Writing on GamesCast Ep.132 - Life is Un-DARE

Writing on GamesCast

The soundboard was messing up Hamish's audio, so Nico has to pick up the chaotic slack—don't worry, it's still a mess. After an hour talking about the Fast and Furious films, awful Marvel TV shows and IGN reviews of old Simpsons games (let's just say the wellbeing of developers is a *remarkably* recent consideration in the public eye), we actually talk about some stuff we've been playing! Hamish got an Xbox and Nico has been playing a bunch of Game Pass games—Forza Horizon 4, Descenders and, uh... Dungeons and Dragons Dark Alliance. Lego Builder's Journey is maybe the closest a game has come to legitimate photorealism, while Cruelty Squad looks like a complete nightmare (but might actually be game of the year). Oh also Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is a great tech demo and a fantastic game... for kids. Shame should hang like a... actually nah, I'm not going to do the IGN thing.
