A journey through the lands sees the titular Kena rounding up the almost-actionably-Pixar Rot to aid her in guiding wayward spirits home. But is Kena more than a series of homages and influences?

En esta nueva misión de El Emisario Subespacial viajamos hasta Expotaku A Coruña 2026, un evento que sigue creciendo y consolidándose como una cita imprescindible para los amantes del manga, el anime, los videojuegos y la cultura pop. Nuestro corresponsal Zhlain se ha desplazado hasta allí para vivirlo desde dentro y contarnos, con detalle, todo lo que ha dado de sí esta edición. En este episodio nos centramos especialmente en la Zona Indie Dev, un espacio que continúa expandiéndose de manera sorprendente. Zhlain pasó la mayor parte del tiempo probando juegos, conversando con desarrolladores y tomando buena nota de todo el talento que se está moviendo en la escena independiente. Sus impresiones, recomendaciones y descubrimientos forman el núcleo de este contenido. Además, compartimos sensaciones generales del evento, ambiente, organización y aquello que hace que Expotaku A Coruña siga siendo un punto de encuentro tan especial para la comunidad.

The developers of Shovel Knight are, at long last, back with a new game—and despite the long wait, it's absolutely fantastic. Mina the Hollower is a love letter to topdown games like Zelda, mixed in with elements of Castlevania, Dark Souls, and many others. It's also had a long journey towards release, which was a topic of conversation during a recent chat Patrick had with Yacht Club Games' founder and director Sean Velasco and programmer David D'Angelo.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every Soulsborne fan has an answer.Some say Dark Souls has the best world. Some say Bloodborne has the best atmosphere. Some say Elden Ring is the best overall package. And somewhere out there, a Dark Souls II defender is already preparing a full argument.In Episode 98 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee dive into one of gaming's most passionate debates: which Soulsborne game is actually the best?We go from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, Dark Souls III, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, breaking down what each game does best and why fans still argue about them years later.This episode covers the blueprint that started it all, the world design that changed gaming, the most divisive entry in the series, the polished finale, the gothic nightmare fans still beg to see remastered, and the open-world giant that brought Soulsborne to the mainstream.We also talk about what really matters in these games: bosses, builds, lore, world design, atmosphere, combat feel, replayability, and that unforgettable moment when the game finally clicks.So what deserves the crown?Is it Bloodborne for the vibe? Dark Souls for the world? Dark Souls III for the bosses? Or Elden Ring for the full package?Let the debate begin.Follow Co-op Chronicles everywhereSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5SdKUmrjtUOB5y32Nd3gFeApple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/co-op-chronicles/id1745794642YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Co-op-ChroniclesInstagram https://www.instagram.com/co_op_chroniclesTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@co_op_chroniclesLinktree https://linktr.ee/CoOpChronicles

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on 1997's Dungeon Keeper. We talk about its tone again, and delve into a number of design topics including interface choices, verbs, and level design. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Three more levels-ish Issues covered: tonal neutrality vs tonal specificity, constructing a fantasy world, having a clear identity, villainous UI choices, white standing out, a subtle tiling system, feeling like increasing a hoard, increasing the verb space through direct interaction, picking and dropping things to direct them, units you're not meant to care about, camera choices, shortcuts to get around, preferring the zoom level as it was, the magical moment of possessing a creature, more RTS than expected, the early RTS curve repeating itself, not wanting to lose the builder choices, having to research all the rooms again, needing canvas space to paint, not knowing when units change over to you, finding idols and small rooms, economic victory, pincer moves, having the multiplayer options with the meta, power-up timing loops, starting with multiplayer first, how we have time for all this, trading off time with other games or hobbies, Tim the baby designer.  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Civilization, Sid Meier, SimCity, Will Wright, Firaxis, Maxis, Populous, Lionhead, The Movies, Peter Molyneux, Black and White, StarCraft, Homeworld, Blizzard, Dragon Quest Builders, Minecraft, Thomas Pynchon, id Software, Doom 2, Quake (series), Halo, Unreal Tournament, Ben, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Saros, Hollow Knight, Valheim, Diablo (series), Mortimer and the Riddles of the Medallion, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Dungeon Keeper!

Send us Fan MailYou know the map, the mechanics, even the twist and still you hit “New Game.” So why do we keep replaying the same games? Anthony breaks down the psychology behind it and why it feels so satisfying, soothing, and sometimes irresistible.We explore four key reasons: comfort gaming that reduces stress and gives a sense of control, the pursuit of mastery in challenging games, the appeal of meaningful choices through branching stories, and the power of nostalgia tied to specific moments in life. Along the way, we reference games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dark Souls, Hades, and Minecraft.The takeaway is simple: replaying isn't always about something new, it's about getting what you need, whether that's calm, competence, curiosity, or connection. If you've ever reinstalled a game for the tenth time, this episode will help you understand why.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

Fortuan and Dylan discuss the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Dark Souls

Spieleveteranen-Episode #441 (16-2026) Besetzung: Heinrich Lenhardt und Jörg Langer Aufnahmedatum: 08.04.2026 Laufzeit: 1:43:54 Stunden (0:00:15 News & Smalltalk – 0:33:43 Zeitschriften-Zeitreise) Wenn die Spieleveteranen mit der Zeitmaschine vorfahren, ist euch klar: Es geht wieder Jahrzehnt um Jahrzehnt zurück in die Vergangenheit, um zu ergründen, was die Redaktionen der Spielemagazine dereinst bewegt hat. Passenderweise finden sich diesmal schon bei den News und den jüngsten Spielerlebnissen allerlei Verbindungen zu Hardware aus früheren Tagen. Nachdem auch die Hörerpost bearbeitet wurde, geht die Reise los. Vor 10 Jahren begegnet uns ein bis heute stetig gepflegtes Indie-Gewächs, schon ganze 20 Jahre ist das vorletzte Solo-Abenteuer auf dem Kontinent Tamriel her, und vor 30 Jahren regnete es reichlich Wertungssternchen für eine grandiose Strategiespiel-Fortsetzung.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our series on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. We talk about the demoralizing effect of a crash, hear about the notebook and time manipulation, and also turn to our takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: To Zora Boss (T), through Goron Dungeon (B) Issues covered: the giants sequence, dealing with a crash or its demoralizing effects, tools stability, puzzling out what your systems can do, convoluted dungeon designs, learning a lot from building the game, having clues to aid the player who has to come back, a vague map, a design getting away from you, having too many tools for the interface, having more time to smooth it out, constraints on a team, not knowing if the rewards would be worth the effort of doing things, having a loop as a player, feeling protected in save systems, people slowing down when you slow down time, memorable vs unmemorable NPCs, the amount of dialog you have increasing depth and motivation, making one location really deep, having NPCs come back to help the player, enriching Clock Town, the alien defense and its reward, the Pied Piper of Romani Ranch, the chick magnet and a great pay-off, having theories, getting stuck on a boss but being able to move on, being more than the sum of its parts, swinging for the fences, layering onto the world, being able to independently develop things into the game, a man's reach should exceed his grasp, usability not quite getting there, getting that audio mix right, remaking Ocarina and this game. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: SW: Starfighter, Jesse Moore, Dark Souls, Unreal, Outer Wilds, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, Groundhog Day, CalamityNolan, Baldur's Gate III, The Matrix, Spider-Man 2, Hollow Knight, Blizzard Studios, Metroid/Castlevania, Robert Browning, Dwarf Fortress, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

This week, Zak and Aaron are back to check in on Marathon, the latest title from Bungie and the latest shot by Sony to make a splash in the wildly oversaturated live service market. Rather than being an unmitigated disaster on the level of Concord or even Highguard, or a runaway success like Arc Raiders, Marathon is something of an in-bounds outlier - performance is perfectly middle-of-the-road.It's reviewing well, but player numbers are certainly soft for a game that was meant to finally make good on both Sony's $3.7 billion purchase of Bungie and  its wider live-service ambitions. So, what comes next?Please, enjoy.Sources:Marathon has sold 1.2M copies across Steam, PS5, and Xbox - Alinea InsightsMarathon Was Bungie's Last Hope - Bellular News'Things Are Looking Lukewarm Right Now' — Marathon Has Reportedly Sold Just 1.2 Million So Far, With Steam Making Up 70% of the Player Base - IGNSony Has Completed Its $3.7 Billion Deal to Acquire Bungie and Welcome It Into the PlayStation Family - IGNSony Says Bungie Hasn't Brought in as Much Money as It Thought It Would When It Bought the Developer, as Destiny 2 Falls Off a Cliff - IGNListen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck Out MosscatMarket on Instagram

Worum geht's? Mit King's Field erscheint 1994 auf der ersten PlayStation ein Rollenspiel, das sich deutlich von den damals populären Genrevertretern unterscheidet. Statt schneller Action setzt das Spiel auf langsame Bewegung, vorsichtige Erkundung und eine düstere Atmosphäre. Aus der Ego-Perspektive durchstreift man ein Labyrinth aus Höhlen, Ruinen und Verliesen, kämpft gegen Monster und sucht nach Ausrüstung – Schritt für Schritt, immer in Gefahr, sich zu verlaufen oder zu überschätzen. Die spartanische Präsentation, die träge Steuerung und die stille Welt verleihen dem Spiel einen ganz eigenen Rhythmus. Fabian und Gunnar sprechen in dieser Folge über die frühen Jahre von FromSoftware, über die ungewöhnliche Entwicklungsgeschichte von King's Field und über die Besonderheiten seines Designs: die offene Struktur der Spielwelt, das vorsichtige Kampfsystem und die Art, wie das Spiel Informationen nur sparsam preisgibt. Außerdem geht es um die Einflüsse westlicher Rollenspiele, um die Rolle des Spiels im frühen PlayStation-Line-up – und um die Frage, warum King's Field heute oft als ein früher Vorläufer der späteren FromSoftware-Tradition rund um die Soulslikes gesehen wird. Ein Blick auf einen eigenwilligen Dungeon-Crawler aus der Frühzeit der 3D-Rollenspiele. Hinweis: Wir leiten die Historie über den ersten Teil von 1994 her, der exklusiv in Japan erschienen ist, bei der Spielbesprechung stützen wir uns allerdings auf Teil 2, den ersten, der offiziell in den Westen kam (und der hierzulande auch einfach King's Field hieß). Infos zum Spiel: Thema: King's Field Erscheinungstermin: Dezember 1994 (JP) Plattform: PlayStation Entwickler: FromSoftware Publisher: FromSoftware Genre: Action-Rollenspiel / Dungeon-Crawler Designer: Naotoshi Zin, Toshiya Kimura, Shinichiro Nishida u.a.

Perhaps this is why it's marooned on the PS3 and the PS3 only to this day! This is a very special game, and in this episode Rick and Bill break down why it deserves far more love than it gets: the infectious music, the self-referential and -parodic writing, the gorgeous marriage of 2D and 3D, and more. 3D Dot Game Heroes does so much right. It deserves more recognition—and we're gonna tell you about it! Hope you love the show today. Enjoy!Thank you for listening! Want to reach out to PPR?

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our series on 1985's Ultima IV. We delve into dungeons, pilot ships all over, explore the later-game evolutions of the quest, and share some stories before turning to our takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Many hours more Issues covered: the literary help on the game, requiring 64K, having a consistent voice, how long a game it is, losing a ship, the Gate spell, needing to go back to every town, talking about towns and understanding the shrine quests, locking in elevations, getting later-game quest info, influencing the Triforce, keys without keys, naming dungeons to be the antithesis of the virtues, being unable to take risks like these, rich and dense theming and intricate reinforcing design, dungeons being near the virtues they oppose, requiring a ship to get to many dungeons, using the sextant to get latitude and longitude, mapping the dungeons, dungeon features, first-person hall crawl vs battle rooms, being penalized for fleeing combat, what preconceived notions do we enter with, feeling really dungeon crawly, elaborate battle map usage, The Crypt, getting stuck in a dungeon, describing an A bug, the uselessness of winds, a cove full of pirate ships, ship to ship fighting, finding the town Cove via whirlpool travel, filling in the blanks yourself, a consistent and elegant pattern, symmetry everywhere, design by programmer, leveraging your programming constraints in your narrative, the meta, what we're not, having a point of view about ethics, a procedural rhetoric, committing to the bit, breaking the traditional structure, all the mysteries you need to pay attention to, trusting the player, accessible mysteries, an extremely packed game with layers and meaning, an impactful and relevant game, not wasting your time, a Swiss clock, potential other connections.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Ultima IV. We talk about the boat, we talk about dungeons (a tiny bit), we deep dive into NPCs and consequences, we talk about the quests and how everything is in the world, and answer some listener email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More of Ultima IV (Much more, in B's case) Issues covered: revisiting locations and finding new things, a game that does a lot with a little, everything existing in the world, getting to know the world, NPCs sharing sprites and being hard to remember, getting a ship and fighting your way on, broadside combat, dying to a waterspout, wanting to search the oceans, badly simulating tacking, riding a horse, being interrupted in any location, trying to replicate the tabletop experience, feeling like a "yes" game, whether what you do matters, can you be a thief, watering down a morality system, having a limited palette of options at any one time, layering frosting, taking out the friction and icky feeling, the niche audience of some RPGs, taking elements from older games and bringing them into modern games, asking questions of the player who is also the character, avoiding the uncanny valley, an aside into adventure mode, the horseshoe effect on NPCs, reaching the limits of what the human brain can contemplate, an aside into Dunbar's number, facing the same challenges, chunking chapters, feeling the anxiety of there being too much, coalescing your notes from time to time, the telescope moment and seeing the map, the lack of loot, preparing to do things, validating your assumptions, having to revisit everywhere, the friction of Pikmin, getting good controllers, handheld mode, the Wavebird, bouncing off character creation, character creation we've liked, wanting a story to wrap around a more specific character, the generic hero, having fun with a character creator, a freeing character creator.
