#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.211 Magic Knight Rayearth (GB). Patch by LIPEMCO! It surprises with charming sprites and clean visuals that capture the anime’s spirit. Sadly, the gameplay is so easy it barely challenges. I enjoyed the 1 hour game, but it's very shallow for an RPG.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #justbeatit Hollow Knight: Silksong! What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said? It is an absolute masterpiece that follows up on its predecessor admirably. Gorgeous art style. Beautiful soundtrack. Tough as nails gameplay. It is nearly perfect!

203) Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Just like with Mario Kart this year, I found my new favourite Sonic racing game. I love the insane roster this game offers as the cool looking stages. Not to mention that this game is just really fun to play. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Garfield’s Scary Scavenger Hunt, a browser-based game I played purely for the @polykillpodcast.bsky.social bingo square. Turns out it’s a minor cult classic—SkiFree for a different generation. Relatively painless, and if I couldn’t find anything with President Garfield I’ll take Liman.

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

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

197) The Mummy Demastered They weren’t kidding when they said this game was 10 times better than the movie it’s based on. The MetroidVania/shooter gameplay blends together perfectly with the horror theme they replicated from the movie. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Super Smash TV (SNES), a Robotron-style twin stick shooter. It's pretty tough and takes practice to get further each time. I got the pleasuredome ending, unlocking turbo mode with 2x speed, 2x lives, 2x continues and almost beat that second loop. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I was as caught up in the hype as anyone but I couldn‘t play Celeste 64 when it came out because for a long time I didn’t have a non-work PC. I finally dug in this week and today #justbeatit. There are still, happily, five missing berries to keep me playing a bit yet. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

201) Godzilla Unleashed This one wasn’t that fun to go through. The game feels incredibly clunky to control which made the game really frustrating. And the CPU both enemies and allies were both annoying to deal with for numerous reasons. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

196) Death Stranding Director's Cut I decided to play this game to prep myself for the sequel. While the story was good albeit confusing there were a lot of times where the core gameplay of lugging around cargo became very tedious and frustrating. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Join us as we once again band together for a good cause! This year we're streaming for 24 hours to benefit Doctors Without Borders @msf.ca! September 27th at twitch.tv/polymedia network

#justbeatit Unboxing the Cryptic Killer The last one I didn’t play yet in the series. This one had a simplistic setup but maybe I liked it the most of all. Very fun coop puzzle series. Highly recommended. And hereby I have beaten 3 games from the same developer in ‘25 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Alan Wake: The Writer. With the two DLC chapters I was forced to get better at the game’s unique but decidedly not great combat. In terms of story these special features are not a bad sales job for the real sequel. I’ll definitely play it if I ever buy a PS5. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Quake from Memory The Quake campaign recreated from memory by the community. Some very accurate outings and some wildly wrong ones too (including mine). It was a blast and playing it in LibreQuake made it feel very bootleg. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.200 (😀 😀) Titus the Fox (GB). I should have picked something better for my 200th beat of the year. The graphics make it hard to see anything, the music is poor and the gameplay is bad, with the level design being the most egregious. Avoid this boring game!

2025 Finished Game 51 - Oregon Trail (Series X) I expected a cash grab, but instead found nostalgic fun. Charming retro style graphics, toe tapping music, and additional storylines of on people you meet along the trail. Loads of unlockable modes. 4.5/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

#JustBeatIt Cyberpunk 2077. A beat almost 5 years in the making. Bought day one on PS4 and it was unplayable. Started again after all the patches and bounced off. Eventually started a 3rd playthrough and finally brought it home. Glad I gave the ole gal another chance. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

@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

#justbeatit Exile III, a Win95 CRPG. Char growth by point allocation, lots of useless skills & spells, tactical grid combat, tons to explore. Beginning is great but a bit of a slog by the end with you overpowered and annoying dungeons. Still good on average. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Loco Motive. An excellent point & click throwback with a multi-POV, murder-mystery story and great voice acting. I’m ashamed of the times I used the in-game hint system but really enjoyed the times everything “clicked.” @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

190) Shinobi: Art of Vengeance It looks like we’re 2 for 2 for Ninja revival games as I thought this game was fun too. The game has a great visual style and the gameplay is challenging yet satisfying throwing all sorts of cool power ups to experiment with. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Mafia: The Old Country delivered the experience I was hoping for. A shorter 8-10hr experience, great story, fantastic voice acting, and a beautiful depiction of early 1900s Sicily. Gameplay feels very PS3/360 era, but that never bothers me. I enjoyed it! #JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

2025 Finished Game 49 - Test Drive 6 (GBC) + Runs smooth with solid controls. Tons of replay value - CPU cheats, bland graphics, and must be perfect to unlock final cup. Conclusion: A decent racer on the go, but far from perfect. 3.25/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

#JustBeatIt Bloodrayne: Revamped on the PS4. It's a great remaster of one of my favorites from the PS2/Xbox/GameCube era. The controls are still a bit loose, and hit detection is wonky, but the story is fun, the gameplay is addictive, and the worldbuilding is awesome. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

2025 Finished Game 43 - Yogi’s Gold Rush (GB) A solid platformer with impressive animations and unique enemy designs. Unfortunately I got the bad ending because I didn’t recover all of the treasure. I enjoyed it regardless. 3.75/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

#justbeatit Aladdin (SNES/Disney Classics). Another nostalgia beat. Save states never had a friend like me. This one completes a BINGO on my final main @polykillpodcast.bsky.social ‘s bingo board. Onto the bonus boards!!!

Death Stranding 2 is Kojima at his most ... kojima. Although the story was pretty uneven and weird for the sake of being weird, I enjoyed how it all wrapped up. The gameplay is immaculate and zen-like. The graphics and music are top notch. What a game. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#justbeatit Mafia: The Old Country. This game played like a 2000s game with a modern look. I was ok with the linear narrative nature it, but was not thrilled with these older stealth/action mechanics. Even though I had frustrations, the good slightly outshined the bad @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

#JustBeatIt Bloodborne and the Old Hunters DLC. This may be the first DOUBLE COUPLE beat in @polykillpodcast.bsky.social history. My wife and I both beat this game on the same day with our respective characters. Also, Bloodborne rules bro.

BAM! POW! CRASH! #justbeatit, Batman: The Video Game. The platforming in this game is spot on and satisfying. The sprite designs are absolutely fantastic, and the banging soundtrack seals this as a top tiered NES title. I highly recommend! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

2025 Finished Game 39 - VR Troopers (Game Gear) A surprisingly smooth running fighting game with backgrounds that really pop on the small screen. Enemies repeat often which is disappointing. You can cheese the AI easily too. 4/5⭐️ @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #justbeatit

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered! That old school gameplay with a shiny coat of paint! Still buggy, still fun! Felt good to cap this one off after dropping it years ago on the 360. No credits roll, so plz accept a humble Platinum trophy 🏆

Going live to celebrate 10 years of the show in a few seconds! www.twitch.tv/polymedianet... Stop in!

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Death Stranding 2. An absolute masterpiece. I've never played a game that goes so hard into absurdity but ends up trying things together so wonderfully. The final boss fight is an all timer.

#justbeatit Dig Dig Dino Fun relaxing no pressure game. Just choose squares to dig deeper on a grid to find dino bones and treasure to unlock better skills to do it better next time. Overstayed it’s welcome a little bit but maybe its made to not be binged in one day. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Planet of Lana, a modern cinematic platformer (a Limbo-like), lacks the gameplay dynamism of that game. Its puzzles tend to be similar with apparent solutions. Yet its poignant & less impressionistic story elevates everything greatly. Great game, glad to have #JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
