@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered! That old school gameplay with a shiny coat of paint! Still buggy, still fun! Felt good to cap this one off after dropping it years ago on the 360. No credits roll, so plz accept a humble Platinum trophy 🏆
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Metroid Prime Remastered! A really solid remaster! I hadn't played since it came out on the GameCube, but it was still just as fun as I remember! I hope Nintendo drops the updates to the other Primes before 4 comes out!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog! A charming, little whodunnit mixed with an endless runner! And free! Not very tough or long but it's a good few hours of fun!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Yoku's Island Express! Such a joy! Cross a Metroidvania with pinball and voila! I really liked the art style and music; it makes you feel like you're on a tropical island! Definitely worth a play!
#JustBeatIt Astro Bot, an amazing follow-up to Astro's Playroom! The platforming is smooth and the levels have lots of variety! It was also fun seeing all the PlayStation memorabilia they throw at you! The game isn't overly easy either; some levels had me sweating! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
Ooh good call! Might be good for a future bingo square or challenge 😉
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Undertale but I didn't get the good ending! Honestly I wasn't a huge fan of the bullet hell gameplay, but it was a goofy little narrative otherwise! I may or may not go back for the pacifist route; let me know if it's worth it!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Theaterhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call on 3DS! I'm not great at rhythm games but I can't say no to Final Fantasy tunes! The gameplay is a bit simpler than others in the genre which helps!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga! If you love Star Wars and the goofy retellings that the Lego games do you'll enjoy this one. The gameplay is a bit shallow, but there is lots to do with all 9 movies! Tons of collectibles if you're into that, too!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Final Fantasy IV (DS)! This one was a longtime coming. Dusted off a decade+ old save and polished it off! Tough time last fight! FFIV itself is a classic and if you love a vanilla jrpg, it was one that set that standard with a grand story and excellent music!
Great job on 5! Def one of my favorites!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt The Messenger! Got halfway through a few years back but dropped it halfway through. Gave it a restart and wow! A challenging game, but still doable! The music is banging with tongue-in-cheek writing!
Starting the 5th and last round of chemo!
Leaving this here for reasons youtu.be/Y6ljFaKRTrI?...
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt I'm the last person on Earth to beat Portal! What a treat! Just a genius game and it made me smile to hear all the cultural references the game spawned. Looking forward to the sequel!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Batography free on Steam! Very charming, quick beat! A great pick for the 'If everyone else jumped off a cliff' bingo square if needed!
This time I played the version on Steam and it ran pretty well on the Steam Deck! I'm not positive but I think that version also has some of the extra content from the Nintendo DS version so that might be interesting for a new playthrough!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt I beat Chrono Trigger again! It's been a few years since I've played it and I was craving something cozy! I don't think one of the greatest games of all time needs any further review; just go play it or replay it!!!
You can definitely feel it in the gameplay! Also in the music! Sometimes in town you forget it's not Tristram!
Howdy @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Torchlight! Lots of the first Diablo DNA. It doesn't have much more depth than its inspiration, but it's not too long. If you're jonesing for a game like that first Diablo it'll satisfy that craving!
Round 4 begins! One more after this!
@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom! The echo mechanic was fun and a neat twist to the traditional puzzles and combat. The art style of these last couple Zeldas has also been real charming. Def worth playing for any series fan ❤️
Round 3! Almost halfway through!

The most embarrassing thing about this post is I that forgot Gadget’s name and so I googled “Hot mouse from rescue rangers.”
Adored the first game! Excited to see all the hard work you and the rest of the team have put into this one!
Now that I’m here in bluer skies I’m happy to say again:
I am the Ghost of Yōtei. 💛
About to start my first round of chemo 😩
