177: Starfield
We have liftoff! Starfield is the long-awaited spacefaring RPG that's dizzying in its scope, depth, variety and possibility. It’s also an uneven and characteristically idiosyncratic Bethesda experience - but 40 hours in, my journey has been packed with awe-inspiring moments, and has inspired a very pure kind of gaming satisfaction.

Thanks for listening!
176: Fort Solis & Starfield
Fort Solis is an atmospheric sci-fi mystery set on the dark side of Mars. It ramps up the suspense masterfully in the opening stages, and has an interesting story to tell, but is held back by some narrative ambiguity, egregious QTEs, and somewhat basic gameplay.
Also: Starfield impressions, three hours in, and a first look at Sea of Stars.

175: Shotgun King, Adore, Gamescom '23 Most-Wanted
Shotgun King - The Final Checkmate is a unique turn-based roguelike that’s a mutant form of shotgun chess. It’s very light on content, but the brilliant concept, ever-evolving ruleset, and affordable price make it an indie oddity worth experiencing.
Punkcake Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/punkcake
Great Punkcake interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGxYOu4YeXc
In the roundup: Adore mini-review, Horizon: Burning Shores, Gamescom Opening Night Live, The Future Games Show, Pacific Drive, Alan Wake II, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Phantom Spark, Helskate, Europa, Light Nightmares III, Expedition: A Mudrunner Game, Nightingale, and more.

174: Meg's Monster, Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow
This week's episode is about Meg's Monster, a patron recommendation that turned out to be delightful. It's a simple, short & sweet pixel art adventure, that distinguishes itself from the pack with some enjoyable writing, and an emotional story that'll tug at your heartstrings.
There's also a book review in this episode. "Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin is an engrossing piece of literary fiction located in the world of game development, that might be of some interest to gamers.
In the roundup: Killsquad, Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, Adore, Kentucky Route Zero.

Thanks for listening!
173: Venba
Venba is a striking visual novel that sensitively explores the experience of an young Indian couple emigrating to Canada, and the life events that follow. It has excellent audio-visual presentation and rich subject matter, but the compressed narrative seems to skip key events, before an abrupt ending.
In the roundup: Pikmin 4, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Stray's arrival on Xbox.

171: Have A Nice Death, The Last Worker, Koa & The Five Pirates Of Mara, & More
Have a Nice Death is an enjoyable roguelike with slick and satisfying moment-to-moment gameplay, top notch combat, and pinpoint platforming. As a roguelike, though, its various systems are oddly named, ill-explained, and muddled-seeming.
In the roundup: Cyberpunk 2077 (again!), Grimoire Groves, The Last Worker, Dave The Diver, Koa & The Five Pirates Of Mara.

170: Oxenfree II: Lost Signals
Seven years in the making, Lost Signals is Night School's difficult second album. It starts strong by playing the hits, and shines in its atmosphere and dialogue system, but fades where it should crescendo.
In the roundup: ASUS ROG Ally, Dead Space 2023, FFXIII, Venba, Dave The Diver.

169: Final Fantasy XVI
Final Fantasy XVI is a dark fantasy action adventure that tells its epic story via impressively cinematic cut-scenes, sleek, kinetic combat, and spectacular set pieces. Some poor quest design made the story drag, but the characters and combat never got old.
In the roundup: Final Fantasy XIII, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Dave The Diver.

168: Coffee Golf, July Indie Games
Coffe Golf is an improbably compelling and addictive daily phone game. Each day, you get a new five-hole golf course. It takes luck, skill, and strategy to get around the course, and whittle down your stroke count to get the best possible score. Also, for bonus fun – listen out for a 4.2 earthquake that happened while I was recording!
Also in this episode: a July indie game roundup, including Synapse, GYLT, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, Venba, Viewfinder, The Wandering Village, Immortals of Avium, Crime O'Clock, and more.

167: Gerda: A Flame In Winter
Gerda: A Flame in Winter is an excellent choice-based story game set in Nazi-occupied Denmark towards the end of WWII. The compelling story is packed with ethical quandaries that have real impact on the story, and the stakes are high as your moment-to-moment decisions can have life or death consequences.
In the roundup: Annapurna Showcase – Lorelei & The Laser Eyes, Cocoon, To a T, Lushfoil Photography Sim , Thirsty Suitors, Flock, Ghostbike, Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth.

166: Dordogne
This week's review is a short, beautiful game that tells a compact, emotional story. Its watercolored visual style and ambience are breathtaking, and perfectly capture the feeling of loosely-remembered childhood summers. But the gameplay is often a chore—sometimes literally.
In the roundup: FFXVI, Nintendo Direct, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Gerda: A Flame In Winter.

Finally: thanks for listening :)
165: Harmony: The Fall Of Reverie, Summer Game Fest Roundup
Harmony: The Fall of Reverie is an ambitious and substantial visual novel that plays with a broad spectrum of ideas about hope, chaos, capitalism, community, mysticism, and the power of collective belief. However, the story succeeds despite the game's structure, as I'll go into in the episode.
In the roundup: FFXVI and Viewfinder demos, Tales of Arise, and my picks from Tribeca Games Fest, Xbox Showcase, Wholesome Direct, PC Gaming Show, and all the others. Including: A Highland Song, Nightcape, Despelote, Station To Station, Jusant, Grimoire Groves, Botany Manor, Starfield, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, Harold Halibut, Dread Pilot, Exo Rally Championship, Star Wars Outlaws, and a few strays and extras.

163: Ravenlok, After Us, Humanity
On a little Zelda sabbatical, this week's episode rounds up a few recent indie games. The featured review is Ravenlok – a short, charming fairytale adventure in which we enter a fairytale kingdom through a magic mirror, and take up a quest to liberate the realm from an evil queen. It’s a simple comfort-food video game with plenty of heart and some colourful, fantastical visuals.

160: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Tears Of The Kingdom is Nintendo’s impossible sequel. How do you follow up the best game of all time? Their answer was to expand it in all directions. Tears of the Kingdom uses the miraculous Breath of the Wild as its foundations, soaring high and plunging deep to create an astounding adventure in which the possibilities stretch as far as the horizon.
Note: this show covers the intro, opening sky island area, and landfall sections of the game. I tried to be sensitive about spoilers, and note in advance if I'm touching on anything I feel it might be nice for players to discover for themselves. There are no story spoilers However, this is based on my own interpretation of what could be considered spoiler material, so listener discretion is advised. I'd say this show is probably most suited to players who have played for 10-15 hours, generally speaking.

159: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Zelda, Ludonarracon 2023
158: Jedi: Fallen Order, Strayed Lights, The Last Case Of Benedict Fox, May Games Preview
Jedi: Fallen Order is a game I first talked about on episode ten of this podcast, way back in 2020. I finally rolled credits this week, so with that, Jedi: Survivor's release, and it being May 4th, it seemed like a good time to talk about it again. It's a nostalgic Star Wars action-adventure game that nails the elusive vibe that made the first trilogy great. There are some significant bumps in the road, but it’s an accomplished game that really does make you feel the force as a Padawan runaway relearning your Jedi skills.
In the roundup: The Last Case of Benedict Fox, Strayed Lights, and a May video game releases preview, including Venba, Dordogne, After Us, Planet of Lana, Tin Hearts, Ravenlok, Miasma Chronicles, Humanity, Cassette Beats, and — of course — The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

157: Betrayal At Club Low
Betrayal At Club Low is an oddball point ’n’ click adventure game that melds weird storytelling, retro visuals, a loopy nightclub infiltration scenario, and compelling dice-based skill checks into a contemporary refresh for the genre. It's super fun, and feels like an instant cult classic.
In the roundup: Jedi: Fallen Order, Storyteller, Minabo: A Walk Through Life, The Last Case of Benedict Fox.

It’s a cult classic dragon-riding rails shooter that first arrived on the Sega Saturn in 1996, and got an unexpected remake for Switch and other modern consoles in 2020.
