#justbeatit Absolum. I don’t often play beat em ups unless TMNT is in the title, but this roguelite version was a good time. The first successful run may not be a true end to the game, but I hit credits so I’d thought I’d share @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit This is a rebeat of Astro Bot to complete a square and give me 6 lines of Bingo earning me Fanboy status on @polykillpodcast.bsky.social ‘s 2025 Challenge. A great way to wrap up the year

#justbeatit Disney Villains Cursed Café. I started this reading it to my 5 yr old daughter. After a few plays, she preferred doing other things, so I finished the second half solo. Clever writing for Disney characters but not much more than visual novel for kids @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Keeper was stunningly beautiful. The puzzles were fairly linear only requiring a step or two to complete. I only really enjoyed the last couple of sections from a gameplay standpoint @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Dispatch is now my favorite Tell Tale-like. It adds unique spin to the superhero archetype. The dispatching part was beat even though it occasionally allowed me to send an incomplete team resulting in avoidable failure. Voice acting was phenonmenomenomal @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit It Takes Two. I started playing this game four years ago with my 7 year old nephew. We played every year he visited for Thanksgiving and now we completed with him at age 11. A great couch co op experience even if this story was beyond him most of the time @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#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

#justbeatit BALL X PIT. I stayed up past my bedtime many nights for an additional run or to upgrade parts of my town. I still have a few blueprints to unlock and there seems to be more to do, but I may use this beat to go cold turkey on this gaming addiction @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit despelote feels like a deeply personal video-game-memoir of a young man growing up in Ecuador in the early 00s as the country tries to make it to the World Cup. It has some incredibly artful storytelling, as gameplay takes a bit of a backseat @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit 20 Small Mazes explores mazes by layering an extra type of puzzle mechanic on to each of the 20 small brain teasers. Very clever with minimal bells and whistles @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Strange Jigsaws. A neat lateral thinking puzzler that goes beyond putting jigsaw pieces together. Each standalone puzzle explores a unique mechanic that brings you to “aha!” Little narrative and almost no music. Great way to work your brain for two hours @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Silent Hill f is a solid spooker. Managing health, stamina, special attacks, weapon durability, and items to replenish each, eventually gets repetitive once enemy types stop evolving. Game is short so I overall liked the creepy settings with neat puzzles @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Oxenfree. This game relies heavily on a narrative of a group of angsty teenagers walking around a pretty island as mildly spooky things start to occur. The story did not hit for me so not the best time. Voice acting was great although characters weren’t @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Hollow Knight: Silksong. I’m posting this now in case I never make it to the “good/final” ending, which I immediately plan to focus on. Up to this point, the game has been a wonderful challenge and I’m looking forward to seeing all that it has in store. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Hollow Knight. I picked up a save from years ago where I was just outside final boss. It took me 30 minutes to remember controls and take it down…I couldn’t remember a lot of what I did and I got the worst ending…but I’ll take the W. Ready for tomorrow! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Loco Motive. An excellent point & click throwback with a multi-POV, murder-mystery story and great voice acting. I’m ashamed of the times I used the in-game hint system but really enjoyed the times everything “clicked.” @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Is This Seat Taken? This mini-puzzle game has you assigning seats to characters with certain needs using logic. It expands on the initial idea but never really blossoms beyond just being a little more tedious. Cute for playing as a background game @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Sword of Sea. An atmospheric adventure of surfing on sand and turning it to water. Controls are super smooth (you can turn around on a dime). Music and art are breathtaking. Gameplay is simple, but fun to vibe to @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

TMNT IV: Turtles In Time (Cowabunga Collection). A quick trip down memory lane of a game I only played at a friend’s house as a child. Did I finally #justbeatit ? Yes. Was it on Easy with as many lives/continues as possible? Yes. Glad to have shredded my way through it @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Far Cry 3 Classic Ed. I played this for @polykillpodcast.bsky.social bingo and completed the Polykill Board with this one. The narrative was my favorite part but I got tired of the crafting and exploration about halfway through and brute forced it with few resources for the end. BINGO!

#justbeatit Donkey Kong Bananza. Exploration has rarely felt this fun. I wanted to search every nook and cranny to find every banana and there were so many bananas! New powers were also great to explore. Awesome time and can’t wait to find even more bananas post-game @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Mafia: The Old Country. This game played like a 2000s game with a modern look. I was ok with the linear narrative nature it, but was not thrilled with these older stealth/action mechanics. Even though I had frustrations, the good slightly outshined the bad @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV. We got to credits by completing one board of Mario Party and played a few more modes online. The game suffers from the typical “waiting for my turn.” Online was fun but I don’t know if it justifies the additional $20 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
