Goodbye Volcano High among NPR's best video games of 2023!!
Tumblr media
An impending meteor is racing toward Pangea, but Fang, a nonbinary anthropomorphic pterodactyl, has more pressing issues. Their best friend is showing more interest in entomology than the band they started as kids. A shy would-be paramour has started sending Fang anonymous texts. And their brother is trying to hold the family together as their parents struggle to connect with Fang. Meanwhile, news of the coming meteor rolls out slowly: It’s met first with a shrug and then with social media memes and despair — not unlike our own experiences with COVID-19 and climate change. The imminent apocalypse amplifies tensions among Fang’s gang of dorky dinosaur friends, all of whom are also dealing with the sudden cancellation of plans and aspirations. But aided by a brilliant dialogue system and Rock Band-style rhythm challenges, Goodbye Volcano High still manages to be wholesome and hopeful, even in the face of potential extinction. — James Mastromarino, NPR Gaming lead and Here & Now producer

Bread's Game Of The Year Honorable Mention #1: Horizon: Burning Shores
Tumblr media
Turns out, talking about video games I like is still fun, who knew? You know what video games are fun? Horizon Zero Dawn, and Horizon Forbidden West. Two games whose general reaction's to and reputations of annoy me deeply, because the annoying repeated memes of them somehow being creative failures because they came out among other unrelated fan favorites drives me mad. You know what doesn't drive me mad though? Playing the Horizon games, and Burning Shores is no different. Serving as the big expansion pack for Forbidden West, much the same way Frozen Wilds was for Zero Dawn, Burning Shores is a very solid, self contained open world experience that fans of the series shouldn't ignore. Not only do you get to explore a cool new area in the ruins of L.A, filled with lava like in the Tommy Lee Jones movie "Volcano" for some reason, but you get a solid chunk of new story for both the universes lore and characters. Hell, not to spoil anything too big, but Aloy even has a possible romantic interest in this expansion. Sort of going against my assumption this entire time that she's been AAA gamings only real Ace representation, but you learn something new every day. The new environment to explore takes a lot of cues from the already extant San Francisco area in the main game, but the tropical beaches still lend a lot of fantastic eye candy while you search around for new quests and activities. The main story is also a little bit of a wrap up situation, but nonetheless a fun one. Featuring a minor villain who escaped the finale of the main game, which I won't really get into details for because the surprise halfway through the base game really deserves to be preserved for new players. So many words to say, Burning Shores is a solid expansion, and an easy recommendation from me, even if doesn't quite break my top five this year. 2023 was so packed with good video games, that's not really an indicator of a problem.

2023 Sucked For Video Games
youtube
I went through and made a non-comprehensive mostly-chronological collection of all the major video game news events from 2023
There were a lot of layoffs
My next video will be my game of the year list. But it wouldn't feel right celebrating video games without also noting the mass layoffs. So over the past couple weeks I pulled a lot of articles, compiled them, and over the past 2 days managed to finish writing, record, and edit. If I did this video a year ago, it would've been delayed. But I somehow pulled it together on time.

The First Descendant - Sharen Character Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games

Looks interesting - and the fact the main protag is a sexy fembot with a wonderfully shiny hiney is purely coincidental.

Fun Game AQ3D
The star of AQ3D is Aurileo Voltaire. It is the funnest game on the Internet this week in my opinion. If I didn’t have an Aurileo Voltaire game I would perhaps go wild with anger this week.

Goodbye Volcano High among PRESS START's "Indie Games of 2023 that You Shouldn't Sleep On" !!!
GOODBYE VOLCANO HIGH The idea of a choice-driven narrative adventure combined with a rhythm game is already literal music to my ears, but Goodbye Volcano High blew away my expectations at every turn. The art and animations put it at the level of quality of a televised production and the teen garage band musical styling is so intoxicating that I still listen to the soundtrack on the regular.

Bread's Game Of The Year Honorable Mention #2: Dead Island 2
Tumblr media
I don't like to say things "shouldn't work" because I find it to be overtly cynical and an assumption that somehow things will always be bad until you decide, actually, it's good. Dead Island 2 probably shouldn't work this well, though. I vividly remember Dead Island 2 being revealed with that flashy CG trailer in the....I want to say, Sony E3 Press conference in the year 2015 (RIP to ever creating new memories in that framework, by the way). I didn't expect much at the time. I know a lot of people enjoyed it, but I had personally felt a bit burned from the original Dead Island. It just wasn't the game I wanted it to be, so while a second one could maybe improve on the formula, what if I just didn't like the formula? After ten years of constant delays, reshuffling, and restarting of development, what chance did Dead Island 2 even have left of being good? Turns out, a very good chance, actually. Dead Island 2 is a phenomenal video game, a very basic video game, but a phenomenal one regardless. When I say Dead Island 2 is "Basic" I mean no disrespect in that statement. Dead Island 2 feels like a video game that hammered home the fundamentals of game design to such a wild degree that even something as simple as thwacking a zombie with a piece of rebar in a fairly standard first person melee combat system looks and feels incredible. The simple, little things that we have all long since taken for granted are demonstrated here as tenants of video games, that, put in the right scenario, really are always a fun time. No part of me will ever get sick of an on demand drop kick move. Dead Island 2's plot is exceedingly simple, but it has a lot of fun with it. Zombies have completely overrun Los Angeles, turning it into a more metaphorical island (no giant Tsunami's like in escape from L.A here) known to the people as "Hell.A", but it doesn't seem to have dulled their spirits. Influencers, celebrities, actors, scumbags, normal people, etc. are all treating the fall of L.A as some kind of bizarre zombie killing party. It sounds like a tone that either wouldn't work, or would just be obnoxious, but it approaches it all with such an earnestly fun energy that it all comes together in a way I feel few had expected.
What that tone and energy lead to, is an always fun series of quests. Whether it's making your way through a Hollywood studio full of elaborate sets that all look like levels in wildly different video games, or scrounging through the exceedingly nice homes of Beverly Hills. There's always something new to find, and some new enemy to hit with whatever weird thing you happen to be carrying around for said purpose. Want to throw a bottle of water at a zombie, followed by a shrunken that somehow has lightning powers? Please do. Dead Island 2 may be a basic video game, but nobody ever said that going back to basics has to be an inherently bad thing. I talked to quite a few people who internalized those basics and assigned Dead Island 2 as "The Best 7/10 Game Of The Year" and frankly, I also thought along those lines. The further I get away from It though, the more fondly I remember my time with it. Dead Island 2 may not have been the hit that I expected it to be on a personal level, but at the time I played it, I think it was the hit I needed. It's a fantastic game that defied a lot of odds to be as good as it was, and it was one of my favorites of an already packed year.
