RE7's intro scared me so much that I had to sing Barbie Girl out loud to myself (lol)

Can't wait to watch Monty's video about the game's return to the franchise's horror roots 🩸

RE7 is hungry. It bleeds inheritance, and blood, as they say, is thicker than water.

But does its weak final third tarnish its legacy? Or are they footnotes to a game that people claim “Saved Resident Evil?”

I wrote that before the critique! Wasn’t sure if it would be the opening of the video or a later chapter. So glad you liked it (and didn’t click off! 😂)

I lie awake at night and wonder if the last third is because they ran out of time or if they just didn’t realise how rushed it felt

Sam had a really specific vision when I reached out to her for these ones - they came off so cool!

Being able to to a stab are drawing pieces for the Baker family, and their creatures was so fun.

See I feel like I’m at a point where I should be figuring out builds but it feels like I’m just playing with whatever the currency system is letting me improve!

Her boss design is potentially the best in the series imo

Monty Zander @montyzander.bsky.social · 13h

It’s October so now is a great time to get into The Last Dinner Party. If you’re waiting for Florence and the Machine’s new album they’ll scratch that itch. Good shit.

Hades 2 is great but I’m not convinced the 1 million currencies was the way to go

Today I learned that Geoff Keighley was one of the cameos in the Muppets Haunted Mansion.

That has me very excited!

I’ve seen reviews comment on Hades 2’s plot as being a bit rubbish and edgy and maybe I’m just early game but is there some big revelation coming that changes the story of the game?

The game’s about killing Chronos while meeting cool Greek characters. I feel like I got what I paid for 🤷

I’m mere minutes into Bye Sweet Carole but it sure says something about the current state of the world that a game like this AND Silent Hill f released in the same year.

Rolled credits last night and god does it stick the landing. Excellent game! A bit of jank but well worth it in the end
