@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Ratshaker (PS5) is a rather pleasant game, pretty standard really. No notes. Plat#158

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Presentiment of Death (PSVR2) looks great, sounds good and has a neat idea, but falls flat due to technical issues, no aim assist at all with an inconsistent at best weapon, and barely any content. Avoid until fixed. Plat#157

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Stick Fight: The Game (PS4) is probably a real romp with other players, but online multiplayer didn't work except for one time where no one but me could move & after I killed them we all sank into the ground & couldn't start a new round. Did it solo. Plat#156

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Mortal Kombat 11 (PS4) had a bunch of trophies auto-popping, the standout being the 250 towers. Glad I could get Plat#155 without enduring that insane grind again. Really good game, I even figured out I had a color blind filter on for the PS5 version 😅 BLOOD!

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Gleylancer (Genesis on PS4) was a nice revisit of a shmup I can actually beat legitimately. It's short, plays well and gave me Plat#154 and a completed Sparkle Shot square.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt War of the Monsters (PS2 on PS4) is the same as the PS5 version, but I needed it to score points for that silly trophy challenge @mattkuo.bsky.social roped me into. Actually I just loved to keep beating giant monsters and huge robots to a pulp. Plat#153

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt War of the Monsters (PS2 on PS5) is a cheesy monster flick come to life. You are a huge monster or giant robot and need to punch huge monsters and giant robots to a pulp. Controls are weird, but the game was very fun. Plat#152

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt I was very sleepy the other day & thought to myself, "I can't play anything demanding, it needs to be easy on the eyes" and thus started up Hidden Through Time (PS4), a game where you need to intensely stare at the screen to look for stuff for hours. Plat#152

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Vita) is my first LEGO game completion and it was a treat. Perfect game to whip out on long car rides or in a lull. It has some quirks, but overall very enjoyable, funny and stacked with Star Wars goodness. Plat#150

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Bahnsen Knights (PS5) concludes the Pixel Pulps Collection for the Fanboy* square and also has a helicopter explode in a glorious fireball for the Tales of the Lesser Helicopters square. Great adventure game, really enjoyed the whole trilogy. Get it! Plat#149

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Twisted Metal (PS on PS4) has level select cheats which I used for keeping what little is left of my sanity and getting the Game Shark square. Having already gotten used to the controls made this playthrough much more enjoyable! Rough, but neat. Plat#148

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Twisted Metal (PS on PS5) controls weird and has enemies that can fuck you up in no time out of nowhere. The overall gameplay loop of driving around and shooting other cars and bikes is nice though. Played on easy for the Catharsis square. Plat#147

Master Chief's hardest mission.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Astro Bot (PS5, new account) was one of my favorite games last year, so I rebeat it on my US account and got the platinum for it again. Banger rebeat for Banger Rebeat rebeat square where you have to rebeat a banger. Still highly recommended!

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate (PS5) can play itself for you for most of its platinum journey. That is so weird, but a great excuse "not to play" it while my gf wasn't here as she wanted me to keep my crappy skill level so she could eviscerate me in VS. Plat#146

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt The free DLC for Astro Bot (PS5) is a delight, mostly keeping with the quality of the main game and offering time trials, leaderboards and a lot of variety. It was particularly fun to dethrone @blinkoom.bsky.social on some of these levels!

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Diablo III (PS3) without its expansion is a great game hindered by very slow endgame progression and weak item design. It was still a hoot for the first 15ish hours, getting all but one trophy, but a boring slog for that last one as it took as long. Plat#145

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie (PS5) is another fantastic Katamari game held back a little bit by two annoying at best control schemes & a ton of padding in the latter half. Aside from that, everything you want from a game like this is here. Plat#144

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Super Panda Land (Game Boy) is a game made by a Game Boy YouTuber I quite like featuring a panda that fights handhelds gone rogue. It's quite simple, uneven & suffers from enormous slowdown when played on original hardware. Better played on itch. Music slaps!

Welcome to The Monthly Mishap! Every month 2 friends get together to talk about the movies/TV shows they've been watching. Then they trade recommendations and reconvene the next month to talk in depth about their opinions on said recommendations. The first episode is LIVE NOW! Links below:

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Pursuit Force (PSP on PS5) is a pretty decent combat racing game where you can jump to other vehicles mid-chase, kill the driver & hijack them. The story is pretty mid 2000s, the visuals have been uprezzed nicely & the jank is pervasive. Solid 7/10. Plat#143

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt My friend asked me how I beat Dark Souls Remastered (PS4) in under 4 hours, so I showed him when he was over. This game is a hoot from beginning to end, I should play it more often. For what it's worth, I also cleaned up all trophies on Touch My Katamari!

@dylancharles.bsky.social and @jimmymook.bsky.social are back again with @pamd.bsky.social to discover just what it is that lies beneath in this #thriller double feature about WHAT LIES BENEATH and THE INVITATION (2015): www.buzzsprout.com/2051435/epis... (Spoilers: IT lies beneath, specifically.)

New PolyKill! Trav fights bears in his neighborhood and Steve gets a Switch 2! Brainiac takes home the gold! Top 5 announcements from SGF! www.buzzsprout.com/1351234/epis...

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Touch My Katamari (Vita) is an excellent Katamari game with one of the most Japanese stories you will find – as is customary for this franchise. Gameplay is super fun, just roll everything up into a huge ball & let the King of the Cosmos make it into a star.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Hitman Go (Vita) was a fun puzzle game for the first bunch of worlds until it wasn't. The levels introduces too many mechanics to be a good pick-up-and-play game for car rides anymore, so I used a guide for the last few and to be done with it. Plat#142

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Boomerang X (Switch) needs a bit to become fun, rewards you with slick gameplay and great music, but then devolves into endless arena combat encounters that drag the game down a bit. Glad I played it, but I hope the next one is more well-rounded.

GET OVER HERE! Uncle Doug's DVD Bin coming at you with an uppercut of nostalgia: 1995's MORTAL KOMBAT!!! Does @travplaysgames.bsky.social finally forgive Doug? Was @spf45.bsky.social alone when he saw Doug nunchuckin' at night? #podcast #movies #mortalkombat www.buzzsprout.com/1997681/epis...

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social Peggle: Dual Shot (DS on 3DS) has you touch the screen for a second, tap it, and then wait 10 seconds for something to happen. The most exciting thing about the game was when I lost my stylus in the car. Not my type of game right now, but I #JustBeatIt for Bingo 😎

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Gears of War Judgment (Xbox 360 on Series X) was a quite enjoyable co-op experience together with @mrmo1984.bsky.social that we knocked out in one day. Upressed on Series X this game looks gorgeous and runs buttery smooth. Fun times!
