@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Spider-Man: Miles Morales - These spider-man games have perfected the free flowing combat style from the Arkham games, and traversal by web slinging is just as fun as combat. Excellent story, voice acting, & music. 10/10.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit COD: Black Ops 6 - This is the 1st COD Iβve played in probably 15 years. The shooter mechanics are elite, but the campaign is short and spends too much time on stealth and spy segments between action sequences. Needs more shooting in a longer campaign. 7/10.

Also - the fact that this was a pack in, shows how much BS it was that Nintendo charged $10 for their switch 2 welcome tour.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Astroβs Playroom - Your boy got a PS5! This pack in tech demo is a lot of fun, although Iβm not a fan of motion controls. Displays all the controller functions while taking a tour through PS history. 9/10.

So, my point is thereβs still plenty of time for tentpole releases. And there will be lots more βsmallβ great games in the meantime. Like exped. 33, for example.

Also - weβre still probably 3 years out from ps6, and many (most?) consumers are not early adopters. Example: I basically promised my wife this would be enough for me, console wise, for at least seven years. Most donβt have a problem upgrading in the middle of a console gen

I just bought a PS5 yesterday. I did so precisely bc of the games I canβt play on my Xbox. I donβt buy the doom and gloom over this console gen. There are way more games out there than I have time to play.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - This gated exploration platformer has excellent combat and some brutally challenging platforming sections. Such a great little game. Would welcome more shorter games like this, over the 100-150 hour albatrosses. 9/10

My most #Dad Habits:
Always check the mail when I get home from work
Obsessively monitor the weather
Change oil in vehicles right when it hits the mileage
Go around house turning lights off
Zero tolerance for exterior doors being left open for even a microsecond longer than it takes to come or go

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Balatro - Iβm late to this one, but oh my oh my oh myβ¦. Finished a run for the first time and Iβm just itching for more. Love this game. Itβs probably going to push out a couple of the bigger games Iβve been working through. 10/10

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Axiom Verge - Been working on this while taking breaks from a big RPG. S tier music, great 2D platformer gameplay, and creepy ambience make this *gated exploration* game the best version of Super Metroid, in my opinion. 9/10.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Octopath Traveler 2 - Been working on this beefy boy. Have been stuck on the final secret boss for a week. After my last run at him ended after an hour, I said fuck it. Calling it a beat. 8.5/10, improves on the first one. Elite JRPG gameplay.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Star Wars Outlaws - This game takes the Ubisoft formula (make all the things on the map disappear) and sets it in the Star Wars universe. Elite music, writing, and immersion with some great callbacks to the movies in a genuinely good original story. 9/10
