If A Way Out was simply a single player game, I would have enjoyed it a lot. But A Way Out utilises co-op mechanics in fun, unique and powerful ways that it turned the experience into one of my favourites this year.
I'll do my very best to avoid spoilers, as A Way Out is best experienced fresh. The initial premise is straightforward, two inmates try to break out of prison. But from this initial concept the game evolves into a powerful story, as both characters have their own goals and motivations for their actions.
I'll be the first to say the voice acting in A Way Out isn't the strongest, but the writing and personal dilemmas of both characters quickly take centre stage. Once I found myself emotionally invested in both characters, it made each scene extremely entertaining. Whether my partner and I were facing off in Connect Four, or escaping the police, each cooperative aspect was delivered perfectly. Especially the final few scenes 😱
Gaming simply doesn't offer couch cooperative experiences like this often, and it's certainly something that I hope will change after A Way Out has been able to showcase how powerful the experience can be.
What did you think of A Way Out? Do you miss cooperative story based games?

Well I'm excited, I have a four day weekend!
So I thought I'd celebrate with some Crash Bandicoot love 😍
I absolutely loved the Crash Bandicoot remastered collection last year, and I'm super excited for the Spyro collection to be released.
Crash Bandicoot holds a special place in my childhood and I absolutely loved the series growing up, which leads to my question... What gaming series do you treasure from your childhood?

A Day in the Life of Kratos
(swipe for full set of photos)
Ever wondered what the God of War does when he doesn't slaughter Greek gods, or climb very tall mountains?
Well his days usually start like any other day, basking in the warm sun cutting trees with his Levitation Axe.
Kratos also has some guilty pleasures when it comes to gaming...But unfortunately Kratos wasn't a huge fan of me taking photos during his Gardening Mama time... After the battle concluded, Kratos spent the remainder of his relaxation time gaming until the early hours of the morning.
I hope you have enjoyed A Day in the Life of Kratos, and I'd love to know what you do on your days off to relax?

I saw this brilliant Cuphead steelbook on eBay and I had to have it 😍
I'm still shattered Cuphead hasn't received the physical copy treatment 🤔
But I'm still holding out hope a physical copy will be released, possibly alongside the previously announced DLC in a GOTY Edition release🤞
Have you played Cuphead? Were you able to finish the game?
I ended up rage quitting during the second to last boss fight haha. I've tried to go back, but I've definitely lost my Cuphead skills.
Perhaps one day I will finish it... #Games #Gaming #Gamer #VideoGames #AussieGamer #GamersOfAus #InstaGamer #RetroCollective #RetroGames #OutbackGamerz #GamingFolk #InstaGaming #GamerTalk #GamersOfInstagram #XboxOne #Xbox #Steelbook #Cuphead #Mugman #Microsoft #Inkwell #MDHR #StudioMDHR #IndieGame
Guacamelee 2 launches in just over one week! So I thought it was fitting to showcase the original Guacamelee for this week's #SundayShoutoutSeries.
Guacamelee is a 2D Metroidvania style action platformer from DrinkBox Studios; one of the most underrated indie developers👍
Players control Juan a farmer who is killed by the evil Carlos Calaca defending his love interest, but then returns to the land of the living as a powerful luchador.
The plot is completely bonkers, but it's fantastical nature allows for some laugh out loud moments and interesting array of boss encounters.
Visually Guacamelee oozes style, with beautiful colours and unique enemies. But Guacamelee is at its best when it asks you to master challenging puzzles/platforming sections.
Players have the ability to transport between the land of the living and the land of the dead, with a simple button press. Doing this changes the environmental layout, enemies and visuals of the level. There are some frenetic moments of glorious platforming because if this, and I absolutely loved it.
If you have never heard of Guacamelee, I implore you to check it out and the sequel Guacamelee 2 launching on PlayStation 4 in August 21.
Have you played Guacamelee? What did you think of the game?

One of my favourite games from 2018 so far is Detroit Become Human, and I thought I'd share some shorts from the art book I received with my preorder.
I think this art book is fantastic and it has an array of awesome artwork pieces. Some of my favourites I've decided to showcase are some artwork of the characters, as well as a look at the android design as well.

@quanticdreamgames doesn't disappoint when creating detailed worlds, and this book showscases this perfectly 👏
Did you enjoy Detroit Become Human? Which character story was your favourite?
