The Game Professor

I am going live with @gameprof.bsky.social and @redangelx3.bsky.social to talk about the games we played in 2025! Come and join! twitch.tv/levelstory

Guess whose on the @levelstory.bsky.social 's games we played in 2025 round up? It's me! And of course @gameprof.bsky.social !

We'll be discussing our games of 2025! This is always a fun time, so feel free to tune in if you wanna hear about what we've been playing!

Well now you have lol, and it's a very cool video!

Another fun idea from @redangelx3.bsky.social, exploring Greek concepts of love through the lens of Hamtaro.

Oh Red, I feel like you'd really love it lol. It's very good.

My understanding is that it simulates a desktop, which like... it functions to move the story forward, but fully lacks the feeling that you're actually messing with the game's files. Feels completely within the game's fiction.

YouTube video by Red Angel ILIA: Digimon Survive Review

Been meaning to play Digimon games for ages (as a huge Tamers fan), and the way @redangelx3.bsky.social talks about this one makes me want to give it a go.

Absolutely. My favorite horror trilogy by far, but just flat-out inaccessible to modern gamers. Don't understand why we haven't gotten a remastered trilogy release yet.

Oh for sure! It'd absolutely be in a top 20 for games I think are the best of all time from a more objective perspective, maybe even top 10, but my personal favorites lean much more toward games that engage me emotionally.

Portal is that for me. Like, it's perfect. I couldn't improve it if you gave me an infinite budget. And I do love it, but it's not like a top 10, or probably even top 20 for me. But it is flawless.

I'm not the kind of person who hates everything Final Fantasy has put out since X or anything, but I do hope the success of games like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Clair Obscur encourages the series to try turn-based combat again. I do kinda miss it.

😭😭😭

Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh

I don't know if this means you agree or disagree lol

YEAH. It's so much!! Too long, too drawn-out, completely out of touch with anything that's happening or what it means, just baffling. I didn't think I'd hate it THIS much.

I knew I might not like what they do with this, since the only thing I disliked about Remake was the meta Whispers stuff. But I wasn't prepared for how bad even the basic handling of it all would be. This is souring me on the entire game in retrospect.

I'm still in the process of the final fight of FFVII Rebirth (finally), but

I fucking hate this. I'm flabbergasted just how wildly they've missed the mark here. I expected them to pull some nonsense, but I didn't expect them to dramatically botch the most important moment of the whole damn story.

Mother Jones DONATE "Humans are out of alignment with the Earth and depleting its life force," she wrote the next month. "And human bodies are now exhibiting signs of blocking the flow of energy through them. This is insulin resistance. We are the Earth."

Well that's... sorta devastating. A lot of the best gaming content was made there, from insightful articles to hilarious videos. I hate how games media is being dismantled like this.

Heartfelt thanks and sorrow to the people affected. Y'all deserved better. ❤️

Kill the CEO in your head High-profile failures in the video game industry have changed how we talk about games for the worse

This is an exceptional piece for this moment in games.

I'm telling you all to go see The Legend of Ochi. It was delightful. Felt out of time, like an old VHS I'd have found lying around. Really magical experience, I loved it.

Heyyyyy maybe the animated category will actually have real winners now instead of just, "I didn't watch that kiddie shit, just check the Disney one."

New Devil May Cry show is pretty good? Fun time, until it's kinda heartbreaking and surprisingly political and timely. Enjoyed it.

I didn't think I'd be the type to like Blue Prince, but damn if I'm not 20 hours and 60 pages of notes in and having an absolute blast.

I thought the note-taking would be tedious & obtuse, but the feeling of finally realizing the key to a bunch of random things you've been noting is second to none.

Fiberoptic is NUTS. I still remember realizing that the upload speed was equal to download; videos that took 10 hours to upload before took like a minute. Love it.

Hey, so did I! Not too surprised by what I found there, but very surprised by what I found afterward lol

As someone who grew up with Humongous Entertainment games, no they absolutely the fuck should not... but also yeah I'd play it lol

Okay well good news, I have made progress! I'm still not sure what my ultimate goals will be, but I have a couple permanent changes and I figured out some VERY satisfying puzzling last night, so. I have 40+ pages of notes and I am having a blast.

Was Minecraft... bearable? I'm tempted out of gmer obligation and because I work with kids, but it looks so painful.
