I #justbeatit Persona 5 Royal. What an experience! I felt a real emotional connection to the characters. It took much of the play through to feel ok with all the systems, locations, mini games. I see the draw to play again; to relive the world. Master storytelling. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I just finished #StarTrekDiscovery. What a phenomenal show! It continues the tradition of exploration, hope and truth. I wish the writers, cast and crew the best in their futures.

I #justbeatit Okami HD. Showing age, but has good bones. Got lost a lot. Camera’s janky. Upgrade/items system bloated & not rewarding. Comps to Zelda are generous. However I loved the world & characters. I’m looking forward to Amaterasu’s next adventure. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social @capcomusa.com

Preordering is pain. Similar time with PS5, but I did get a switch2 (Best Buy), Pro controller and Mario Kart World physical (Walmart). Target was my preference but their site was borked. I now know why Nintendo waited, no way they’re ready for this. Best Buy was smooth. @bestbuysocial.bsky.social

I #JustBeatIt Paper Mario: TTYD. What a lovely cast of characters! Love the combat. Wish they had kept more in line with the original and allow multiple playable characters at a time, with more traditional jRPG roles (eg healer). Banger game! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social @blinkoom.bsky.social

I #justbeatit Super Mario RPG. Played before, first credits. The series starts with a bang! The timing mechanics are great. Truly felt like a journey. After Brothership landed like a fart in church, hope they can return to the original magic for inspiration next. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Late to the party, but I beat Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope. I was inspired to play listening to Patrick (Nintendo Cartridge Society). Reminds me of grinding Megaman 3. The knock back is brutal. Glad to experience an indie legend. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social @yachtclubgames.bsky.social

Toem! What an adorable little game! The vibes are real here. The music slaps. Experiencing this will just make you feel good. @swmgames.bsky.social @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Loved Astro Bot! What a fun experience. Now I just need to try and beat @blinkoom.bsky.social on one of the speedrun levels 😏 @playstation.com @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

I have more time to listen about video games on my commute, but I still played some great games this year. #adult Thanks to: Nintendo Cartridge Society @polykillpodcast.bsky.social @thewulffden.com @kitandkrysta.bsky.social @intothecast.bsky.social

I really enjoyed playing as Zelda in Echoes of Wisdom. The mix of exploration, puzzles and the new echo mechanic was exciting. Hope the next adventure has an improved way to organize skills. Would love a BOTW/TOTK version with Diablo necromancer vibes. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
