had trouble getting Sam to move where I wanted in a few instances. I would recommend it only if you are interested in classic point and click adventure games. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Fury3 has been a white whale for me ever since getting a Windows 95 PC with a demo of the game as a child. You pilot a ship in 3d fighting air targets and ground targets across 8 planets. Pretty fun. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster is a great RPG. Gameplay, music, art and story are all fantastic. It's been 18 years since I beat this game on the GBA and I was reminded how wonderful the pacing is. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
