You know what, I did dig into this a while back but never finished it! Never made the DKC connection with it being a 3D platformer, might have to check it out again

Thatโ€™s Nikoderiko finished up! Which I think means Iโ€™ve played all of the indie DKC-likes?

If anyone knows of any more, point me in their direction! Got the Donkey Kong Country itch since finishing Bananza

Played it for the first time last month, what an incredible game! Eyeing up that DLC now as well

Iโ€™m sad that it seems to be the follow-up to the original Darksiders, and not the Strife solo game, but Iโ€™m not going to grumble at new Darksiders

Genuinely can not believe that I missed the news that weโ€™re finally getting Darksiders 4

The interview equivalent of a stranger's dog coming up to you and being told "oh my dog doesn't normally like people!"

Perfect time to have started playing DKC3 for the first time then!

This was back when a lot of my MH issues were work related though, so appreciate you might be in a different situation!

From personal experience with this, often taking even more time off can make things worse. The longer I was away, the more I dreaded going back, which definitely exacerbated the issue

Finished Bananza last night, and this game is a love letter to Rareโ€™s Donkey Kong games. Iโ€™m genuinely so chuffed with that. Spent years hoping for a third DKC game from Retro but I think Bananza has filled that hole. Adored it

Seems that people don't like Mega Dragonite despite it clearly being a perfect mega evolution design

Wasnโ€™t prepared for how much Bananza would hit me nostalgia wise. DKC is one of the first games I ever remember seeing or playing, and Iโ€™m shocked how clear it is that the team loves it too. I really thought this might be a reboot, a chance to wipe DKC away, but not at all. Great stuff

No problem! For what itโ€™s worth Tom, thank you for letting me interview for VideoGamer ten years ago, your feedback gave me a lot of confidence, probably wouldnโ€™t have kept trying to get into the industry without it

This is the answer. That HDR screen with the suns in the Switch 2 settings just doesnโ€™t work without HGIG turned on for your TV. Once someone told me that, much easier to calibrate

DK has that pure Nintendo magic, no one does it like them when they're firing on all cylinders

It's a bit more themed than the ones you listed but I've never laughed at a podcast as much as This Paranormal Life
