As we get closer to the end of the year, I’m trying to play only the finest 2025 game releases in an effort to finalize my Top 10 GOTY list. Some real gems among my recently played games 😏

How I’ve felt ever since we left 🥹

Fortunately you can reload chapters to grind out specific trophies. The list reminds me a bit of Uncharted. First playthrough, just enjoy the story and take your time through it. Then, replay certain parts to grind everything out. It really would be an awesome first Platinum to kickstart the list!

I’m going to check out the vod for this! A great game to kickoff the new Platinum journey, my friend!

I’m currently working on a video sharing why I’ve spent so much time this year playing games of the 360/PS3 era and before. I love a lot of recent modern games, but it’s been nice to play some older games recently too. Does anyone else miss focused, simpler 6-10 hr games?

All other games are temporarily shelved. We have important matters to attend to…

So excited to jump back in and replay Yooka-Laylee! 💜💚

ICYMI - I released a video celebrating Yooka-Laylee in anticipation of the remaster which releases TODAY on all gaming platforms! Tune in below to hear why I love this 3D platformer and why more folks should play it!

Happy birthday, Craig!!

It’s not perfect, but Yooka-Laylee reminded me why I fell in love with 3D platformers in the first place. My new video is a love letter to this underrated gem ahead of its remaster. I hope more folks give it a chance!

Very nice! I’m looking forward to picking up Pac Man World 2 soon! Can never have enough 3D platformers 😁

Ghost of Yotei looks absolutely stunning (to nobody’s surprise). Combat is incredibly immersive and cinematic. Story opens with a bang and has some real Kill Bill energy to it. Cannot wait to keep playing!

I somehow missed this reply, but my goodness! You’ve never played Banjo Kazooie? 😭 Thankfully there are so many ways to play it nowadays outside of the N64. I like Mario 64, but Banjo was one of the games that really solidified my love of 3D platformers. Definitely a must play, even today!

I can’t wait to see what games you start with on the new account…especially that first Platinum unlock 👀

Unfortunately I won’t be taking part this time around either. There’s a few new releases like Ghost of Yotei and the Yooka-Laylee remaster that’ll be too distracting for me 😅 Next time for sure!

The effort is never wasted imo! I always love seeing everything you create. I was just about to say, the Yoshi and Diddy Snack time you did for me years ago was technically my favorite 😁

I will absolutely take you up on that…I already have an idea in mind! 👀

This is one of my absolute favorites that you’ve done, Craig! Looks incredible!

I’ve been having a blast replaying and capturing footage of Yooka Laylee for my upcoming retrospective video. The demo of the Remaster also gives me confidence that many of the things that bothered people will be fixed. I hope more folks will give this game a chance in a few weeks! 💚💜

🏆 New Video is Live! 🏆

I share 10 of the #PlatinumTrophy I'm most proud of earning. From 100+ hour RPG grinds to tough first person shooters, there's a little bit of everything. Including Yooka Laylee & the Impossible Lair, which was...rough. Tune in below!

Mafia: The Old Country delivered the experience I was hoping for. A shorter 8-10hr experience, great story, fantastic voice acting, and a beautiful depiction of early 1900s Sicily. Gameplay feels very PS3/360 era, but that never bothers me. I enjoyed it! #JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I just read your Discord message 😞 I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through all of that, my friend. Definitely take your time getting back into the swing of streaming. I’m really looking forward to jumping and being as regular a viewer as I can be! Hang in there and stay strong buddy 💜

Thank you, my friend! Let me know if there’s anything that stands out. Would love to hear about any games you might pick up after watching 😁 Also, if there’s anything you expected to see but didn’t, let me know! Always looking for PS4 game recommendations as well!

Yooka Laylee’s redemption arc is already looking real sweet. I cannot wait to replay one of my absolute favorite 3D platformers of the past decade! I hope a lot more people show it some love this time around! 💜💚

The best kind of PS5 games are the ones where music immediately plays when you hover over the game icon. I knew Sword of the Sea was going to be great, but hearing a small snippet of Austin Wintory’s score gets me even more excited. Cannot wait to start it tonight!

I share Part 1 of my PlayStation 4 Collection. The PS4 is arguably my favorite console of all time, so there are plenty of games to talk about. AAA, indie gems, 3D platformers, RPGs and so much more. Tune in below!
