Baddy Breakdowns: a video game podcast

While Maddy was on vacation and the world was waiting for Tears of the Kingdom to release (huzzah!) Bridgette started chipping away at her Playstation backlog and played Horizon Zero Dawn! Join as we deep dive into the mysterious pre/post apocalyptic world of Horizon Zero Dawn and play as Aloy searching for answers about who she is, what happened to the world, and do long main quest missions that maybe should have been side quests. Stick around to the end to hear why we are not playing Redfall next week. Next up: TEARS OF THE KINGDOM!!!

This week we play the "one bit" adventure puzzle game, Return of the Obra Dinn. In this episode we have used our newly acquired logical deduction skills to deduce that this game was pretty freakin' fun.

Coral Island - released into Early Access in October 2022 - is a mix of Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Stardew Valley. Join us as we clean up the island, fix up our farm, save some magical giants, and romance the super, super hot locals. Seriously. So hot.

This week we're talking about the recently released and FREE game Bloody Hell. You play as a cute little angel birb sent by God to Hell to take down the big bad himself - Satan. As a fun bonus, we were able to ask the devs some questions via discord about their journey creating this game! So grab your holy water and join us as we quite literally go to hell!

This week we are wrapping up Women's History month by playing the 2013 Tomb Raider! Why are we killing deer "for food" when there is no hunger stat, why are there a million dead bodies on this "secret" "isolated" island, and why does Lara constantly fall? Listen as we try to answer these questions while also feeling like badasses as we murder hundreds of dudes with our bow and arrow!

This week we are kicking off Women's History month by playing Butterfly Soup, a visual novel by Brianna Lei. It's a heartwarming coming of age story that follows four asian girls playing baseball, navigating their families' expectations, and coming to terms with their own identities. Stay tuned to the end where we talk a bit about what else we are playing lately. Enjoy!

To follow up our last episode on the game The Last of Us Part 1, we're releasing a special off-week episode to dive into the first two episodes of HBO's The Last of Us TV series adaptation. We talk differences between the show and the game, our favorite (and least favorite) things, and even conspiracy theories 👀

Show Notes

I know- you can't escape The Last of Us content, Pedro Pascal thirst traps and Linda Ronstadt are everywhere. Well you aren't going to get relief here- join us on our first anxiety-filled play through of The Last of Us (Part 1). Next week we'll be talking about the new show on HBO!
