Rage

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/05/28

Going back to some old games has had mixed results. Recently, Nathan had a notion to go back and play Rage. Originally, this was a lukewarm title for him and, well, it still kind of is. Let's discuss why in this episode of Psitanium Mine.

We Happy Few

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/05/21

Put on a happy face, because you have to. Nathan played We Happy Few after stepping away from it for a few years and spent some time yet again in Wellington Wells. Does this dystopic alternative universe hold up with the advent of time? Or does the cheeky title from Compulsion fall flat of it's lofty ambitions?

Unsighted

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/05/14

So there are more souls-likes than we shake an ineffective stick at. The indie scene is going with the top-down Zelda-style souls formula, such as Death's Door and Tunic. But while Nathan did not get far with those titles, he did finish Unsighted, the story of an android trying to stop a mysterious entity to save another android. So, why did he finish it? What was so special about it? Well, the answer will likely not surprise you.

Cyberpunk 2077

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/05/07

And so we return to Psitanium Mine following our break and we are going to do it in style. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most talked about game releases in the past few years... for better or worse. While there were many, many problems with the game on initial release, things have changed considerably. Into this new, improved version of the game comes Nathan, who stepped into the fashionable shoes of V to mess around in Night City with Keanu Reeves. So, is it good now? What is the lesson we can take

The Borderlands Series

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/03/26

With Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands releasing this week, Nathan waxed nostalgic about the entire Borderlands series up to this point. Having jumped back to Borderlands 2 and 3 a bit and streaming some of Assault on Dragon Keep, the series has definitely been in the forefront of his mind. So, let us discuss the series from the beginning including the story lines, the vault hunters, the DLCs and the mechanics they implemented. Which one was the best… in a subjective sense obviously? Let us dive deep into

Windbound

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/03/19

Sailing takes me away to where I’m going… and in Windbound you do quite a bit of it. Of course, you might have to contend with frustrating inventory management, resource collection and combat along the way. But the sailing is pretty cool. Is it cool enough to overcome it’s problems? That’s probably worth discussing.

Dreamscaper

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/03/12

I’ll see you in your dreams, because that’s where the majority of this game takes place. Dreamscaper takes the rogue-lite framework and applies it to the idea of dealing with personal anxiety and psychology. Battle fear in the dream world and then use the inspiration of your success to give a coaster to new folks you meet in the waking world. Ideas, daydreaming, meditation, finger guns and giant frying pans… yes, this is a real game. Sleepfight with me on this episode.

Quick Attacks (Guild of Dungeoneering, Darkest...

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/03/05

Today on the show we focus on the three D’s": dungeons, darkness and death. Fun times, right? On this episode we discuss building your own dungeon with cards in Guild of Dungeoneering, watching your party go insane in Darkest Dungeon and reaping souls as a bird in Death’s Door. Did any of this work for me? Okay, these are going to be some spicy takes…

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/02/26

Robot dinosaurs hunts? I'm sold. Join Aloy on a large open-world adventure where you will craft, hunt, storm forts, climb towers, gain new skills, acquire better weapons, journey into ancient ruins, climb mountains, go on fetch quests... wait, have I played this game before? Find out if I experienced De Ja Ubisoft playing Horizon on this episode of Psitanium Mine.

Nobody Saves the World

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/02/19

In a game where you can play a zombie, a horse, a slug and an egg, can there be any consistency in gameplay? Well, not really, but that's kind of the point. Nobody Saves the World casts you as many characters with many skills and abilities to create a Zelda-esque adventure unlike anything you've played recently. Does that work or not? Well, we'll discuss that in this episode of Psitanium Mine

The 2021 Bucket List

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/02/12

There's only so many games you can play in the same year they release. While trying to play a bunch from 2021, there were still those that were on my list before I could make a list. What is still on that list? Will I actually play these games? Well, we'll find out together. Let's discuss why these 16 games are on my list.

Chronos: Before the Ashes

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/02/05

After playing Remnant, I got to thinking about other games in this world. So, I played some Chronos: Before the Ashes and found that it's a very different game. Some things work well, other things are not as interesting. The time jump mechanic is also very unique and worth discussing. So let's trade out our gun for a sword for reasons and discuss another souls-like.

Generation Zero

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/01/29

Imagine a hunting game with robots. But wait, imagine if the robots also hunted YOU! Well, you don't have to, because that's basically Terminator. It's also Generation Zero, but likely less entertaining. Let's open a lot of car doors and shoot at mobile metal death machines in this episode.

The Good Life

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/01/22

Well, I tried. The Good Life is basically what would happen if Swery tried to make Stardew Valley. And it's a very strange game of course. Naomi goes to a quaint English town to find that people turn into cats and dogs. But don't worry, because you get to turn into a cat and dog as well, while taking photos of the quaint English town. So, how long could I play this game? Well, let's talk about that.

2022/01/15

Ah yes, here it is, the one and only yearly list of every game Psitanium played from the year in a ranked list. We look at the best things I played this year all the way down to the complain-a-thon at the bottom. In the middle is the bland, the shrug-worthy and the ones with good ideas that were poorly executed. Let’s sort through all of it on this exhaustive list of 30+ games. Get comfortable.

Remnant: From the Ashes

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/01/08

From zero to hero, we take a second look at a game I did not like at all and realize it's good actually. "Dark Souls with guns" is actually more of a lighter, easier, more customizable experience than the Souls game and it works surprisingly well. Let's do a full 180 on a game in this episode.

Skyrim

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/01/01

On this very special edition of the show, we talk about the little-known RPG called Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Many people have yet to heard about this epic RPG, but perhaps this episode will finally bring it some much-needed attention. Let us discuss the main game, the Special Edition, stuff we got for the Anniversary Edition, some DLC stuff and a whole lot about mods on the first episode of Season 3.

Everspace 2

Psitanium Mine ·

2021/12/25

If you love space combat, light RPG elements and getting blown up by sniper drones, here's the game for you. Everspace 2 might only be in early access, but it's a full-fledged game with plenty of content that looks great, plays great and keeps you coming back for more. And you'll have to keep coming back for more since your inventory fills up almost instantaneously. Let's dive into the inky blackness of space to discuss this ambitious title.

Marvel's Avengers

Psitanium Mine ·

2021/12/18

Marvel's Avengers, not to be confused with Marvel Studios' Avengers that made all the money, is a game that would very much like to capitalize on Marvel Studios' Avengers to get all the money. But it's not really the same thing and released in a very rough state. Luckily, we're a year out and have the benefit of time to get a better picture of this game, so let's see what the stunt doubles can do in Crystal Dynamics' hands.

Echo Generation

Psitanium Mine ·

2021/12/11

If you like Stranger Things and want to play a game like that... well, there are some Stranger Things games. But, there is also Echo Generation, an homage to classic games like Earthbound. You battle raccoons, meet an alien squid and get attacked by an angry spirit in your school. This game is weird and it likes it that way.
