I’m genuinely surprised this wasn’t on the list.

I’m pleased that Gris picked up a win, but Sayonara Wild Hearts was robbed in both of their categories.

Think “Brexit” but for the Pokédex; that’s what they call the fact that the Pokédex has been cut down to a little over 400 Pokémon for this game. You currently can’t import any Pokémon that you have from other games, the Pokebank, or Pokémon Home if they’re not one of the 400-odd Pokémon supported in this game’s…

It’s a joke about the game’s “motivation” mechanic. Teaching your students uses up their motivation, so the comic is about Byleth giving a rousing speech before a battle but all of their students are extremely unmotivated.

“Haha wow, Pokemon is trying to meme it up but they picked something from like... five years ago?”

I can’t believe you’ve done this

Honestly, if you’re only playing for the story, the first one is definitely a game where I’d encourage the use of godmode mods. Combat in that game is... not everyone’s cup of tea.

I LITERALLY tear up at that final song sometimes.

Sometimes I go back and watch this episode just for this song.

Bomb arrows, perhaps?

Simogo was almost exclusively a mobile games developer before this, so I don’t know why anyone expected a PC release.

Not sure if it counts as hidden, but Demontower (on Mae’s laptop in Night in the Woods) is one of the most fully-realized versions of this. I legitimately spent hours just playing that.

HOT DAMN. I didn’t think it would be out so soon! I’ve been waiting for this since it was Project Night Road. I really hope it does well, Simogo makes some EXCELLENT games. They’re the kings of atmosphere.

Metroid Prime 3. That save file has been sitting there inches from the final boss for years.

Am I gonna be okay just watching a summary of the first two games? I remember getting about 20 hours into the first one and deciding I hated the combat.

On the one hand, yes, they’re drinking bleach.

I managed to get everyone before the timeskip, but it does take some min/maxing as far as conversation choices, gifts, and tea/meals. Caspar and Ferdinand were the trickiest because you don’t get their B support until after the timeskip, so you do have to dump training into heavy armor and brawl for those two. But it…

I started with the Golden Deer for my first playthrough thinking “Eh, I like the characters from the other houses more, but it’s worth it for Claude.”

Nailed it.
