Reposted by BryanHayes Madsen @solfleet.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I like Zero Company a lot. Strong tactics that smartly uses the Star Wars universe to accentuate gampelau. But wht I think is most fascinating is the tone of the story. Essentially a Rebellion-era style of story set against the aesthetic backdrop of the Clone Wars. www.space.com/entertainmen...space.com'Star Wars: Zero Company' review: XCOM-like strategically recaptures the magic of your favorite Star Wars filmsBitreactor's blend of XCOM combat and a smaller-stakes story nails what makes the Star Wars franchise so special. 35714
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Final Fantasy X was a formative game for me, something I'll never really truly be able to look at objectively.

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Really sucks how many days like today we've had in the past ~4 years in the games media space. It's awful every time and I'm kinda depressed I'm struggling to keep track of them all because it's been that frequent. 020

Watching him negotiate the gameplay mechanics on his own has been amazing.

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 11/07/2025The rare review from me! Picked up Fall of Avalon completely on a whim. Going in, I'm not sure I gelled with the general vibe. But I had a blast, though the game felt thin and very WIP. A hesitant recommendation now, but I can see it being a really special game in a ~year once its all polished up. 040

Reposted by BryanRebekah Valentine @duckvalentine.bsky.social · 25/05/2025I think, VERY broadly speaking, books and film are allowed to have messy, unsatisfying endings and games are often not.

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Here's me on Avowed. I personally enjoyed it a fair bit! But it's also the sort of game where I would probably nod along with someone if they *really* didn't end up feeling it at all. A combination of personal taste and more "slow burn" storytelling. I'll speak to it on the next Tetracast episode. 0104

Reposted by BryanAdam Vitale @drseda.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Outlier reviews/scores can be interesting! Literally everyone can think of a game *right now* that they like more-than-most or less-than-most. It's normal and fine and cool (assuming no ulterior motives, obviously). Do we want opinion to be homogenized? Sounds boring to me. 272
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 20/01/2025I guess I can keep a 2025 games list here...took me a while to get through this 1st one. 1. Kingdom Come: Deliverance I appreciated how grounded this game was in terms of stakes, nothing felt like it escalated too big/fast. I have fond memories of trying to figure out the combat at E3 2017 haha. 140

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Today I cleared The Veilguard. I came to enjoy it the more I played it, and not in a "it gets good 20 hours in" sort of way, it kinda just grew on me the more I put in, in a subtle way. I actually really enjoyed a lot of the level design and puzzles. Not the strongest cast, but they grew on me too. 010
