Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the video gamers podcast.
You ever had a game that just randomly pops into your head?
Maybe it's an old game you remember from childhood.
Maybe it's that forgotten game that you've been meaning to play forever.
Or maybe it's simply because it's just got a weird name.
Whatever the reason.
we all have those random games
that come to mind from time to time
and on this episode
that's what we're going to be covering
get ready for the weird
the out there and the
what the heck is this game
but first some introductions
are in order
I am your host Josh
and joining me
he may have a one track mind
because when we ask for his list
he said it's the battlefield closed beta
the battlefield technical test
the Battlefield Open beta, and the Battlefield 6 full release.
It's Ryan.
You know, that may not be far from the truth.
It was very hard.
I'm like, I can't think of any other games I've been thinking about.
This is like, this is it, dude.
This is all that my brain is that.
We have one-track minds right now.
Our minds are absolutely one-track minds.
My wife's probably listening in the other room going,
what's your one-track mind?
Battlefield 6, baby, Battlefield 6.
Don't worry, honey.
Don't worry.
Oh, man.
And joining us, he thinks he's so edgy because he gave us his list and then asked if we had ever heard of any of him.
He thinks he's so cool with his indie games and his niche games list.
Oh, and I did know two of them.
So eat it.
It's ace.
Okay.
To be fair to me, once again, I have brought lists before you guys before.
And every single one, we were like,
I have never heard of a single one of these,
and I have to just, like, lead y'all through the mud blindfolded.
Because that's what those games usually are, is they're mud.
Oh, don't you miss my child.
Oh, man.
Oh, that's so good.
You don't get to talk about mud when I looked at one of your games, and we'll get to that.
Oh, Ace's firing shots back.
Chellis.
I knew one of Aces games.
I will say, I knew one.
Did you?
Yeah.
I was curious.
I knew two of them.
Maybe three, actually.
I've heard of the name of another one, but like I never really like.
Yeah, so two.
That counts.
If you've heard the name, that's enough.
You couldn't pick it out of a crowd.
It doesn't count.
Pick it out at the grocery store.
All right, guys, before we get into our random weird crazy games that just come to mind of,
I'd like to equate this episode to the Great Roman Empire, right?
Like, people asked there was this big thing that came up.
When's the last time you thought about the Great Roman Empire?
Roman Empire. And it's like most
men say like, yeah, almost every day.
What are you talking about?
That just shocked people.
But that's what this, that's these games.
It's like they just randomly pop in your head.
Doesn't mean they're good, doesn't mean they're bad.
But for some reason, they just occupy space from time to time in our brains.
We don't know why, but we're going to put them in front of you all out there so that you can,
you know, maybe, maybe have them take space in your brain too.
But before we get to that.
guys we got some people to thank man we had a guys we had a few people sign up to support the podcast
we had jacob whit who signed up we had jay who signed up and we had a guy by the name of ace so
there's more than one of you now scared me signed up all of them for rarest ace is like i didn't
authorize this. I was like way, way, way, way, way. For rare status. So Jacob Witt,
Ace and Jay, thank you all so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Never met a bad
ace. Really do appreciate it. And it means the world to us. It keeps this podcast going.
So if anybody else out there wants to be like Jacob, Ace and Jay, there's a link in the
episode description. It takes about two minutes to sign up. You will be a supporter of the show.
and knowing that you were bringing some of the best gaming content in the world to everybody out
there. So thank you guys. All right, guys. So we put a list together. This was kind of a fun list
because I just went, bro, these games live in my head. I don't need. This is not a hard list to come up
with at all for me. Ryan, I just want to start with you, man. Because at first, Ryan was like,
guys, I don't, I'm having a hard time with my list. And then we were like, bro, what like games?
just occupy space in your head for
no reason. And then he was like,
oh, okay, I got it.
Well, I do want to preface this, too,
is when we talked about this,
we said that we weren't going to do games
that were like big mainstays,
like really kind of
AAA mega titles,
you know, then it just, those things
are always there, you know, so
we try to, yes, we're trying to stay
away from the AAAs, the god of wars,
the Grand Theft autos, the
cyberpunks, you know, those types of games.
because, let's be honest, they occupy space and everybody's head out there.
There's no reason for us to cover those.
So we are, we did try to say be a little bit more vague or, you know, niche as far as
some of these options.
So yes, if you don't think, don't think we're crazy is what we're saying just because
of these games that we're bringing up.
You probably still will, but here, you know, here we are.
Yeah, I mean, that's fair.
Here we are.
Guys, it was really hard for me to find games that weren't AAA.
I got to be.
Oh, yeah.
Whatever.
I know.
I was struggling, man.
Whatever.
That's what we do, like, do a AAA one.
And then Ace would be like, guys, I can't, I can't do it.
I need help.
It's like, I played Red Dead this year.
Does that kill?
Battlefield 6.
Yeah, Battlefield 6.
Yeah, Battlefield 6 will be Ace's second AAA game.
Yeah, ever, of all times as he's ever played.
All right, all right, I'm going to start.
So, this game is one that I definitely, I think about often, not only because it is one that was, in my opinion, influential.
to kind of this genre
or this type of game,
but also it's just genuinely enjoyable
and then it created a setting
that you could always picture it happening.
I'm going with VR
Super Hot.
Oh, yeah.
Super Hot's such a good game.
This one, and it is.
And people have messaged us
about it on our Discord.
If you haven't joined, check it out.
It's an amazing Discord.
But people have messaged me and talked about,
oh, I love Super Hot,
but I haven't checked it out in VR.
I could not imagine playing this in any other platform other than virtual reality.
It is one of the coolest, most immersive style games that I think about constantly
because you can just move and shift.
And every time you do that, like time moves.
So the bullets are coming at you.
Enemies are coming at you.
There's just so much there that lends itself to be a really, really unique experience
every time you play.
so yeah that's that's one of mine for sure it is it is a is a top that is always in my cranium here for
sure is it significantly better in VR compared to just playing it on PC well I've never played it
on any other platform but I could not I could not imagine not because you're you're sitting
there and people who are watching on video if you're not you should be um you're you're seeing
bullets coming at this way or that way and you can like lean slightly and then you
know it's going to miss you and then you can pick up like a coffee cup and throw it at the guy
or you can set your gun in front of the bullet coming and it'll block it and then you can shoot
the other guy like so there's there's a million different ways to like get through these levels um
but i couldn't imagine playing it in anything other than VR but yeah the the VR mode is what
just lives in my head rent free man for sure it's the only way i can see playing super hot
honestly and it really really thrives in the VR environment and there's no motion
sickness because you are not moving it's just the things around you that are moving yep so i super hot's
one of those games it's like beat saber if you have a vr headset and you haven't played those two games
those are the two yeah yeah like you're missing out on like what makes vr really neat and it's like
the beginning levels of vr for people where you can really kind of go like whoa this is really cool
and then you can kind of start branching out but those two are like the staple games for any
VR system, man.
Yep, yep, yeah.
I've almost bought a VR just for super hot, honestly.
Yeah, it's, it's really that good.
And like you said, Ryan, when you start to realize, like, oh, I can do all these different
things and you're kind of, you're only held back by like your imagination to a certain
degree.
Yes.
Yeah.
You have stuff around you.
You could, like, grab it and toss it that way and try to time it to, like, hit
that bullet so it doesn't hit you.
And then, yeah, there's just, there's so much there.
So, yeah, that one I think about all the time.
yeah all right ace what you got man all right i'm gonna start this off this is a nintendo switch
exclusive game which is the only reason i don't still play it constantly is astral chain
it is developed by the same people who did like bayonetta so it's a hack and slash but it takes
place in a cyberpunk city where you play as cops who control these chimeras on chains
and you use the chain not only in combat while you're controlling both yourself and the chimera
but use it in like puzzle solving as well because the chain is the main mechanic and it's just so freaking cool.
I think about it all the time, like how cool it was that they worked this chain into just regular gameplay and as well as the combat where you're, you send the chimera out.
It wraps around whatever you're trying to fight and then they're chained in place while you're fighting them and you can let off a counterattack.
But aside from the actual combat, there's also puzzles and investigations because you're a cop.
like what else you get it to do i watched the trailer for this because i've heard of this game before
and i was like i know i know this name like i feel like i've heard of this title but i don't know
that i ever saw gameplay on this one at all but this one actually looks pretty good man so good dude
i love it you can tell the kind of button mashy combat like you said like with bayonetta
there there is definitely like an artistic flare to it it looks a little older because you can
also tell like the polygon counts a little bit lower kind of thing i don't realize this was a
switch exclusive, um, which is kind of crazy. But the game overall to me, I was like,
okay, I'm kind of in on this, man. Like, there's a reason it was only on the switch.
Yeah. It was very, all right, buddy. What do you think the reason was? Oh, what was the reason?
Oh, wait, just save it. A, save it for Ryan's next one. You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a
Nintendo exclusive?
Yeah, for a reason.
But yeah, when we talk about like chaos games and games that just pop into our head,
this is one of them.
Yeah.
Is it just because the chain?
Is that like the,
that's like the neat mechanic that your brain just keeps remembering?
Yeah, it's like such a unique mechanic that I don't, you haven't seen it anywhere else.
That's something when, yeah, when you have like some sort of unique attack ability or
something that always kind of sticks in your head because you don't see it often in a lot
of other games um yeah that that totally makes sense of why that's one that just kind of sticks there
i mean it does i was giving you hard time it looks pretty neat like and i'm sure uh playing something
unique that way like with with a different mechanic that is not common you know is is enjoyable
and it will stick with you so my first game is a game that i actually haven't played um since
we're just kind of going with uh you know games that pop into mind here and i haven't played it and i'll be
honest, I freaking loved the first game in this one. So I don't know how somehow I have not
freaking played the sequel to this, but Dishonored 2. Dude, Dishonored is amazing. It is such a good
game. If you haven't played Dishonored, you're missing out on a really, really memorable
game. I remember when they announced Dishonored 2 and you could play, see, you're missing out,
Ryan. Dishonored is fantastic. I'll get all these powers. Like, think like, think Bioshock in a sense.
with the different abilities that you can get.
But then they have this really awesome
like traversal teleport function.
You get to unlock these different abilities.
It's in this kind of like,
I don't know, like a steampunk-ish kind of universe.
You're an assassin, like, stealthy dude named,
is it Corso?
Corvo. Corvo Atano.
Corvo. There you go. Corvo.
Dishonor 2 comes to mind all the time for me
because it is like the one game where I go,
bro, why haven't I played this yet?
I think the issue is that most people say dishonored 2 was not as good as dishonored,
but like that's okay because dishonored's so freaking good that it's hard to top that.
If I want more dishonored, why not go to Dishonored 2?
Why haven't I played this game?
Like, this is, it just drives me crazy.
And when we did our Zones Levels episode where we did the most memorable, bro, if you Google search,
I mean like 70% of the responses were a level that is in Dishonored 2, which I was like,
I'm missing out.
Yeah, apparently there's some insane level in Dishonor 2 where it's like in like really incredibly memorable.
Over Halo 3 Wordhog?
Yeah, dude.
Like look it up.
Just do a Google search and like so many people are like Dishonor 2.
It's like, is it the clockwork?
I don't know.
Anyway.
The point being that every now and then my brain just goes, dude.
Are we ever going to play Dishonored 2?
And then I go, oh, yeah, we should.
And then we just don't.
I don't know why it keeps coming up.
But, like, just randomly this happens.
So at some point, I need to play Dishonor 2.
It's supposed to be great.
Like, it's not like this is a terrible sequel.
I think it just was not as good as the first.
But there you go, man.
That's one of those games that just lives in my head because I go, I need to just,
if nothing else, just get it.
Play it for like an hour and then be like, there, brain.
There you go.
Check it out.
There you go.
We did it.
listen if anybody out there has played dishonored too and you want to convince me to play it it
won't take much but i need somebody to just be like bro you should play this game and then
you know it's like okay twist my arm kind of thing but yeah that's my first one guys we're
going to take a quick break and then we'll come back with some more uh kind of random
random brain games we'll be right back all right we're back guys it just had another game
pop in my head during the break there so it's like this is why this is why man it's like you don't
have to think about these all right ryan what's your what's the next game on your list uh the next
one i got is one that we actually just recently played in a beta and i i keep you know it just keeps
popping up over and over and over in my head um and i'm not sure why maybe it's because of
frustration or anticipation of what i expected or what i want to happen with it but i'm going
with a wild gate uh yeah i i i get that dude yeah i i had i get that yeah i had a lot of confused fun
like i was i was it's hard to describe we we played it we weren't exactly sure how how to do this
or what to do or how to battle and in in ship to ship battle and then how the best uh strategory for
the level but all i know is every time we hopped in we had a blast it was
confusing it was crazy but it was it was good every time we hopped in it was fun and enjoyable he
played with paul ace played you know me and josh you know everybody played so man it was one of
those that uh it stuck with me and i keep thinking about it like i wonder where that's at what's going
on with it and it just pops up kind of almost daily in my head dude i get this ryan i get this
i think i know the answer like at least in my brain at least it's like we had a ton of fun
this was not the full release
but it was basically the
I mean it was so close to release
they're not changing very much
I think the issue with Wildgate
is is that it is very very
fun with friends and in a short
dose you know like we could play
two three four matches but I worry
about the longevity of Wildgate
where it's like I don't know that this game
I would play it for more than like two weeks
kind of thing yeah and it's weird because
there were a lot of people in our community
that were all on that open beta for
Wildgate and we're really hyping it up
and think, guys, this is a ton of fun. And I have not heard a whisper, a whisper of this game since
it released either. So it makes me worry that it's like really fun for the short term, but not the
long term. And I had a $40 price tag, you know, at the same time, which I think, I think a lot of
people said, this feels like it should be a free to play game. Yes. You know, and then I can pay for
cosmetics and upgrades and things like that. But I think that's why it honestly. But I'm with you
and that it's like, I do get the itch to be like, man, it'd be fun if we could jump in.
Yeah, exactly.
But I don't want to, I don't want to pay the $40.
And I really don't think I would play it for very long either.
So I don't know.
It's a, it is, it is a catchy.
Like, there is something about like, the playtime that, like, draws you in.
Like, I'm like, I don't really, I don't really want to play this game a lot.
But like, I also kind of want to play this game a lot, you know?
So it's, yeah, it's that weird kind of just the position, like, where you're just, like, kind of in the middle zone.
So. Yeah.
All right, Ace, Ace, Ace, what's the next.
one up for you buddy all right next one for me when we're talking about games that just pop into my head
every now and then it's got to be odd world stranger's wrath and it's for a very specific reason it's
because when i was first being introduced to video games my uncle would pop this into his xbox and
play it all the time and i was just so enraptured by it every time i saw it in stranger's wrath you
play as the stranger as you capture bounties in order to pay for a surgery
And the unique thing is you can capture the bounties alive for more money,
which way harder, way harder.
Or you can just kill them dead.
But your ammo is live ammo that you gather from the environments.
So you'll gather these like rabid, fuzzy teeth monster things called fuzzles.
Or you'll grab these shock scorpions or things like that and you'll just fire them at enemies.
You can set traps.
Is this why I saw animals riding on the gun all the time?
Yeah, it's a crossbow that fires live ammo.
Okay. That makes way more sense to me now because I was like, why is there like a spider riding on this gun?
And then it was a different animal at another point. And then I was like, what? I'm not going to lie, this game looks super weird to me.
It's super weird. I don't know when this game came out. It looked weird. And I was like, why is this coming into Ace's mind randomly?
And you'll swap between a third person view for platforming and the first person view for, you know, fighting. But like, the best part is just the voice acting for me because the stranger has the deepest.
Western voice. He's like,
I gotta get to town and get that pack rat
paluca. Like, I remember. Oh, this game has rats.
That's right. Oh. That was just the name. It was just the name,
all right? It does have that. It explains it. It does have squirrels. The squirrels are really
I was going to say, I'm pretty sure I saw part of the trailer where there was a squirrel
riding on the gun and then I was like, okay, say no more. It all makes sense.
It all makes sense. Yeah. I love this game, man. This game is just like always on my mind.
So this is like a bounty game.
yeah like you're yeah see that that to me like i always for whatever reason i remember playing so
many having for you know that bounty aspect always draws me in you know so like you know
whatever kind of the world you're in having that you got to go get this guy and then if you
can capture my life it's worth double the money you know i'm i'm in every time so something
like this uh definitely piques my interest when when did this thing come out oh it's all
Oh, 2010.
It's old.
It's old.
It's 15 years old.
And it looks old.
And it plays old, but I still love it.
You can't also visit live bounties in the jail, which is cool.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
Yeah.
It's a cool game.
All right.
Next up for me, guys, this is, I'll be amazed if anybody has heard of this game.
It's a game called Vaporum.
I found this game because I love the Legend of Grimrock games,
Legend of Grim Rock 1 and 2.
These are the old dungeon crawler style first person grid-based type games a la
eye of the beholder way back in the day.
And so I found this game called Vaporum that looked very, very similar.
It is a steampunk dungeon crawler.
So there's technology in these, which normally these are like fantasy kind of based games.
But there is something about the grid-based dungeon crawlers that I absolutely love.
I don't know if it's just nostalgia because it's like this is kind of what I grew up on.
There are strategy elements.
There are puzzles.
There are like observation stuff.
Like you're kind of going to a dead end and you're like something looks weird.
I can't.
Oh, wait.
This brick has a different highlight color.
And then you click it and it's a button that opens up a secret door and then there's like a treasure room behind it kind of thing.
So you're always like paying attention to your environment.
The combat is like live.
So Ryan, you would like these because they're not turn-based combat.
combat, but they are slow where you actually have to activate your abilities, but then using
movement, because everything's on a grid, you're trying to position to where they can't shoot you
because this one mob only shoots forward or something like that. So there's some like tacticalness
to it too. Guys, I love these kind of games. They're super fun to just get lost in for a little
while. And the best part about this is Vaporum is $1.99 on Steam right now. So if you want to spend two
to get some really good entertainment and maybe try a different style of game it's a good right honestly
legend of grim rock is better so if you're going to pick up one pick up legend of grim rock one or two
but vaporum caught me off guard because it was a very well done uh entry into this genre that
doesn't really exist anymore so i can't recommend it enough it is different enough that for
anybody that has not played a game like this in a while it will feel very unique to you which is
hard to do nowadays as well and for a buck 99 you can't go wrong and it holds up man the graphics
are decent the puzzles are fun the combat's good Ryan's laughing at me because he's like this game
looks so old and I've never seen a game like this in my life Josh coming from the graphics snob
which is ridiculous no no those are fine okay you know listen it's a dollar 99 because it's
90% off like what okay yeah 90% what what have you
ever bought that was of quality
that was 90% off
that's what I want to know
well I mean this game's been out
for a while man yeah those two dollars
add up over a don't forget steam
takes 30% of that two bucks
that's awful
oh man
we gotta move on what's
what's the next one and Ryan if you don't talk about
war gods on this next one before we run out
of time I'm bringing it up for you Ryan
tell us why war gods is your next game
Okay, War God's is a game
That's...
My eyes!
My eyes!
Yeah, I'm talking about my eye.
Listen, I get it.
I get it.
It is 1990s, like, mid-90s,
development,
Nintendo 64.
But, man, this game has stuck with me forever.
Much like, I mean, it looks like Aces'
pixelation we got going on right now with his screen.
So, this one for me,
was something that stuck with me
ever since I was a little kid
this came out like I said in the mid-90s
you can be a bunch of
gods that you can fight and battle
again these are these are just games that stick in our heads
and this is one of those
anubis I've always been an ancient
Egyptologist type kind of guy
I love I'm fascinated with that world
and that history
this one stuck with me because you could be a
nubis and you could play as anubis and the attacks and the way you could you know do everything and
it was like the kind of uh street fighter all these other ones so yeah anyways i loved it it was great
it's stuck in my head these guys are going to roast me now so go ahead how could you tell it was
anubis at 480 p yeah dude when the when the game play you're lucky if it's 480 you're lucky
if it's 480 yeah at 4 there was one stage where the background of the stage was so blurry that
I could not make out where the characters were and the background stopped.
I couldn't tell.
And I was like, okay, this might be one of the worst visually represented games I've ever seen.
And now, I know you love Anubis, Ryan, but the thing that killed me the most, and I even message Eunice and bro cracking up at this trailer is because like they went, look, it's Egypt.
We got to have something for these moves.
We don't know what to do.
So one of his special moves is he fires out a triangle because it looks like a pyramid.
is this like this was like
that is where I lost my stuff
man and it's just this blue triangle
that shoots out from the guy
and starts spinning around the other character
and I'm like
do you not know Egypt stuff
where this is the only thing you could think of
was like what does Egypt have
well they have pyramids yeah we can't use those guys
what about a triangle
send it it's a triangle all I know is at the end of the day
Anubis wins
I never heard of this
fighting game in my life that's what's crazy of cracking me up this is what this is what this is
too for um like there's so many games and and please if you're in our discord or on socials
or anything let us know yours because there's a million that people have never heard of
especially on old systems like old n64 PlayStation there's tons of games that nobody even
knows about but but you remember like vividly so if you do please let us know because
like this is one of those for me.
I know it's horrible.
I know it's bad and it was just like a super off market fighting game,
but I love it and I think about it all the time.
I love that I'd never heard of this and then I got to watch this trailer and just laugh
because it was so bad.
It's so bad.
The moves look terrible.
The voice acting is horrible.
And then they had cheesy moves like shooting up triangle because the guys from Egypt.
So, you know, and that wasn't the only one.
Some of the other characters,
like oh my gosh man this is
the voodoo guy shit's a bath this looked like
it was like a middle school project for
like developing a game or something
all right
we're running out of time guys
last one for me is
oh wait ace yeah let me just go
real quick uh kiwi
is the last one I had on here which
is a cute game it's adorable I remember
this game it looks a freaking adorable
dude it is a great little
co-op puzzle game that you can play with your friends
or partner where you play as
Kiwis in New Zealand who run a post office and every now and then I just think about how
much fun I had playing this with my spouse and I want to go back even though we finished all
the content I I remember seeing this game it looks like a really fun co-op game it I there's a
part of me that it's like is this like overcooked where you're going to wind up just like yelling at
each other because it gets hard later on you will get a little bit yeah overcooked is like a marriage
just ruin her man like you can't play that with like your spouse or
he's like as cute as it is I was like is this just going to ruin relationships here
why are you cutting the onions over here I'm trying to cut the onions dishes I need dishes
I need dishes I'm going to fall the trash all right last one for me this is an obscure one
I'll be surprised if people have heard this but this is a game called kings bounty
The Legend, which is a Heroes of Might and Magic clone, basically.
Now, there was a time where all of these games were all the rage.
Heroes of Might and Magic took these where you are basically trying to conquer a land.
You go out into the world and a overworld kind of overhead map.
You explore, you find resources and army units and things like that.
You usually have a city that you take over.
And then you can upgrade that city so that you can produce new units and things like.
that anybody that's played any of the hero of might magic games knows what this genre is hands down um some
games have taken a little bit further where it's a little bit more tactical or on the resource or the
strategy side i prefer the arcade style ones and man if king's bounty the legend doesn't fit that guys
i looked at this i have 80 hours in this game dude whoa and i haven't a lot for you dude
years dude but i'm telling you it is came out in 2008 dude it is the best mix of like having
different uh like classes and races to where you can be like demons or necromancers or elves or
whatever each race has its own units which are really really fun you can acquire other races units
like temporarily and stuff so it's really cool but it's arcady ish to where you don't get so bogged down
in like the unit management
and your city management
and stuff like that
the combat was just a ton of fun
the variety of units was great
it looks old at this point
I get that it's kind of dated
but my goodness man
if this wasn't just a really good time
for anybody that likes this genre
and keeping with my trend
of really cheap games guys
this game is one dollar
on GOG right now
one dollar
a dollar four on Steam
yeah $1 for on
sorry don't forget
that four cents there guys you know ace and i were ready i mean bro for a dollar you're gonna get
at least five six hours before you go man this game's kind of old at this point but i love these
kind of games because it's it feels like you're playing like a fantasy like army simulator where
and you can get like mega units you know to where they're really really strong and they're crushing
all the little guys you've got like heroes that can cast spells over the whole battlefield and
stuff i don't know i just i find the genre really fun
from time to time so I'm watching this and I feel like I'm like 13 playing like PlayStation again
like that's what it feels like exactly but there's kind of like it's what it looks like it pops in
my head from time to time because it's a different genre than what I normally play and when I
think about this kind of like man that'd be fun to go and find those uh you know liches for my army
that I found that one time that we're wrecking everything you know it's like this game just
pops in a mind from time so no it's like how almost every screenshot it's just guy on horse
in different place that that well that's the overworld map that's part of that's the where you're
exploring and trying to find new units and new cities to conquer and new races that you come
across and stuff like that all right listen we're we're super low on time guys give me we don't
have time to get into them but what else is on your list just give me a title i had high-fi rush
because i've never played high-fi rush everyone tells me you should play that so good and i just
haven't gotten to it you should play that salt and sanctuary is on my list because i absolutely
love salt and sanctuary and even though the art style is rough yeah i know hard
Metroidvania. A Souls like Metroidvania, even better. Yeah, that sounds, yeah. And then finally, one more Metroidvania through Lyca Age through Blood. That's a crazy. Anybody that's played excite bike that you want excite bike with guns and blood, and aren't you like a weird animal? What is? You're a Fox. Yeah, you're a Fox. Yeah. So a Fox riding a dirt bike with guns and lots of gore. That's a weird one ace. I actually played that one. It's not a bad game. It's really good. It's a good motorvania, for sure. Let's take.
I'm real simple.
Ace and his Motovanias, Petmetia, what's the other one?
Petrovenius.
I didn't make that one.
What did you call?
Yeah, I can't.
Motovania.
Ace, you're banned.
You're banned from any vania puns moving forward on this podcast.
Oh, man.
All right.
What else was on your last round?
Just one more.
I just had Roller Crocer Tycoon, too.
I drowning, yeah, see, the music.
I don't know if you were doing the music from roller coaster.
Yeah, Ace was.
It's in my head, building, crafting, like, doing all the things you can do.
Like, it is one of those that if you're into that type of game, it still stands up.
Like, being able to create the roller coasters and doing all that stuff, it's, it's, you know, longevity is unmatched.
So I love it.
Never played it, but they look like fun.
Oh, it's so good.
And I could see the allure of, like, just designing a new coaster and seeing how it does.
You do the shuttle coaster like this?
that's supposed to come back down.
But then you crank up the speed and then it goes and everyone just launches into the...
It just flies off.
Yeah, they just launch in a lake.
You launch them into the lake and get a lawsuit.
Yeah.
Last one for me is a very cute game called the Book of Unwritten Tales 2.
This is an old school point and click adventure with a really charming art style, very charming
characters, neat puzzles to overcome.
It is very, very much an old school point and click adventure, but it's a modern take on that
genre. I remember seeing this getting really excited about it. I bought it. I played it. And I was
like, bro, this has taken me back. And it's really well done. So of anybody that is looking for
something completely different, insanely charming with good characters, story and puzzles and things
like that. The book of Unwritten Tales, too, is a really strong recommend for me for that genre of
games. So nice. All right. Well, listen, we want to hear what your random games are.
