Pursuing Pixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  John is on an impromptu honeymoon, so we're back to the original trio for this week.  Randall is on the Nintendo beat per usual, and gets in the Halloween spirit with their newest release, Luigi's Mansion 3.  Kevin is bent on his usual tough-as-nails platformers and digs into a couple of small-ish indie titles, Kuso & Atomik RunGunJumpGun.  DJ & Kevin are still chasing down the horizon in Race the Sun, which is quite the seductive autorunner experience—we've still gotta get our hands on a VR rig at some point!  We also check out the demo for an unassuming 2.5D platformer that none of us had ever heard of, Jet Kave Adventure.  DJ also has a short segment on Linelight, an attempt to reduce gameplay down to its most basic form.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Kevin finishes another game, believe it or not, and digs into Anodyne with John, who is just getting into its early stages.  Randall journeys back to an Elusive Age and somehow remembers the full title for Dragon Quest XI on Switch.  John sticks in the realm of JRPGs and gets into the many quality of life improvements offered up in the new Remasters of the Final Fantasy series.  DJ's still hanging around and hacking away in the Darkest Dungeon.  And, to no one's surprise at all, Kevin's playing another indie platformer, Bomb Chicken.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Randall's back this week just in time for October's GOTM, Caveblazers.  He's also back to give us some early impressions of Nintendo's latest exercise-centric endeavor, Ring Fit Adventure—though it is certainly not the ideal game when you're under the weather.  Kevin introduces DJ & John (and himself) to Race the Sun, a mighty thrilling, minimalistic auto-runner (flier?) experience.  (Is Kevin ever gonna get the VR setup he keeps talking about?)  John & Kevin get into a bit of a predicament with the visual novel/puzzle battler hybrid, The World Next Door.  We also take some time to talk some more DOOM, as DJ inspired John to play through the entire game all over again, and we get some thoughts from Randall's end, as well.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're bent on utter destruction with a bunch of combat-heavy games to talk about this week.  John is on the crew full-time, but we're still missing Randall for this one.  Kevin gets things started with a new release of an early indie classic from Vlambeer, Super Crate Box.  DJ finally gets around to trying his hand at 20XX—he beats it on hard mode and unlocks new characters that we didn't even know existed, to no one's surprise at all.  John straps into his mech and turns his brain off (is that safe?) with the slightly under the radar, Nintendo-published Daemon X Machina.  DJ takes us down to the gruesomely pixelated depths of the underworld with Slain: Back From Hell.  We hang out a little while longer in the netherworld as John & DJ get into DOOM (2016) in anticipation of the upcoming (and slightly delayed) DOOM Eternal.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, John fills in for Randall, and also joins the podcast full-time!  (Or, at least whenever he can.)  He's also a man of his word and is back to share some brief thoughts on a PP favorite, Chasm.  Apart from that, we dance over to Cadence of Hyrule thank to a little nudge from Link's Awakening last week.  John and Kevin each dip into new puzzle games out on the Switch—Cyber Protocol puts Kevin into a trance with it's neon-cyberpunk aesthetic & John introduces the rest of us to Crossniq+, a competitive puzzler with serious Y2K-era aesthetics.  Kevin & DJ also blast their way through Omega Strike...a wish list game.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, Randall and Kevin take a trip to Koholint Island in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.  Kevin and DJ can't resist the call to the throne, this time taking a look at a 'sequel of sorts,' Kingdom: Two Crowns.  Randall finishes off Chasm completionist-style, and shares some closing thoughts on one of our favorite indies in recent memory.  DJ closes us out (and makes up for lost time) with a couple of brutal titles—Serial Cleaner, a stylish, jazzy little stealth game, and Darkest Dungeon, which needs no introduction...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels—and welcome back to DJ!  He's back with us this week for a discussion on September's GOTM, Katana Zero.  Apart from that, we've all (for once) been playing through some new releases lately.  Randall and Kevin give some early impressions on Untitled Goose Game.  Randall also checks out one of the most intriguing games in the Apple Arcade lineup (though he's playing it on Switch), Sayonara Wild Hearts.  DJ closes us out with the surprisingly lengthy (and difficult) final chapter of Celeste.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  John is officially paying Kevin rent, as he joins us for yet another week of gaming chatter, filling in for DJ.  He's also the only one playing anything shiny and new, with the delightfully charming Wilmot's Warehouse.  Kevin finally gets around to checking out NieR: Automata, crossing his fingers that his PS4 doesn't take flight.  From there, Randall and John hack and slash their way through a longtime staple, Diablo III and follow that up with some more NBA 2K19 and general basketball talk. John's also takes a trip down (recent) memory lane, recapping his decade-and-a-half long experience with Kingdom of Loathing.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  John is back once again, filling in for DJ this week.  Randall and Kevin descend beneath the surface and look to set the record straight on Chasm.  20 SNES games have finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch—we have a quick round table highlighting what we've been playing since they arrived, including Stunt Race FX, F-Zero, Breath of Fire, & more.  Kevin gives a quick update on his time with No Man's Sky, and continues his space travels with Astroneer & Void Bastards (both available on XBox Game Pass).  John and Kevin wrap things up with some early impressions of Risk of Rain 2, and they can't wait to play more!

Welcome back to Pursing Pixels.  John joins us once again this week, doing his best to keep us relevant with Fire Emblem: Three Houses.  Kevin and DJ build a couple empires of their own in Kingdom: New Lands.  Kevin and Randall follow that up with a look at the quickly-forgotten action-puzzler on the Switch/3DS, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido.  We wrap things up with a little more Nintendo talk, discussing the two most recent additions to the Switch's NES Online offerings.  Randall takes a stroll down memory lane with Kung Fu Heroes, while Kevin takes a look at an overlooked gem, Vice: Project Doom.
