Digital Down-Low for 03/05/2020: Going Bugnuts

Let's address the elephant in the room; his name is Derek and he's here taking dictation for this weeks thread.

Kicking off with the most inexplicable release, possibly ever in the history of these threads, we have Robotech: The Macross Saga. A gussied up version of the just awful GBA port of the pretty solid Macross game, based on nobodys favorite localization of the franchise. So... umm... that's... weird. But here we are; enjoy Carl Maceks copyright destroying masterwork of an anime-mishmash. Or, more likely, don't do that, because it is, by all accounts, not a horse worth betting on

And speaking of horses, we've got Harvest Moon: One World! I.. still don't know enough about Harvest Moon to talk about this in any length, save for the knowledge that this is a video game about doing chores and also doing marriages to one another. This one has multiple biomes, but I don't know if that's a new Harvest Moon thing or not.

3/10 is a game I INFER to be like a TellTale adventure game, as it brags about being a playable sitcom, and that it's "Season 1" and it's about a terrible video game company trying to get a metacritic rating over 30%. The games trailer looked like a TV show trailer, so I have absolutely no idea what to judge here.

And speaking of games I don't have the wherewithal to speak about from a place of interest or curiosity, we have a visual novel by name of Gnosia! And it's one of the visual novels about CRIMES instead of SMOOCHES as you're trying to figure out who, out of everyone on your spaceship, is actually a no-good, shape-shifting outerspace murder-man. And each time you play, it's a different story because the plot points get all scrambled up. So while I still don't give a rootin' toot about the genre, I can't help but think that's rad as shucks!

Kill it With Fire is certainly the game I'm most excited for this week, and it's probably either the best or worst video game for the arachnophobe in your life. Or the spider-lover in your life. Either way, there are spideys in your house, and you are tasked with getting rid of them dang ol' buglies any way you can.

One may perhaps argue that spiders are good because they catch and eat more dangerous bugs, but I would counter that strapping plastic explosives all over your house is an even more effective means of pest control.

And backing up the rear is Sea of Solitude, an emotions-em-up platformer about a MONSTER (furry girl, but, like... not a varmint, just very hairy) who is on a boat and cruising through flooded cities trying to get around other, equally furry monsters (in this case; zom-birds and giant hairy eels and the like). Lots of hair in this game. Big coifs.

I am going to spend an entire afternoon figuring out how best to pun "gnosia" and "amogus"

giant hairy eels

I forgot about this game but looked it back up and remembered it, and also yeah you weren't kidding

I had been looking forward to the PS4 release of Sea of Solitude ever since the Steam version was announced... then I completely forgot about it. Is there any difference between it and the Switch version?

Sea of Solitude looks interesting, but reviews of the original version look mixed, so I’ll be curious if the director’s cut makes enough changes to make it more universally praised.
