1000xRESIST is ostensibly a sci-fi tale about a far future society, formed after a disastrous epidemic decimates humanity. But it’s a game that never stops growing, weaving a complex tapestry of memorable characters, far-reaching subject matter, poetic dialogue, and unforgettable moments both intimate and shocking. It’s a dizzyingly intelligent masterpiece that I’ll be thinking about for years to come.
In the roundup: the class of May 9th - Animal Well, Little Kitty Big City, Crow Country, and Cryptmaster.

I’ve been making a few video essays over on YouTube lately, and had a couple of requests for them to be added to the podcast feed. So I’m trying it out. If you’re on Spotify, you can watch video with this episode, and if not, I hope you enjoy the audio here.
This one is a short essay about the Horizon series, which seems blessed with high sales and critical reception, but cursed in being critically overshadowed by era-defining games that released just weeks away.

2023 was a great year for games, and after three great guest episodes covering the big swings, hits, and misses of the year, it’s time to share my own favourite games of 2023.

Sludge Life 2 is an extremely welcome sequel that gives us more of the original’s winning formula. It’s an improbably enjoyable game that mixes high-speed first-person parkour with tagging, urban exploration, puerile humour, a wavy soundtrack, and a bleak world full of hilarious NPCs just trying to get through life.
In the roundup: Jingle Jam 2023, A Highland Song, December releases, Backpack Hero, and more.

Goodbye Volcano High is a lushly produced visual novel about a high-school band at the end of the world. Playing as a hot goth dino called Fang, we navigate crushes, fallouts, band practice, and roleplaying sessions, all via dialogue choices & light rhythm gameplay. It’s an absorbing story game lit up by sparkling writing, sensuous art, and a dreamy guitar-pop soundtrack.
Also: The Game Awards nominees – Starfield SNUBBED! :')

A blockbuster sequel long in the offing, Alan Wake II offers an original, cutting-edge audio-visual presentation. But its ambition as a showpiece and a spectacle is mirrored by a surprising lack of creativity in other areas, that makes it a uniformly dull – and sometimes frustratingly illegible – gameplay experience.

The wordless story adds some intrigue, and the methodical, tactile, handhold-by-handold climbing really shines.

Nour: Play With Your Food is a bizarre physics-driven rhythm game that’s all about… well, playing with food. The player rains food items into a scene, hitting buttons in time to responsive music, and… seeing if anything happens? As it all devolves into a chaotic spectacle, sometimes it seems like there’s a game structure trying to emerge. Ultimately, not much is clear – except that it’s fun.
In the roundup: some first impressions of sensible racer Forza Motorsport, and a quick look at the rune-translating indie game Chants of Senaar.
Music: Oxenfree II, Night In The Woods.

Cocoon is an enigma. As a green-winged bug, we hop between dimensions, facing puzzles that are in turn intricate and frustrating. It’s slick, polished, and impressive, but uneven, demanding, and narratively vague.

Gunbrella is slick, snappy, vibey action-platformer with a surprisingly affecting story, and some welcome adventure game elements. It’s heavy on style, and short in runtime.

We have liftoff! Starfield is the long-awaited spacefaring RPG that’s dizzying in its scope, depth, variety and possibility. It’s also an uneven and characteristically idiosyncratic Bethesda experience - but 40 hours in, my journey has been packed with awe-inspiring moments, and has inspired a very pure kind of gaming satisfaction.

Fort Solis is an atmospheric sci-fi mystery set on the dark side of Mars. It ramps up the suspense masterfully in the opening stages, and has an interesting story to tell, but is held back by some narrative ambiguity, egregious QTEs, and somewhat basic gameplay.

Shotgun King - The Final Checkmate is a unique turn-based roguelike that’s a mutant form of shotgun chess. It’s very light on content, but the brilliant concept, ever-evolving ruleset, and affordable price make it an indie oddity worth experiencing.

Venba is a striking visual novel that sensitively explores the experience of an young Indian couple emigrating to Canada, and the life events that follow. It has excellent audio-visual presentation and rich subject matter, but the compressed narrative seems to skip key events, before an abrupt ending.

Have a Nice Death is an enjoyable roguelike with slick and satisfying moment-to-moment gameplay, top notch combat, and pinpoint platforming. As a roguelike, though, its various systems are oddly named, ill-explained, and muddled-seeming.

Final Fantasy XVI is a dark fantasy action adventure that tells its epic story via impressively cinematic cut-scenes, sleek, kinetic combat, and spectacular set pieces. Some poor quest design made the story drag, but the characters and combat never got old.

Coffee Golf is an improbably compelling and addictive daily phone game. Each day, you get a new five-hole golf course. It takes luck, skill, and strategy to get around the course, and whittle down your stroke count to get the best possible score. Also, for bonus fun – listen out for a 4.2 earthquake that happened while I was recording!
Also in this episode: a July indie game roundup, including Synapse, GYLT, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, Venba, Viewfinder, The Wandering Village, Immortals of Avium, Crime O’Clock, and more.
