1 Hour 1 Decision (1H1D)

Imagine our surprise to learn that the subject of this episode would be a Battlefield title that wasn't set during a world war. As their final contribution to the world of video games before receiving their marching orders from EA, Visceral Games developed and released this First Person Shooter all about being a cop and immersing yourself in one of those great TV crime dramas that your dad probably likes to watch. The question is whether or not that will translate into a good video game. The good news is that Tom and Chris have done their duty and completed their hour-long tour with this title and now it's time for them to share their experience with you. Will they continue to see how the story ends, or is one episode all they can stomach?

Generally speaking, we would not advocate killing critters of any kind, but there’s no pacifist playthrough for this first-person action game developed by tinyBuild. In fact, killing bugs is just a small piece of the utter mayhem that Tom and Chris were tasked with committing for their mandated hour with this title. Will these virtual spiders prove as difficult to catch as their real-world counterparts? More importantly, will the missions feel different enough to keep the gameplay interesting and our hosts itching for more when the hour is up? Let’s find out!

It’s been a little while since our hosts were last behind the wheel and the Xbox Gamepass “Surprise Me” Button is looking to correct that oversight. On this episode, our dynamic duo takes on the stylized racing sim developed by Funselektor Labs. With plenty of cars to choose from and even more stages to drive, it seems likely that Tom and Chris will each have a favorite combination that is unique to their playstyle. What will that look like for each of them and why? More importantly, the real question is whether or not our hosts want to keep driving after the mandated hour is up. Time to buckle up and start your engines, this episode of 1H1D is about to begin!

It’s like Ultima or Fallout, except it’s a western with fantasy and horror elements.

Game requested by friend of the show WanderingDutch!

Apparently this game takes its name from a term used to describe the hybrid genres of fantasy Western, horror Western and sci-fi Western. To be honest, this whole concept is news to our hosts, but that won’t stop them from trying out this action role-playing game developed by WolfEye Studios. With bounty hunters at the forefront of the narrative and parallels to the classic Ultima series, we know that at least one of our hosts is already intrigued. Will the game deliver on these promises or will it end up being a shoddy façade? Saddle up ‘cause Tom and Chris have played their hour and now it’s time for their decision!

The final chapter of a trilogy that they never started.

When you let the Xbox Game Pass “Surprise Me” Button randomly pick the games, you are bound to play some sequels. On this episode, the button ramps up the absurdity by making our hosts play the final game in the action role-playing game trilogy developed by Square Enix. Will Tom and Chris stand any chance of enjoying this game with two full games of lore missing from their collective consciousness? Will the gameplay mechanics be engaging enough to overcome this substantial handicap? The Fabula Nova Crystallis subseries has a devoted fanbase, so perhaps things are not as dire as they seem. Let’s see how far our hosts get with just one hour on the clock and discover if they will keep playing to learn how the story ends!

It's basically the combination of two of our favorite childhood things.

If you grew up playing games in the 90's, then you are probably familiar with Starcraft. If you watched cartoons in the 90's, then you probably also know about Exosquad. While this base-building, survival game developed by EXOR Studios has no official ties to either of those properties, it sure does evoke fond memories of both. Will an hour of gameplay prove this game worthy of those feelings? Now that their guard is down, will the Xbox Game Pass "Suprise Me" button finally reveal its master plan to eliminate our hosts on this 66th episode of 1H1D? Will there even be a 67th episode? Execute Episode 66 to find out now!

This one isn’t horror, but the countless ways that you die are pretty horrifying.

What happens when a knight comes home, only to find it plagued by unholy magic? Well, you can find out if you settle in to play this metroidvania style game developed by Berzerk Studio. The formula for this experience starts with the classic side-scrolling action you know and love and combines it with contemporary levels of player driven character advancement and finally adds a healthy dose of gore. Will this prove to be an ideal mix for our aging, nostalgia-sensitive hosts? Will Chris just be glad that a listener picked this game and spared him another questionably random selection from the “Surprise Me” button? Find out these answers and more by giving this episode a listen!

Let’s take horror and put it in space, what could go wrong?

The Xbox “Surprise Me” button seems hell-bent on giving Chris a heart attack. For its latest assassination attempt, it has selected the science fiction survival horror game developed by Visceral Games. Both of our hosts have somehow managed to avoid this title even though it was released over a decade ago, but they can no longer close their eyes and pretend that it does not exist. Will playing it a decade late make it less scary? Will a look back at one of Visceral’s best loved games make our hosts nostalgic for the studio or will it reinforce Disney’s decision to shut them down in 2017? Find out the answers to these burning questions by hitting play on your favorite podcast player!

After the “Surprise Me” button’s attack on Chris, we thought it would be best to let the audience pick the game for this episode. The result is this role-playing title developed by indie studio Moonsprout Games. There is some obvious inspiration from Paper Mario, but in this game the main characters are all bugs searching for a source of eternal youth. When you consider the average lifespan of the protagonists, it does seem like a pretty good time investment. Speaking of being short on time, Tom & Chris had just one hour to play this game and make their decision. Knowing that this is an RPG, will that be enough time to experience all the mechanics and get invested in the characters? You can find out right now, all you need to do is hit play!

The “Surprise Me” button is back in control and clearly the first item on the agenda is to give Chris a heart attack. Developed and published by Capcom, this seventh numbered entry in the horror franchise is actually something like the twenty fourth in the series. How is that even possible? Well, the franchise has been around since 1996 and has had a number of spinoffs and remakes, but the important thing to note about this one specifically is that it is regarded as a return to form, with a focus on horror and a fresh first-person perspective built for VR. Tom and Chris have played their hour and now it’s time to make their decision. How far did Chris get? Is he even present for this podcast or will the “Surprise Me” button need to be brought up on murder charges? Find out now!
