November 10, 2021Metroid Dread Review Discussion (feat. Moises Taveras) Review Discussions are an interview-style discussion hoping to discuss specific aspects of the game in question that may or may not be included in the written review. In some cases, the discussion will be the only critical conversation we put out for a game, in others it may complement a review.
Alex's Thoughts In Review:
It's hard to make any buts with me in Metroid Dread. Mercury Steam set out to make a classic to follow up a classic, and they just nailed it. Some of the best movement, mobility, and power-creep in a game like this, I've played it four times and regret nothing. Metroid Dread is just a phenomenally well made action 2D platformer, a great return to form for Samus Aran, the best 2D Metroid you can play right now, and just a worthy follow up to Metroid Fusion. It's all a Metroid fan could ask for, and with Prime 4 on the way, it makes it feel like the holidays.Follow Alex on Twitter – http://twitter.com/alfighter27

Alex's Thoughts In Review:
Deathloop is a very different approach to AAA Video Games, and I like that! It incorporates rogue-like elements into the "immersive sim" nature that exudes in the level design that you may or may not know and love from Arkane's history. It just doesn't quite go all the way with it, and feels like it burns bright at first, and then burns right out not long after. Things like loot, or multiple paths, or alternative takedowns for your targets, all get left on the sidelines as the game only gets more focused and less interesting as it goes on.Follow Jarrett on Twitter – http://twitter.com/jarrettjawn

For full disclosure, the PR representative of this title is a personal friend of the reviewer.
Quin Hoffman is joined by Andrew Cogswell of Uppercut to discuss, the adventure game where you capture creatures which are kinda bug and kinda snack, Bugsnax!
Bugsnax has you traveling to Snaktooth Island to uncover the truth behind the mystery behind the creatures which inhabit the island.

Quin's Thoughts in Review:
The most fun I had in Bugsnax was when I solving the mystery and watching the ecological structures of the island work, but these are also the parts which hurt the game. You have to be the one constantly interacting with the local bugsnax to get these interactions to happen. Even the narrative falls victim to this as well, you as the player character are very much the driving force which makes the world feel less lived in. On top of this, the big narrative reveal at the end of the game feel flat for me because it was visible earlier with the game. There is a lot of heart in Bugsnax but the game falters occasionally.Quin was provided with a review code of Bugsnax by a PR representative.
