First game of 2026 beaten! Hogwarts Legacy was a fun one. Great story and even though I'm not a fan of the Harry Potter universe, I loved every second of the story. Too many collectibles though. 5/5 for story, 3/5 for the platinum grind. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Last video of 2025! Going over the top 5 games I played this year! youtu.be/Z94BO8_diLw

Tails Of Iron 2: Whiskers Of Winter was a amazing sequel that released this year and I am honestly glad I finally got to play this one. The music, & hand drawn art style was amazing, the story leaves it open for another sequel and honestly I hope they do! 5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Super Mariomon was a amazing rom hack. It's Pokemon but everything from the captures to the characters to the cities and routes as well as the music are all Mario themed and it is honestly the best rom hack I have played in recent years. It's a must play 5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Not surprised with Diablo 4. That platinum nearly killed me by the end of it. xD Nice to see Balatro made it to my top 5 though. The game was more addicting than I thought it would be. The other 4 all had their platinums popped this year. Here is to 2026! #playstationwrapup2025

New Polykill! Trav talks about the joys of owning a Philips CD-i. Steve shares his thoughts on Metroid Prime 4. Top 5 games that start with N. www.buzzsprout.com/1351234/epis...

Pokemon HeartGold was a amazing remake. Played just like Gold/Silver and I ended up having to grind before the league since I dropped RetroAchievements to just get through the league. It is solid from start to finish and I recommend it. Onto post game 5/5 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Animaniacs Ten Pin Alley was hillariously fun. Great set of characters & customization, the alleys were great with the designs and the tournament mode was fun but the ai can hit strikes whenever they want to get a lead. Overall it's a fun bowling game. 4.5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

CTR Nitro Fueled was a fun rebeat! The story mode is just the right length and for a remake it does everything well. Been replaying this on and off and it is still fun to hop back into to this day. The story mode is also a great time! 5/5 #PolarOrBust #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Extreme Go-Kart Racer on ps1 is extremely broken that made this short game longer than it should have. Poor controls, long load times, mid track design and broken ai made for a rough time. The soundtrack is alright though. 2/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is beaten for the billionth time. The ost, gameplay & enemy as well as level design are imo peak 2d sonic. I can beat this game over and over and it never gets old. Even though I prefer Sonic 2, I will always be down to beat Sonic 3 again. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Amazon Music 2025 wrap up number 1 under podcast just happened to be the best gaming podcast going! Not surprised at all. Huge shoutout to Polykill! If you haven't given Trav and Blink a listen, you are missing out! #amazonmusicwrap2025 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer DS was a fun christmas game. Plays like a storybook telling the entire Rudolph story with mini games thrown in like puzzles, memory games and others. It was a fun one but the song drove me nuts after 5 minutes so I muted it 3/5 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

M&M Kart Racer on DS was a decent attempt at a kart racer that quickly fell short. Started out strong but after the 3rd track, you can tell the devs were just rushing to get the game out by just making generic tracks and throwing obstacles anywhere. 2.5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Disney Extreme Skate Adventure is a hidden gem for Tony Hawk clones. Great cast of characters and the ost is great but gets repetitive quick. Overall it is good. The level design also is a tad questionable at times however but made for a fun disney game. 4/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

ATV Offroad Fury 2 was a throwback. From the nostalgic gameplay to the ost, everything was super fun to go back to. The rubberbanding was also a challenge to compete against. I grew up with this and 3 in my teenage years and it never gets old. 4.5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Arthur Ready To Race was something. Supposed to be a kart racer but it was more a hybrid of racing down a hill and doing tasks for friends in the city. No credits and a lame ending for a basic generic game aimed at kids on ps1. 2.5/5 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Genesis version of Shaq Fu is done. It played a lot better than the snes version with more fighters in story mode but it was a lot easier also with a 6 button set up. Doesn't hold up to what I remember as a kid however which I remember loving. 2/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Finally tortured myself and beat Shaq Fu (Snes). It is painful with poor controls and frames. I resorted to doing enough damage and letting the timer run out because after the first 2 fights, it became painful. 1.5/5 Now onto the genesis version. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Nothing "new" in here, but I just compiled all of my Castlevania retrospective stuff into one massive chunk for easier consumption or maybe to reach anyone new. The culmination of 9 months and over 500 hours of gameplay 💀 youtu.be/7gSuFMTvY_I

Done until season 2! So glad to finally have the Skate platinum after playing since official day 1 100% f2p! #platinumtrophy #skate

Beat Echo Night (ps1 via emulator) tonight from FromSoft. Game is super cryptic & some areas were pure bs at times. Overall great horror game. Kept me on the edge of my seat and wish Fromsoft would revisit the horror genre again. Excited for the sequel. 4/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Finally finished FF7 after years of starting it and dropping it. The cutscenes were top notch, didn't care for the beginning few hours but after reaching the overworld, the game grew on me. It's in my top 10 Final Fantasy games now &the music was great. 4.8/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was a extremely fun one. The ps4 version is the ps2 version with rewind support & I couldn't have picked a better game for platinum #100 and a rebeat. It's controls are a bit clunky however but it's still a great game. 4/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Goat Simulator 3 platinum in the bag. Brings me up to 99 platinums and already have the 100th ready to pop once I defeat the final boss in it. Never thought I would get the 100 plats before the end of the year but here we go!

Goat Simulator 3 was a amazingly fun sandbox game. They took everything that made Goat Sim 1 great & improved upon it. The little nods to different movies and games made me laugh quite a few times. Its a goat for sandbox ragdoll titles for me. 5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

My new favorite glitch in Skate. No idea how I pulled it off to get it to stick but I jumped from the ground and hopped on the spiral ramp thing they added and ended up climbing the thing like this. Took a video too on my ps4 but it seemed to get out of it by jumping again. 🤣

Doom 2016 was a gory good time. The game kept the insane rip n tear feeling and dialed it up to 11. The bosses give a good challenge even on easy, and overall it was a really solid reboot. The story was also excellent and the collectibles were fun to find 4/5 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

And then there was 4 trophies left in Skate. Thanks to Schry for boosting the 2 multiplayer trophies with me last night. Now the real grind begins. 😶

Skate. doesn't have a traditional story with credits but they have a main tour which serves as a tutorial and shows you the best spots. Completed it and it was actually really helpful to learn tricks and the finale was a epic climb to the top of the city. 3/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

When you are excited to hop into the new Skate, finally get in after 10 minutes in the queue and then get through the tutorial to just get booted to see this. Off to a great start it seems and why I hate when games are always online. 😂

No real end to this game but was a nice easter egg for Doom 3 in Doom 2016. Each punch you get 10 points & every 6th you get 100 points for killing the turkey in Super Turbo Turkey Puncher arcade cabinet. Set my own high score. 2/5 since it was just press x. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

New video finally out! Feel free to check it out youtu.be/ghJVfpxW64c

173 hours later, Diablo 4 platinum is done! #PlatinumTrophy #Diablo4

One of the hardest trophies in Diablo 4 done! Hardcore level 50 took many attempts and was honestly scary with disconnects and some extremely close calls early on. Now to finish paragon 200 on core and the platinum is mine! Let's go! #Diablo4

Don’t forget tonight at 9pm eastern the 10 year live stream celebration is happening on twitch! twitch.tv/polymedianet...

Took Polykill the necromancer through the campaign of Diablo 4 on core after endless deaths on hardcore. Overall the story is great. Has a few difficulty spikes but overall it was enjoyable. If it wasn't always online however it would be a lot better due to server ping constantly. 4/5 #justbeatit

Razor Freestyle Scooter honestly did not hold up well. I used to love this game growing up but revisiting it made me realize how jank and barebones the game actually is. It's a 3.5/5. Solid soundtrack held back by barebone tricks and frustrating final levels. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Pokemon Yellow retroachievements mastered! It was a fun one especially the beat the elite 4 and champion with only Pikachu achievement which took about 8 attempts losing to the rival. Overall though it was a solid set and a fun way to revisit it.

Pokemon Yellow will always be a classic for me. For a 3rd title to go alongside red and blue, it brought new stuff like new in game trades, Jesse and James along other things. Might be nostalgia but it still remains a 5/5 for me. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Beat Barny's Hide & Seek Game on genesis out of boredom while waiting for Diablo 4 to download. It's a fun game where you can literally do nothing and still beat the game but I did the 5 minute speedrun challenge instead. 1.5/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Took what felt like forever but I finally got my first win in Balatro on blue deck. Got lucky with the jokers and the points just kept rolling. Feels good getting it out of the way because for a roguelike, it was becoming annoying but addictive. 4/5 #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Took on Halloween Puzzle with my cousin and for a free game, some people call it shovelware but expert mode is no joke. Match the pictures game and we took turns writing down where each image was and still struggled but in the end, got the beat. 2/5 because there is nothing really to it. #justbeatit

Lord Of The Rings Shadow Of War was fun until the end half of the game. Started out with a ton of variety and then turned into domination capturing flags repeatedly near the end. Had potential but I see why people disliked this one. 3.5/5 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

Just rolled credits in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and at first I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it but 30 hours later,it is now up there with some of the best games I played this year. The in game map sucks though but it is 100% worth a playthrough. 5/5 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

This hurt 🤣 #Balatro
