On this week's Random Encounter, we're talking about two new games that both take place on very different islands!First, Bob is here to chat about the standalone sequel to 2023's Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo, Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse. This visual novel brilliantly mixes real-world history with folklore to create a compelling tale with a tinge of 80s nostalgia (and a CRT filter throughout)! Did Bob enjoy it as much as he enjoyed the original?Next, Ben is here to talk about a new indie 2D Zelda-like, Under the Island. This adorable game pulls a lot from A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening while doing its own thing with a modern island setting and a hockey stick as your primary weapon (this Canadian approves). Does Ben feel like it lived up to its inspirations, or does it fall a bit short?Finally, Jono beat Hollow Knight: Silksong, which we don't cover, but it is Silksong and he REALLY wanted to talk about it, so…Featuring: Jono Logan, Ben Love, and Jerry Williams; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse ReviewParanormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo ReviewUnder the Island Review

In a bumper episode of Checkpoint Chat we share our thoughts on Resident Evil Requiem, some concerns over the launch of Marathon, the exceptional challenge of climbing adventure Cairn, the mediocrity of God of War: Sons of Sparta, the absolute BS that is Bilewater in Hollow Knight Silksong, and the delightful joy of being cat Mario in Bowser's Fury.Follow Checkpoint Chat on...Twitter: https://twitter.com/CheckpointChat​​Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CheckpointChatInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/checkpointchatBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/checkpointchat.bsky.social Want to listen to more gaming goodness, on other platforms?

We return to a game we played near the very start of the podcast, but … in port form? Much to discuss about the place of ports as transformative work and also the strange routes of design lineage, especially when we talk about NiGHTS and Sonic Team's peculiar ideas about what 3D gaming should look like.

Patrick has decided to reinvent his old column celebrating good writing about video games, this time in podcast form! Worth Reading is a new reoccurring segment at Remap with a simple pitch: 30 minutes of conversation using a piece of interesting games writing as a launching point. This week, Patrick is happily joined by writer and editor Nicole Clark to discuss her piece for the new publication Mothership, entitled “Hornet's compassion is the heart of Silksong."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of Player Driven, Lewis and Greg are joined by Joost Vervoort, Associate Professor at Utrecht University (in the Netherlands) and Science/Impact Director at Speculative Agency. We dive into the "imagination factory" of the games industry and explore how video games can move beyond simple escapism to become tools for systemic societal change and climate activism.

Werner Herzog dirigió Encuentros en el fin del mundo. Se fue en un avión militar a la Antártida y encendió su cámara. Herzog busca la verdad en todas sus obras y en esa ocasión no la encontró en una persona, sino en un pingüino. En un poético fragmento que se viralizó recientemente se observa al animal dirigiéndose solo hacia las montañas. La decisión, que abraza el nihilismo afirmativo de Nietzsche, crea un sentido. Ese pingüino es ya el símbolo de una generación, en busca de grandes retos. Kapital es posible gracias a sus colaboradores:⁠Thenomba⁠.

There's still officially six weeks of winter left – seriously, look it up, the groundhog saw his shadow this year and everything – but here at Indieventure we've been bundled up cosy playing so many lovely games that we figured we'd just talk about them right now! In keeping with our general commitment not to force ourselves to always play brand-new stuff, this episode's line-up is a respectable mix of games that were released in 2026 and games that are just… new-ish. Okay, in all honesty, none of our picks have gone back more than a year – the oldest one is only from February 2025 – but hey, baby steps. So, what have we been playing? Well, our digital climbing expert Rachel has unsurprisingly already been caught up enjoying Cairn, while Liam once again throws himself at the electric fence labelled "what you can get away with calling a Double-A" to talk about Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. Rebecca has been excavating under last September's Silksong rubble and surfaced clutching the slightly neglected but still well-worth-playing Strange Antiquities. On a break from the mountain, Rachel turned her talents to playing ghost detective in Utter a Name. Meanwhile, Liam has been playing one of those Steam games, you know the ones… this one's called Wicked Seed, and it's not actually what it sounds like, but your first thought was probably not entirely wide of the mark either. More importantly, though, it's actually a pretty decent solo-dev effort at a Resi-like, so to try to focus on that. And finally, it turns out we've all played TR-49, the latest short outing from inkle that sees you sifting through an archive of digitised books to understand an alternate history of 20th century Britain. So we whipped up a quick group review, starting with a safe, spoiler-free chat before turning to all the spoilers at 1:38:16, because this game is really too short and involved to dance around the main themes. It's a game that's best enjoyed fresh though, so skip to 1:54:03 if you'd prefer to play it for yourself first. We end, as always, on our latest hyperfixations. Rachel sneaks in one more indie game rec (technically legal, but irregular) in Type Help, an in-browser itch.io text adventure from last year that's anticipating a shiny expanded re-release in 2026 as adventure game The Incident at Galley House. Liam has been reading The Everlasting by Alex E. Harrow – yes, it's a sad book, but it's also kind of romantasy, so he knows the other two will be extra on-board with this particular recommendation. And Rebecca has been feeling a little bit too seen as a queer millennial gamer thanks to the YouTube comedy oeuvre of Blake Jennings. Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury!

Welcome to the podcast that has not lost 95% of its market value and is therefore significantly more successful than Ubisoft. This week: Chamberlain runs into a boomer shooter that is both a little too boomer and a little too shooter in Forgive Me Father 2. Alex puts his min maxing stamp on Path of Exile 2 and takes a short tour of Hogwarts Legacy. And Chance doesn't play Silksong for just enough time to download and then delete several older games.

In the first episode of our three-part GOTY extravaganza, we scientifically deduce which ten (or, well, eleven) games were our collective favorites of 2025. Where does Hades II end up? Is Baby Steps better than Expedition 33? Will we even SAY the word Silksong?!

It's January, which means not much new to play and even less news. Alex found Victory Heat Rally, a tight kart racer with a very anime aesthetic. Chamberlain finished Madragora (his favorite metroidvania of last year) and is being brutalized by cthulu beasties in Forgive Me Father 2. And Chance has officially done all there is to do in Silksong and has the platinum trophy to prove it.

2026 is here, which means our Game of the Year podcasts are on the horizon, too. But first, it's time for Rob, Danika, Chia, Janet, and Patrick to gather in front of some microphones and wonder if letting an AI beat a video game boss for you is cheating. Plus, for once, it's not Rob considering buying a new PC! We've also got reactions to Chia beating Silksong, Patrick beating Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and surprisingly extensive thoughts on “outside smell(s).”Discussed:Can We Tempt Rob With CES Announcements? - 1:49Sony Patent's AI that Plays the Game For You - 22:41 Ram Shortage Driving Up Prebuilt PC Prices - 48:02Chia's Silksong Corner - 1:25:11Metroid Prime 4 - 1:41:02The Question Bucket - 1:51:48See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy New Year! We played some games while we were gone, some of them even new. Chance learned a new character in Overwatch 2 and made several more runs at Silksong. Chamberlain finished Ghost of Yotei, a game he likens to the most comforting comfort food available. And Alex discovered a tiny part of himself that loves video-pinball and promptly gave that part his wallet.

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Bryan, Josh, and Clint finally arrive in Pharloom and dive deep into Hollow Knight: Silksong. We all fell in love with Hollow Knight when it launched in 2017 and even covered it on the show back in 2019, making Silksong a long-anticipated return. Team Cherry—Ari Gibson, William Pellen, and Jack Vine—have come a long way since the original Kickstarter, and Silksong's journey from planned DLC to full sequel reflects a uniquely protracted and unconventional development cycle. Just as notable is the team's decision to remain intentionally small, preserving creative control, efficiency, and passion while collaborating with key contributors like composer Christopher Larkin to elevate the experience.Silksong represents a major shift from its predecessor, most notably through Hornet, a fully voiced and evolving protagonist whose presence reshapes both narrative and gameplay. The game emphasizes speed, verticality, and tool-driven combat, with Pharloom's design flipping Hollow Knight's downward descent into a constant upward climb. We dig into the game's layered storytelling—Hornet's personal arc, the history of Pharloom and its people, and the larger cosmic forces at play—alongside its thematic focus on song, memory, and organized religion. Along the way, we debate difficulty, movement quirks, crest builds, boss design, and the shard system for tools. We also discuss Silksong's ambitious three-act structure, multiple endings, and whether it not only lives up to the original Hollow Knight. So join us as we close out the year exploring Team Cherry's world of bugs, beasts, beauty, and bosses.Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Smooth as SilkJosh - Flight in FightClint - Solid Send Off

Let's be honest: This whole Light of Motiram thing was shady from the get-go. A game that blatantly rips off Guerrilla's Horizon franchise, created by the publisher-and-developer combo that was later revealed to have unsuccessfully pitched Sony a Horizon spin-off beforehand? They call that 'dead to rights.' And now it's official, because Sony's lawsuit against Tencent over this facsimile has been dropped with prejudice, and the game has been delisted from Steam. That's a win for PlayStation, and an even bigger win for creativity in the AAA space. We discuss. Plus: Sucker Punch co-founder, long-time producer, and studio lead Brian Fleming is officially retiring from the team after 28 years, Bungie's Marathon is slated to come to PS5 in March, Hollow Knight: Silksong is getting a free nautical expansion in '26, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Should we expect devs to lean more deeply into attractive characters? Do we think "made using AI" warnings will appear on games at some point in the near future? Who's to blame for Highguard's tepid response at The Game Awards? Is it strange if a wheelchair-bound listener wants to proudly wear a Stand Down shirt?
