Episode 14 - Puppeteer (feat. RealRadec)
As we fast approach PlayStation's 35th Anniversary, it was time to reunite with my friend, the awesome Radec. Together, we gush about Puppeteer: one of the most uniquely imaginative pieces of the publisher's history - from the sadly now defunct Japan Studio.
We discuss how it perfectly marries Japanese folklore and British sensibilities, while also elevating the traditional 2D platformer genre with a brilliant use of the camera and epic boss fights to produce a sensation hardly ever seen from the genre.
And - yes - we lament both this game being natively stranded on hardware from 2 generations ago, as well as the near complete shutdown of Japan Studio.
