Hades 2 is an excellent game.

If Hades was @SupergiantGames masterpiece, this sequel is the refinement of everything that made it special.

Not flawless (those boss fights do get repetitive), but it’s damn close.

This week @chrisbrandrick from @SwitchWeekly joins me on the podcast to discuss his Nintendo Switch Memories and how the Nintendo Switch inspired him to start a weekly Switch newsletter that has been going on longer than the Switch has been released!

Review: Spilled!

A brilliant, short and sweet indie game well worth its one hour of gameplay.

Even though everything is covered in oil, Spilled! is still a very pretty game and can be beat in less than one hour!

The last couple of years have been a boon for Mario R
I didn't think Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door could be beat as the 'best' Mario RPG however, I think Super Mario RPG remake has taken the crown from it.

Find out why in this week's podcast.

Check out my review of Caravan SandWitch by @planetoastdev AND @SandWitchDev .

It's a lovely exploration game where you uncover the secrets of a slowly dying planet in your cheerful yellow van.

I think it shows Rodri deserved it since Man City have lost 42% of games since he has been out injured.

Small Saga
Temtem: Swarm

Such a varied amount of games and funny that even though I knocked all of these off of the backlog, my backlog still grew in 2024 😅

🏆My Game of the Year episode is live!🏆

Making a top 10 was hard this year because we have had so many amazing games in 2024.

However, as soon as I finished my No. 1 game, I knew it would be my number one for the year.

Find out what it is here:

This week on the podcast I checked out Temtem: Swarm by @PlayTemtem

It's in early access but is already one of the best 'survivor-likes' I have played.

Looking forward to seeing what comes next in the early Access!

Small Saga by @Sketchy_Jeremy is small but like its main character Verm, it packs a punch!

The game has a great story, some stunning pixel art and banging tunes, so it is one to add to your 'to play' list before the end of 2024.
