High On Life Review: Should you play it?

Sebastion Mauldin @SDM3 — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 11:00:00 GMT

High On Life Review: Should you play it?

I want to talk about a little game that came to Gamepass recently, High on Life. For those of you who don’t know about this game, let me break it down for you. This is a game made by Squanch games which is a studio co-founded by the co-creator of Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland. You play as a teenager- turn bounty hunter who is on a mission to save the human race. If you’ve seen Rick and Morty then you get the type of humor, writing and the gist of what this game is.

So Should you play High on Life? Is it a good single player Experience?

Our host, Sebastion will give you those answers and more in this episode of the Single Player Experience!

Title: GTA 6’s $60 Million Delay Explained, Marvel 1943 Pushed Again, and Why Megabonk Might Be the Next Great Roguelike

Another week, another wave of gaming news shaking the single-player scene.

Rockstar Games has officially delayed Grand Theft Auto VI again, this time moving its release date to November 19, 2026. That makes three delays since the game was first announced, and insiders say it could cost the company an extra $60 million. Despite the frustration from fans, Rockstar insists the extra time is necessary to reach the “level of polish players deserve.”

Meanwhile, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, from Uncharted creator Amy Hennig, has also been delayed “beyond early 2026.” Skydance Games says the ambitious project needs more time to fully realize its vision.

To end the episode on a positive note, Sebastion spotlights Megabonk, a chaotic and endlessly replayable roguelike that’s giving Vampire Survivors serious competition. It’s got humor, weird upgrades, meme energy, and enough “just one more run” energy to keep you hooked all night.

#SinglePlayerGames #GamingPodcast #BacklogChallenge #GameReview #GamerLife #PCGames #PS5Games #Xboxgames #Switchgames #videogames #podcast #gaming

Microsoft has officially raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $29.99 a month — that’s $360 a year. Along with the price hike, Microsoft announced some new perks: Ubisoft Plus Classics, Fortnite Crew (with 1,000 V-Bucks and the monthly Battle Pass), more PC games in every tier, and a commitment to 75 day-one releases a year instead of 50.

On paper, that sounds like a lot of value. But here’s the catch: many of these perks aren’t new. EA Play was already part of Game Pass. Several Ubisoft titles were already available in the library. And for players who don’t care about Fortnite — myself included — the $10 price hike feels like paying extra for something we’ll never use.

So the question becomes: is Game Pass still worth it?

For years, Game Pass has been one of the best values in gaming, letting players try new indie games, blockbuster day-one launches, and classics without breaking the bank. But $30 a month puts it in Netflix territory, and streaming services have already shown us how unsustainable that can feel.

If you’re the kind of player who jumps into new games every month, maybe it’s still worth it. But if you only play a handful of games a year, you might be better served by downgrading to the Premium or Essential tiers — or even going back to buying games individually.

For the first time in years, Xbox gamers are asking themselves: do I need Game Pass at this cost?

What do you think — will you stick with Ultimate, downgrade, or drop Game Pass altogether?

Was 2022 A Good Year for Single Player Gamers Feat. Tega

Sebastion Mauldin @SDM3 — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 11:00:00 GMT

Was 2022 A Good Year for Single Player Gamers Feat. Tega

Episode 45

Was 2022 a good year for single player gamers? To answer this crucial question, content creator and fellow single player game fan, Tego, is on the show to discuss some of this year’s best games from both AAA and indie studios.

As is The Single Player Experience tradition, Tego shares his top video games of all time and Sebastion tests his nerdom knowledge with a lightning round of trivia questions. They then discuss the next wave of gaming, the power gamer voices have (or don’t), and AAA companies being outshadowed by the success of indie studios.

Sebastian and Tego also ask themselves: How does 2022 stack up to past years? Did indie releases carry the year? Why are we giving Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet a pass? What happened with games like Ghostwire: Tokyo that were released and forgotten about?

For all the answers to these questions and more, tune in to this episode!

Diving Deep into the World of Gaming: From MMOs and Indie Games to Inclusive Features and Game Preservation

What if you could unlock the secrets of the gaming world with just a click? Hold on tight as we journey through the realms of Diablo 4 and Tears of the Kingdom, shedding light on their gameplay and boss battles. We reveal the allure of traditional MMOs and the unique camaraderie they foster when played with friends. Come along as we traverse the pixelated world of Lost Eternus, a nostalgic nod to classic video games, and examine its intriguing structure, weaponry, and the hidden lore pieces you can discover.

Do you feel the gaming industry is changing its gears? We're tackling some critical news stories including the Xbox Series S X and X extended Prime Day sales which saw a discount of 50 dollars. We'll discuss what this means for gamers like you and how it could reshape the landscape. We'll also take a look at a new Xbox feature that provides users the power to report inappropriate voice chats. We'll navigate through the potential impact this could have on online gaming etiquette and the wider gaming community. Additionally, we'll touch on the issue of game preservation, and how a startling 87% of classic games have become inaccessible.

Finally, we go in-depth into the intriguing lineup of upcoming games on Game Pass such as Exo Primal, Techno Tonica, Wandering Village, and Vimba. We'll be sharing our insights on our all-time favorite single-player games and the benefits you can reap from gaming podcasts. And of course, there's the pressing discussion on Microsoft's FTC case and its implications for Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard - a move that has the potential to shake up the gaming industry. Tune in for a gaming podcast experience like no other, where we play, analyze, and discuss all things gaming.

Forspoken: Was it Really as Bad as Critics Said?

Sebastion Mauldin @SDM3 — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 11:00:00 GMT

Forspoken: Was it Really as Bad as Critics Said?

So Our Host Sebastion Mauldin has been curious and interested in Forspoken for a long time. As a long-time anime fan, he's enjoyed many isekai anime. Forspoken feels like an isekai game with some infamous-like gameplay. Combining the isekai factor with the fact that the game also has a black protagonist (Which as a black man really speaks to Sebastion) Forspoken had a lot of attractive elements that made it a must play for our host. The game came out to some negative and mixed reviews which made Sebastion want to know if the game is as bad as other critics made it out to be. Well Sebastion has now played and beaten Forspoken and has those answers for you!

PaxWest 2023 - Day 2 Impressions and Awards 2023

PaxWest 2023 - Day 2 Impressions and Awards 2023

In This Episode, Sebastion will go over the best games he played on Day 2 of PaxWest! He is also going to give his Day Two MVP!

Here is an Excerpt from Sebastion's article on the ProNerdReport.com: "I had quite the experience on my 2nd day of Pax West 2023. So for those who don’t know, Pax West is a gaming convention in Seattle Washington. It features a variety of games from the recently released and also upcoming gems to keep your eyes on. You can go around playing the demos for the different games to get a feel for them and hopefully find something to look forward to. As a member of the media, I was invited to try out the games and get an interview with reps from the studio. This was a cool experience both on the networking side and getting to play these wonderful games. Many I had no idea even existed.

On the first day, I played some AAA games like Tekken 8, Prince of Persia, and Persona 5 Tactica. Really Enjoyed these games and look forward to playing more of them when they drop.

I got to play some more Indies, many of which blew me away and left me salivating for more. All that said, here is my Day 2 Pax West Impressions and the Day Two MVP."

Black Ops 7…Is Call of Duty’s Campaign Dead? But Indie Games Are Eating Good.Black Ops 7…Is Call of Duty’s Campaign Dead? But Indie Games Are Eating Good.Episode Description:In this episode of The Single Player Experience, Sebastion breaks down what the hell happened to Call of Duty’s campaigns — and why Black Ops 7 might be the biggest misfire the franchise has had in years. We dig into the good, the bad, the bizarre, and the downright punishing design decisions that make this year’s campaign feel like a betrayal to solo players.Then, we take a sharp turn into GOOD gaming news — because two indie games, Megabonk and Ball x Pit, are doing more for fun, creativity, and pure replayability than most AAA games this fall. We talk about why Megabonk voluntarily withdrew from The Game Awards, why Ball x Pit might have the best roguelike upgrade system of the year, and why these smaller games are carrying the genre forward.Whether you’re angry about CoD or looking for your next indie obsession, this episode has everything you need.Welcome to The Single Player Experience Podcast — your home for all things single-player gaming!In each episode, we dive into the best narrative-driven adventures, hidden indie gems, and backlog battles that every gamer can relate to.✨ Join our Discord community for game discussions & backlog support → ⁠https://discord.gg/YeCwD6gtDv⁠ 🎧 Listen to full episodes of the podcast here → ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1OBh5lXcbSKI3VCTb2qaPO⁠Watch Full Episodes of the Podcast On Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrruLWSRKIMHwhxIEV3z9lg/⁠ 📌 Follow for more gaming breakdowns, reviews, and backlog confessions.#SinglePlayerGames #GamingPodcast #BacklogChallenge #GameReview #GamerLife #PCGames #PS5Games #Xboxgames #Switchgames #videogames #podcast #gaming

PaxWest 2023 - Day 1 Impressions and Awards 2023

Sebastion Mauldin @SDM3 — Tue, 12 Sep 2023 11:00:00 GMT

PaxWest 2023 - Day 1 Impressions and Awards 2023

In This Episode, Sebastion will go over the best games he played on Day 1 of PaxWest! He is also going to give his Day One MVP!

Here is an Excerpt from Sebastion's article on the ProNerdReport.com: "I had quite the experience on my first day of Pax West 2023. So for those who don’t know, Pax West is a gaming convention in Seattle Washington. It features a variety of games from the recently released and also upcoming gems to keep your eyes on. You can go around playing the demos for the different games to get a feel for them and hopefully find something to look forward to. As a member of the media, I was invited to try out the games and get an interview with reps from the studio. This was a cool experience both on the networking side and getting to play these wonderful games. Many I had no idea even existed. On the first day, I played some AAA games like Tekken 8, Prince of Persia, and Persona 5 Tactica. Really Enjoyed these games and look forward to playing more of them when they drop. I got to play some Indies, many of which blew me away and left me salivating for more. All that said, here is my Day 1 Pax West Impressions and the day one MVP."

In This Episode, Sebastion will go over the best games he played on Day 3 of PaxWest! He is also going to give his Day Three MVP!

In a recent episode of the Single Player Experience Podcast, I talked about the best games that I played during my Second day at Pax and I gave my Day 2 Awards. We talked about indies like 30xx, Chicken Police, And Lost Eidolons. We also talked about the AAA games that I played like Prince of Persia, Tekken 8, Persona 5 Tactical, and more. Before we closed out that episode of the Single Player Experience, I gave my Day 2 MVP award. Here, I’m going to do the same thing with the games that I played on Day 3. Here are the Pax West 2023 Day 3 Awards!

On the first day, I played some AAA games like Tekken 8, Prince of Persia, and Persona 5 Tactica. Really Enjoyed these games and look forward to playing more of them when they drop.

I got to play some more Indies, many of which blew me away and left me salivating for more. All that said, here is my Day 3 Pax West Impressions and the Day Three MVP."

Street Fighter 6 As a Single Player Experience Ft. KinnikuMao

In this episode of the Single Player Experience, our Host Sebastion answers a write in from a listener. K2KlO wrote in like you can and asked "Can we get some love for some fighting games??" Sebastion isn't usually a gamer that plays that genre so he called on an expert, KinnikuMao!

Sebastion and Mao discuss the new single-player game Street Fighter 6, which was released recently. Mao is an expert in fighting games and has been playing the game for four years. They discuss the benefits of modern controls in Street Fighter V, specifically focusing on their simplicity and ease of use compared to old-school controls. They mention the 4-button layout, which simplifies motion controls and makes the game more accessible to new players. They talk about the ins and out of Street Fighter 6 and Mao takes on the ProNerd Trivia Challenge!

We've got all this and more on this episode of the Single Player Experience Podcast!

Day 1 PaxEast Game Recommendations and The Day One MVP!

Sebastion Mauldin @SDM3 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 11:00:00 GMT

Day 1 PaxEast Game Recommendations and The Day One MVP!

In This Episode, Sebastion will go over the best games he played on Day 1 of PaxEast! He is also going to give his Day One MVP!

Here is an Excerpt from Sebastion's article on the ProNerdReport.com: "I had quite the experience on my first day of PaxEast. So for those who don’t know, PaxEast is a gaming convention in Boston Massachusetts. It features a variety of games from the recently released and also upcoming gems to keep your eyes on. You can go around playing the demos for the different games to get a feel for them and hopefully find something to look forward to. As a member of the media, I was invited to try out the games and get an interview with reps from the studio. This was a cool experience both on the networking side and getting to play these wonderful games. Many I had no idea even existed. On the first day, I played some AAA games like Dead Island 2 and The Lord of the Rings Gollum. Neither game blew me away and both gave me the feeling that they would be just OK games. All that said here were is my Day 1 PaxEast Impressions and the day one MVP."

Persona’s Definitive Edition Problem, Metroid Prime 4 Review Roundup & AC Shadows Runs Well on Switch!!

Sebastion and The Single Player Experience Links:Head to Discord to join the FREE Single Player Experience Discord Server!⁠ https://discord.gg/YeCwD6gtDv⁠

For more episodes, head here:⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-single-player-experience/id1634071295⁠Summary:

In this conversation, Sebastion Mauldin discusses various gaming topics, including the excitement surrounding upcoming games like Coffee Talk 2 and Metroid Prime 4, the ongoing debate about purchasing Persona games at launch, and his experiences with Ball X Pit and The Outer Worlds 2. He shares insights on game mechanics, storytelling, and the evolving landscape of video games, emphasizing the importance of player experience and expectations.

Introduction:

Welcome to another edition of the Single Player Experience Podcast, where we delve into the single-player side of the gaming universe. This week, we're unpacking a suitcase full of gaming news, from Sega's surprising admissions to the latest updates on beloved franchises.

Persona Games: A Love-Hate Relationship

Sega has recently admitted that buying Persona games at launch might not be the best idea. With a cycle of vanilla releases followed by expanded re-releases, fans are feeling the fatigue. The Persona series, despite being a favorite, has seen numerous iterations that leave players waiting for the "real" version. This strategy, while profitable, risks alienating newcomers and loyal fans alike.

Ball X Pit: The Indie Game Taking Over

Ball X Pit has become an addiction for many, offering a unique blend of gameplay that combines elements from Peggle, Arknoid, and Vampire Survivors. With a roadmap of free updates for 2026, this indie game is set to evolve and grow, providing players with new characters, biomes, and more. It's a testament to the power of indie game support and the joy of discovering hidden gems.

AC Shadows on Switch: A Surprising Success

Assassin's Creed Shadows on the Switch 2 has defied expectations, delivering a smooth and visually impressive experience. Despite initial skepticism, this port holds its own against its PS5 and Xbox counterparts. It's a promising sign for Nintendo's future as a major third-party platform, potentially expanding its library beyond first-party hits.

Metroid Prime 4: Living Up to the Hype?

Metroid Prime 4 has finally arrived, but does it meet the high expectations? With mixed reviews, the game sits at a generally favorable score on Metacritic. While not groundbreaking, it offers a solid experience for fans of the franchise. The question remains whether it will achieve the commercial success that has eluded previous entries.

The Outer Worlds 2: A Second Chance

The Outer Worlds 2 offers a fresh start for those who found the first game lacking. With improved RPG mechanics and a stronger prologue, it shows promise. However, early impressions suggest it may still struggle to captivate players fully. The journey continues as gamers explore its vast universe.

Sleeper Pick of the Week: Coffee Talk 2

For those seeking a cozy gaming experience, Coffee Talk 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly is a must-try. As a barista, you'll engage with patrons, create unique drinks, and enjoy a heartfelt narrative. With its soothing soundtrack and engaging gameplay, it's perfect for fans of visual novels and life sims.

Conclusion:

The gaming world is ever-evolving, with new releases and updates keeping players on their toes. Whether you're a fan of indie gems or blockbuster franchises, there's something for everyone. Stay tuned for more insights and reviews in the next edition of the Single Player Experience Podcast.
