The Besties: Raging Against the Dying Light 2

February 13, 2022 4:08 AM

This week we're discussing Dying Light 2, a game that poses a novel question: What if dead people turned into monsters and you had to hit them with pipes and stuff? Also, we calculate the precise amount of time games are allowed to not be fun before they get fun. Also discussed: OlliOlli World, Finding Drago, Vampire Survivors, Everyday Shooter. Direct Episode Link.

And with this post, we're caught up! The Besties backlog since 2000 episode mark back in October 2021 is all here. Moving forward, new posts will only go up when new eps drop.

This ep both made me want to play DL2, and also was a very compelling argument that I should not play DL2.

Yeah, it's a zombie game so I'm going to always skip it, but it's interesting to hear what folks consider the pros and cons.

I bounced off DL1 pretty hard, but I also was playing it fairly early after release, and my understanding is that it (like No Man's Sky) eventually became a very fun game.

Olli Olli World looks like a solid buy for me after the inevitable price drop as well. The art style is too pretty to ignore.

I made a post about OlliOlli World! It is EXTREMELY HARD. It's a game where you practice to get gud. It is, also, very pretty and when you have a good run it is an amazing feeling.
