First #JustBeatIt of the year with #YakuzaKiwami2 🐉 Loved the QoL improvements over Kiwami 1. They've absolutely mastered the the tonal whiplash charm and the "just one-more-thing" gameplay loop. From Construction to Cabarets, every ridiculous shenanigan had me hooked. @[email protected]

#JustBeatIt Super Mario Land (GameBoy, 1989)
🎶“Way back in the day
All you had were three-frame LCD games.
Our journeys had a lack
Of all but travel Scrabble packs!
Yes, NES looked best,
But to put this one next game in context:
It was a milestone year,
Handheld gaming started here!”🎶

#JustBeatIt Sayonara Wild Hearts is a thrilling visual and aural explosion that plays like a fever dream. I enjoyed the overall experience quite a lot, but when viewed as a rhythm game, I found it underwhelming. I never felt like I was any good at it and couldn’t enter that essential Flow State. It’s probably best to view the game as a musical collection of varied gameplay experiences from several genres, one of which happens to be rhythm. It’s still a good game, and I’d recommend it! 8/10

Lots of travel over the past few days, so took a page out of @markmartinfan5.bsky.social’s book and got a #JustBeatIt for #FinalFantasy. Took a bit to grind out some of those ‘chievos, but managed to get the 100% (and yes, I named my party after my wife and cats…) @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

In 2022 during our trip to Aruba, I started #FinalFantasyV Now, 3 years later while visiting Curaçao, I’ve picked up that save file and finally #JustBeatIt Feels good to get this #FinalFantasy entry off the ol’ backlog. Not talked about nearly enough. Job Systems FTW! @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Rooted in some really unique sci-fi elements, #1000xRESIST hit me hard with its narrative. Its themes were mature, layered and thought-provoking, though admittedly, my head's spinning a bit and I'll no doubt be digesting this one for a while. HEKKI GRACE 🙌 @polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt

FANTASY LIVES ON! First #JustBeatIt of the year with #MetaphorReFantazio Loved the 100+ hour experience from beginning to end. Incredible storytelling, nuanced characters, wonderfully original soundtrack - I can see why this topped so many 2024 #GotY lists. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I finished out GDEX with a #JustBeatIt on the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game, wailing away on Shredder while they’re shutting down the show floor and carting away all the other cabinets. Those bosses are real quarter munchers! 3/5

#justbeatit Growing Ties (Atari Lynx, 2019)

Creative little homebrew arcade game for an underappreciated handheld system of the distant past. Measure and cut ties of three different colors, score points based on how close you get to the correct height of each customer.

Pros: Original idea, fun gameplay, doesn't overstay welcome

Cons: No music during levels, basic sound effects

Final Rating: Men's Warehouse Training Material

#JustBeatIt 3-D WorldRunner (NES, 1987)

Endless runner game before they were cool, developed by Square prior to an RPG series you may have heard of. Space Harrier vibes abound.

Pros: 3D effect & sci-fi backgrounds look great! Props for not just being another sidescroller

Cons: Mean spirited level design & enemy placements. 6-1 may have been the worst video game level I'd ever played before I got to World 8. Savestates/autofire recommended

Final Rating: Masochist's Lucid Dream
