Episode 431: Between a Ballsack and a Tardigrade

The Crate and Crowbar

Tom F joins Marsh to make the biggest sticks in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, become the stick in Pacific island adventure Tchia, stick to walls in Jusant and stick it to space pirates in timeloop deckbuilder Cobalt Core.

• Just forbidden enough: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is Tom’s game of 2023.
• Tactical Breach Wizards is Tom’s forthcoming game about wizards who breach tactically. It’s very good!
• Tchia is a joyous open world adventure in which you can possess any object.
• Jusant is a very beautiful game about climbing a massive abandoned tower.
• Cobalt Core is a very funny roguelike deckbuilder about pixelart animals murdering each other in the cold void of space, again and again and again.
• Stealth makes no sense in shooty-heist game Payday 3.
• Stealth makes no sense in purported stealth game Monaco. Maybe they’ll fix this in Monaco 2, if it’s actually still in development.
