Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JistBeatIt Mcpixel 3. Never has the swing from "I hate this game" to "I love this game" been so great. The intro tells you nothing. The HUD is confusing. But then, funny stuff starts happening and... Suddenly I get it!

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Super Kiwi 64. About as basic a 3D platformer as you can get while still actually being pretty fun. The jank stays in the aesthetic lane, keeping the actual mechanics pretty solid. Recommended for fans of any bird species.

What if the fastest way to send your #bouldering project… is to try the worst beta first?

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Viewfinder. Another stunner in the first person perspective puzzle genre populated by games like Superliminal, Maquette, Manifold Garden, and more. A must play for fans of the genre.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Wanderstop... Which is weird to post about considering the game's theme is relaxation and incomplete-ness. Overall, an enjoyable enough time, but the narrative shows its cards way too early and stretches the premise thin.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt How Fish are Made. Following Mouthwashing, I checked into the dev's first game. It's probably too short to be a true game, but it did have a trypophobia warning, which I ignored and quickly regretted. 3 out of 5. Time of my life.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt And Roger. This narrative empathy simulator translates the symptoms and feelings of dementia in such a helpful way. My mother has dementia, and this game has helped me sense what she might be going through. Thank you @kodansha.us and TearyHand.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Aperture Desk Job. More an interactive tutorial for the Steam Deck than a true game, but entertaining and witty nonetheless. Valve didn't have to put so much effort into this, but I'm glad they did. And hearing Nate Bargatze was a nice surprise.

I stopped asking what’s ‘correct’ #bouldering beta. This worked better.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Öoo. This search action thinker absolutely blew me away. A new favorite. I played Elechead last year, and with Öoo it's confirmed that I'll follow Nama Takahashi anywhere.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Monument Valley 3. Overall, a wonderful blend of vibes and puzzles, but maybe less on the puzzle side than the previous games. Fine for me, but better gamers be warned.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social , I #JustBeatIt Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. Another Shantae game completed. These games are always good, always surprisingly funny, always charming, and always packed with a great soundtrack. What can I say? Shantae is great.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Ghost of Yotei. This series continues to be the best open world games in the business. See a thing, go towards that thing, get distracted by other things on the way to that first thing. I don't Platinum many games, but I did this one.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Death Stranding 2. An absolute masterpiece. I've never played a game that goes so hard into absurdity but ends up trying things together so wonderfully. The final boss fight is an all timer.
