194: GOTY 2023 - John's Games Of The Year

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2024/01/06

2023 was a great year for games, and after three great guest episodes covering the big swings, hits, and misses of the year, it's time to share my own favourite games of 2023. The list has been laboured over, and feels a bit less critically tidy and a bit more personal than previous years. I hope you enjoy it – I truly loved all of these games. And as always — many thanks to the show’s 57 patrons! If you'd like to join them in supporting the show on Patreon, you can do so from $1 per month at

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/12/16

It's GOTY season, and what better way to kick things off than with special guest and friend of the show Brad Gallaway, co-host of the So... Videogames Podcast. We went long and had a great conversation about everything from big hitters like Zelda, Starfield, and Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 to indie gems like Lamplighter's League, DREDGE, Birth, and many more.

This week's bumper episode runs through the big winners at The Game Awards 2024, with a rundown of my top 10 new game announcements, including Pony Island 2, Big Walk, Lost Records, and more. I also give in-progress reviews of three games I've been playing: Inkle's A Highland Song, Ubisoft's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and a viral Kickstarter hit called Backpack Hero.

189: Pizza Tower, Sludge Life 2

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/12/03

Sludge Life 2 is an extremely welcome sequel that gives us more of the original’s winning formula. It’s an improbably enjoyable game that mixes high-speed first-person parkour with tagging, urban exploration, puerile humour, a wavy soundtrack, and a bleak world full of hilarious NPCs just trying to get through life. In the roundup: Jingle Jam 2023, A Highland Song, December releases, Backpack Hero, and more. And many thanks to the show’s 59 patrons! If you'd like to join them in supporting the

This week's show is a little grab bag of demos and new releases, including Teardown, Coral Island, Wordless – and a super intriguing sci-fi mystery game called 1000xRESIST. In the roundup: Sludge Life 2. And many thanks to Steve, the show’s new patron!

187: Goodbye Volcano High

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/11/17

Goodbye Volcano High is a lushly produced visual novel about a high-school band at the end of the world. Playing as a hot goth dino called Fang, we navigate crushes, fallouts, band practice, and roleplaying sessions, all via dialogue choices & light rhythm gameplay. It’s an absorbing story game lit up by sparkling writing, sensuous art, and a dreamy guitar-pop soundtrack. Also: The Game Awards nominees – Starfield SNUBBED! :') And many thanks to the show’s 56 patrons! If you'd like to

186: Alan Wake II

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/11/11

A blockbuster sequel long in the offing, Alan Wake II offers an original, cutting-edge audio-visual presentation. But its ambition as a showpiece and a spectacle is mirrored by a surprising lack of creativity in other areas, that makes it a uniformly dull – and sometimes frustratingly illegible – gameplay experience. In the roundup: Goodbye Volcano High, Thirsty Suitors, November release. And many thanks to the show’s 56 patrons! If you'd like to join them in supporting the show on Patreon, you can

185: Jusant

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/11/04

Jusant is a chill, mechanically innovative climbing game, in which a nameless protagonist climbs a huge rock tower in a dry, deserted word. The wordless story adds some intrigue, and the methodical, tactile, handhold-by-handold climbing really shines. Also: first thoughts on Remedy's Alan Wake II.

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/10/20

Nour: Play With Your Food is a bizarre physics-driven rhythm game that's all about... well, playing with food. The player rains food items into a scene, hitting buttons in time to responsive music, and… seeing if anything happens? As it all devolves into a chaotic spectacle, sometimes it seems like there's a game structure trying to emerge. Ultimately, not much is clear – except that it’s fun. In the roundup: some first impressions of sensible racer Forza Motorsport, and a quick look at the

182: Under The Waves

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/10/13

Under The Waves is a narrative-driven underwater adventure about a deep-sea diver dealing with loss. It shines brightest during its mesmerising ocean-floor exploration in a tiny submersible craft, which made for some epic moments. In the roundup: Dead Space Remake, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, The Crew Motorfest, and more. And many thanks to the show’s 52 patrons!

181: Cocoon

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/10/07

Cocoon is an enigma. As a green-winged bug, we hop between dimensions, facing puzzles that are in turn intricate and frustrating. It’s slick, polished, and impressive, but uneven, demanding, and narratively vague. In the roundup: Station To Station, Wargroove 2, Under The Waves, Jusant, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Alan Wake 2, Spider-Man 2, and other October release highlights. And many thanks to the show’s 50 patrons! If you'd like to join them in supporting the show on Patreon, you can do so

180: Gunbrella, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2.0

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/09/29

Gunbrella is slick, snappy, vibey action-platformer with a surprisingly affecting story, and some welcome adventure game elements. It’s heavy on style, and short in runtime. In the roundup: Baldur's Gate 3 impressions at 4hrs played, Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, Cocoon, Saltsea Chronicles. And many thanks to the show’s 50 patrons!

Starfield is a huge game! Now 70 hours in, this week's show goes into more of the game's systems: ship combat, ship building, base building, quest types, crew members and NPCs, and some fun story-stuff spoiler chat after a big ol’ spoiler warning. In the roundup: Mythforce, Chants of Senaar, Nour: Play With Your Food, The Pale Beyond, Solar Ash, and all the September releases: Cocoon, Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, Gunbrella, Fae Farm, Mineko’s Night Market, and more.

177: Starfield

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/09/10

We have liftoff! Starfield is the long-awaited spacefaring RPG that's dizzying in its scope, depth, variety and possibility. It’s also an uneven and characteristically idiosyncratic Bethesda experience - but 40 hours in, my journey has been packed with awe-inspiring moments, and has inspired a very pure kind of gaming satisfaction.

176: Fort Solis & Starfield

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/09/02

Fort Solis is an atmospheric sci-fi mystery set on the dark side of Mars. It ramps up the suspense masterfully in the opening stages, and has an interesting story to tell, but is held back by some narrative ambiguity, egregious QTEs, and somewhat basic gameplay. Also: Starfield impressions, three hours in, and a first look at Sea of Stars. And many thanks to the show’s latest patron, Cousin Jack!

175: Shotgun King, Adore, Gamescom '23 Most-Wanted

Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews ·

2023/08/25

Shotgun King - The Final Checkmate is a unique turn-based roguelike that’s a mutant form of shotgun chess. It’s very light on content, but the brilliant concept, ever-evolving ruleset, and affordable price make it an indie oddity worth experiencing. Punkcake Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/punkcake Great Punkcake interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGxYOu4YeXc In the roundup: Adore mini-review, Horizon: Burning Shores, Gamescom Opening Night Live, The Future Games Show, Pacific Drive, Alan
