S4E38 - Link’s Sayonara Goose Arcade - “Dedicated honk button”

In This Episode:

All the games came out this week! All of them. Each and every
one. From the new Link’s Awakening on Switch, the Untitled Goose
Game that everyone is talking about, to Sayonara Wild Hearts and
all of the dozens and dozens of Apple Arcade games released in
the last few days. There’s a ton of Fall game releases to
discuss!


And you know what? We discuss them all.


Or at least the ones worth discussing. We dive in pseudo-deep on
Link's Awakening because Void hasn't been able to devote a lot of
time on it, and Beej's copy of the Dreamer Edition was
backordered. We will be sure to discuss it more at length in
future episodes.


The Untitled Goose Game is a delight. Without spoiling
anything...there's goose who's a jerk, and you get to play as
that goose and be a jerk. The puzzles you solve...involve being a
goose and a jerk. It's awesome. Everyone should play it.


And then there's the piece de resistance...
Void Played Every Single Apple Arcade Game in 3 Days

Much of the episode is devoted to how many games on the Apple
Arcade service (free month trial, then $4.99 USD afterward) are
worth playing. We 100% believe that this service is worth the
price, if you're interested in mobile gaming and/or have kids and
want gacha-less mechanics and some just legit fun games.


We go in depth on Sayonara Wild Hearts, What the Golf?, Various
Daylife, Assemble with Care, Over the Alps, The Floor is Lava,
Oceanhorn 2, Cat Quest II, Lego Brawls...and so much more.


Like...for real, this particular service is one that we didn't
expect to find truly great games on. And we were shocked. If you
have been hesitant about the service and been like "nah, I don't
like mobile games enough" (like Beej was), then you should listen
and give it a shot. Because these aren't "good for a mobile game"
games, these are just good games. At least a lot of them are.
