O3C Games

With Jonathan Dunn indisposed as a result of having his access to the internet THROTTLED, Chris and Minty step up to the plate to keep your earholes tickled with tales of what they’ve been playing over the last week or so.

Is Minty still enjoying Digimon Survive?

Has Chris actually played any games on his Steam Deck?

Has Jonathan’s mobile internet hotspot been enough for him to continue hunting those monsters?

Jonathan Dunn tenders his penultimate amendment, proffering Moon Studios’ Ori and the Blind Forest - a game that reduced him to tears in its opening cinematic - as the newest entrant into his top 100 list.

How does it evolve the format of the original Rayman? Why is the soundtrack so affecting? How near the summit will Jonathan place it?

Meanwhile:

Minty gets stuck into Digimon Survive, a visual novel-come-strategy RPG explicitly advertised as a visual novel-come-strategy RPG that the internet has seen fit to hate upon for being… a visual novel-come-strategy RPG.

Chris continues to tinker rather than play on Valve’s handheld super computer.

Jonathan concludes one Monster Hunt, before migrating to another.

Chris gleefully updates the most heinous omission from his original top 100 list, as Playdead’s Inside replaces Playdead’s Limbo as the ultimate cinematic platformer.

In other news:

Jonathan continues to vanquish beasties with a side helping of ruthless administration in Sunbreak.

Minty enjoys donut ASMR in Freshly Frosted.

Chris welcomes a shiny Steam Deck into his life.

Yo Dawg, I heard you like numbers in your numbers so we numbered a number of numbers in your number.

Disgaea is a series about numbers. Minty is a fan of said numbers, especially when they go up. How high do these particular numbers go? And how high in Minty’s list will Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance place?

…pfffffft….

Steel yourself. Get your self a cold drink. Make sure you are seated firmly - I honestly don’t think you’re ready to hear this.

Also! Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak updates! Evercade news and updates! A mobile game Minty fails to share the name of!

Jonathan Dunn sleeps.

…Metroidvania…rogue-lite…2D pixel art…Soulsborne inspired…

The words hang in the air of his chamber, lilting backwards and forwards in their slow descent.

…METROIDVANIA…ROGUE-LITE…2D PIEXEL ART…SOULSBORNE INSPIRED…

Their volume increases as they near his body.

…METROIDVANIA…ROGUE-LITE…2D PIEXEL ART…SOULSBORNE INSPIRED…NOW WITH ADDITIONAL ACCESIBILITY OPTIONS…

He sits bolt upright.

“I am awake, and I am ready.”

It’s time for Dead Cells, folks!

Also: thoughts on Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, Everybody’s Golf, Wreckfest, The Looker, Saya No Uta, Dark Souls, and Grimoire!

Chris swings in to break the rules and amend his list by.. not amending his list?

Cue a lengthy discussion on what makes Clone Hero both a game and a non-game at once, and a celebration of the diligent groups that keep communities like CH, Doom and the like alive and kicking long past their publisher intended sell-by dates.

Also!

More Digimon! More Doom! More dinosaurs! More.. dormies!

(I apologise for this joke. It’s an obscure golf term, and on this occasion I felt it was more important to continue this silly line of alliteration than to actually deliver intelligible content. I love you all, and I know you deserve better.)

Are you a fan of explosives? Fancy detonating some ordnance?

Would you like to join the Bomb Club?

Minty Booth would be happy to support your enlistment.

Also! This! Week!

Digimon portmanteaus reach shocking new levels. Happy Gilmore remains very much in town. Dinosaurs rule the earth.

Oh day of days! And night of nights!

It’s your weekly dose of the O3C Podcast, courtesy of your close friends at O3C Games.

Inspired by Chris’ masturbatory appreciation of Grindstone last week, Jonathan revisits the modern mobile classic. Minty multitasks, attempting to game his Digimon watch as he watches Digimon on the Switch. Chris sinks birdies like they’re going out of fashion in Everybody’s Golf in sad anticipation of its online shutdown in a few short months.

Ah.

ALL THIS in build up and servitude to the main event: Jonathan retrofitting Hollow Knight, 2019’s metroidvania archetype, into his top 100 list.

Chris retrofits Grindstone into his top 100 - a puzzle game described as having game feel and feedback almost sexual in its satisfaction. How high will Capybara Games early Apple Arcade standout rank on Chrissy D’s list?

At third time of asking, Jonathan finally finishes Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Minty climbs a Welsh mountain but finds time for a little R&R with Slime Rancher and Quake. Chris gets absorbed by the Square Enix live service combo of Babylon’s Fall and Chocobo GP’s second racing season.

O Lucky Man!

Minty jets off to a far away planet to harvest the dung of some colourful blobs and learn of the emotional fate of an absent mentor, in Slime Rancher.

Why has Jonathan’s The Outer Worlds playthrough concluded more whimper than bang?

Do Minty and Chris succeed in protecting Jonathan’s wallet by advising that he ought not pick up free to play title Conquer the Tower on mobile?

Why has Chris started playing the Platinum developed Babylon’s Fall, a live service title doomed by the internet at large?
