    Pentiment Review

    This week the ladies are talking from Spain about Pentiment, a very interesting 2022 game from Obsidian. This RPG is a narrative game that follows Andreas, a journeyman Illuminator in takes medieval Bavaria as he works to uncover the mysteries of the town of Tassing. There is murder, intrigue and a lot of despair. We discuss medieval pastoral life, academic footnotes, being a “man about” Bavaria, corruption in the abbey, the brutality of medieval Europe, and the challenges of video game pacing. This episode was recorded quite a while ago (last spring/winter), and lost in the archives…meaning Rachel didn’t post is appropriately. We are currently on hiatus, and will be back…eventually (we think)! We are taking some time to play games, enjoy our summer and hope to catch you all again when we return.

    Resident Evil 3 Review

    This week the ladies are continuing their play through of the Resident Evil series, and talking about the 2020 remake of Resident Evil 3. This game picks up after the events of Resident Evil (One) in Racoon City, and you play as Jill Valentine. We discuss ongoing pursuit from killer monsters, reused art assets, tension issues, mop heads, classic bad guy monetary motives and lack of gothic creepiness. Time Stamps: 00:14 Introductions 05:44 Main Topic – Resident Evil 3 16:27 Resident Evil 3 story discussion – Contains spoilers! 33:17 Resident Evil 3 final thoughts 40:20 What we’re playing next (God of War) 42:19 Ending Spiel (What we’re loving this week) From the show: Games featured in our Ending Spiel: God of War (What we’re playing next) Nemesis chases Jill because he’s designed to go after STARS members (because that makes perfect sense…). Spoilers – without revealing too much, the ending with the shoot out essentially only has one outcome. It sounds like the original had more potential endings.  Here is a good summary of changes from the original (which we haven’t played, we only have experience with this remake): https://screenrant.com/resident-evil-3-remake-story-gameplay-changes-original/#:~:text=The%20Resident%20Evil%203%20Remake's%20Story%20Changes&text=With%20Barry's%20character%20missing%20from,shorter%20than%20the%20original%20game.

    Jade Empire Review

    This week the ladies talk about Jade Empire, which is a 2005 game from Bioware. In this action-RPG you play as the last spirit monk, working to fight the corrupt forces around you.
