You have to admire the high effort of FMV games like Mansion of Hidden Souls (Sega CD), even while you lament the lack of engaging gameplay. This roughly 7-room "mansion" is 97% proto-walking sim, > 2% adventure game, & < 1% puzzles, & I #JustBeatIt. Nothing to recommend

Strikers 1945 on ps1 gives you a run for your money. Gives you a state of mind that you are in for a easy time and quickly shuts that down with bullet hell mechanics. Never got past level 6 in my teenage years but now I can say I beat it. 5/5 awesome shmup. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit
Yakuza Kiwami 3 keeps the main story intact, mostly, but completely changes up the side content. If you aren't interested in game gear games, obscure Sega arcade games, and running an orphanage on the beach, then you may want to skip this one. I enjoyed it. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
Special shout to @vayar.bsky.social and @theeliteinstitute.net for completing the Polyquest challenge!

It's March and that means another PK March Madness is here! Who lives, who dies as Trav and Steve pit video game characters against each other in a no holds barred bracket tournament.

My understanding of VVVVVV, that it's a platformer with a gravity flip mechanic instead of jumping, sold this game extremely short. Now I understand why it's an indie darling: it's terrific with a banging soundtrack! I #JustBeatIt & am anxious to find the last trinkets.

#justbeatit Gradius (NSO). This is one tough shooter. Each level starts the same way so I also thought I wasn’t making progress for awhile, but I don’t play many retro games so I’m likely an idiot. Glad I played it on the Switch @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
#justbeatit Wide Ocean Big Jacket. A pretty funny visual novel about an extended family camping trip with some mild sexual exploration. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
#justbeatit Abzû. An underwater journey about vibes with light exploration. The controls weren’t as tight as I would have liked, but the music and sea vibes were solid @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit Chicory: A Colorful Tale (switch 2) Played this coop with my daughter and we both fell in love even though every drawing turned into a poop joke. A memorable experience filled with goofy characters and endless creativity. 9/10
#justbeatit Sheepo. I discovered this short metroidvania thanks to @indiequestpod.com . Fun abilities and platforming and I’m cool with no real combat. The controls were a bit unintuitive at times and the map wasn’t the easiest to navigate but otherwise a fun jaunt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.38 The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (NSW). What a fantastic game! My son and I thoroughly enjoyed using the Echoes to try and find solutions for all the puzzles. Exploring and combat is a lot of fun too with loads of stuff to do. Highly recommended!
38) Bomberman 2
This was a pretty good NES game. The one has a great visual style, pretty good weapons, and some cool weapons. The one thing I didn’t like in this one was how you had to keep destroying random blocks to find the exit in each level.

#justbeatit Lovish. I think this game harkens back to a genre in which I am unfamiliar. Many of the jokes slipped right past me and I found the gameplay to be either too easy and uninteresting or frustrating and uninteresting. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #justbeatit What Remains of Edith Finch (beaten by Fitgnat last episode cycle). This game has been talked about so much by so many of my friends (and @calebjross.com even wrote a book about it) but none of it prepared me for this. What a story! Must play!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit BLAST CORPS (NSO) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Am I doing this skeeting thing right? I'm popping my beatskeeting cherry, so be nice.
Anyway, I'll tell you what is nice... this game! I'm not even sure I properly beat it the last time I played as I don't remember the obscure ...
It's that time of the year again!
