Irrational Passions Presents

Jurge and Mike got restless before the start of the IP PAX East panel, so they decided to grab a microphone, walk around, and casually chat about some of the games they played! So apologies for the mid tier audio!

Including: Animal Crossing: New Horizons & Destroy All Humans (2020)

Service work is not very glamorous. It's hard, tedious, and can even be demeaning.

Editor Jurge Cruz has experience working on the side of a line, he also has experience making coffee. In this article read of his piece, "Coffee Talk and How Service Work Can Be Meaningful" Jurge discusses how the game Coffee Talk has made him recall his time as a barista.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it turns out that Bayonetta is Very Good Actually, and that 2010 Jarrett was a fool and a sham.

This audio read is from Jarrett Green's article, "I Was Wrong About Bayonetta."

Hello and welcome to the Irrational Passions Review Discussion for Kunai. A 2D Metroidvania game partied with a fun personality and interesting platforming mechanics.

For this discussion, our editor and reviewer Mike Burgess chats with Alex O’Neill to discuss his time with the game and both of our overall thoughts on the influx of Metroidvania style games on the video game market.

Kunai has a great feel and momentum to its grappling based platforming, but doesn’t do much else to stand out from an already crowded genre. It felt a little too safe and stuck to a lot of traditional tropes in Metroidvania games that we’re starting to see left behind. The core gameplay is still enjoyable to fans of metroidvania tropes and alongside some great animations and soundtrack it’s still worth the play. I just hoped it had swung a little bit further. 

This game was reviewed on a PC with code provided to Mike by a PR representative of the game.
