Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami & No Rest For The Wicked Reviews

Listen Later

Dylan shares his thoughts on three games this week, leading with the highly anticipated Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, before getting into Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, and No Rest For The Wicked.

Show Dot Points

  • The launch of the Pokemon Center in Australia and New Zealand is highly anticipated.
  • There is a suggestion that Hideo Kojima should make a Mad Max video game
  • The Summer Game Fest is an event to look forward to, but expectations should be tempered. Upcoming gaming showcases and events like the Summer Game Fest and E3 generate excitement and anticipation among gamers.
  • No Rest For The Wicked is an early access ARPG that combines Diablo and Souls-like combat elements, but some mechanics, like the need to constantly craft health potions, can be frustrating.
  • Duck Detective is a cozy detective adventure game where players take on the role of a duck detective, solving the mystery of a stolen salami. The game features humorous writing, fully voice-acted characters, and word-solving puzzles.
  • The length of a game should not solely determine its value; shorter games can still provide a satisfying and enjoyable experience.
  • Pricing should be based on the overall quality and experience of the game rather than just its length.
