The Fallout series

Stop. Zombie time. Many years have past since Psitanium played Dying Light and Dead Island. It's even been a couple years since he played them a second time. And all the while, there was a certain impression of the games burned into his head. Now we look at their sequels and, boy, the structural changes they make really changed his perception of the series. Let's discuss what changes, what stayed the same and if it was good or not.

And so we travel back to the metro to look at post-apocalyptic Russia. Good times.Once upon a time, Nathan tried playing Metro Exodus and then stopped suddenly before completing the first chapter. Now, he goes back to finish the game in it's entirety. Was it worth it? We explore the winter wasteland to find out.

Avast ye hardies. We are about to set sail with 2 naval games about the high seas and looting booty. First, we have the "Quadruple A" game from Ubisoft that finally saw the light of day, Skull and Bones. Does it stack up to the lineage of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag or somehow prove a worse version a whole decade after it started development? Second, we have Sail Forth, a smaller indie game from 2022 where you explore a water world in search of shinies and photo opportunities. Can the scrappy little game be more fun than it's major studio counterpart or will it beach itself on a rock?

There are some games I pick up for a moment and then put down, never to return to again. Many games I simply fall asleep while playing. These are not games that deserve to be on a best to worst list for how little I can evaluate them. But, on this episode of Psitanium Mine, we will be discussing those titles from 2023 and why they weren't on the list.

It’s that time of year when we do the best to worst list and boy, there are so many big titles we need to discuss. There were some truly great games that came out and also… less good ones. This year’s list has 31 games on it and it’s quite a marathon. Enjoy.

It’s finally time. We need to discuss the Mass Effect trilogy. Not only did I have a reluctance to finish the series, but apparently I had a reluctance to do an episode about it. So, let us look at the Legendary Edition, which updates and synergizes the three installments into a cohesive product. Does that help with the experience as opposed to the first time I played it many years ago? And should we still be critical of the ending?

Strange that we never talked about No Man’s Sky on this show before. Since it’s Spacember, I guess we can rectify that. So, let’s go into the infinite universe to collect carbon.

Time to discuss Breathedge for the first… second time! We did a Psitanium Mine episode on the game back in 2021, but it’s time to revisit the exploded ship and minimal gravity of this game world. Will we find our dead grandfather before it’s too late? Well, no, because he’s already dead.

Prey will make you question reality itself. You will never pick up a mug without smacking it with a wrench ever again. Arkane was in peak shape when they made this reboot and it holds up to this day. So dust off your neuromods and fire up the q-beam, we’re going to fight the Typhon one more time.
