    Sure, it's Monster Hunter on mobile...but there's a lot of bullshit you need to put up with in order to be able to enjoy it.

    Let's meet our hosts!

    - Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter: @JakeBaldino


    - Lucy James was a Senior Producer at Gamespot for more than a decade before striking out on her own, founding https://lookingfor.game/, a newsletter and games discovery platform that serves up cool suggestions (and demo codes) directly to your inbox. She also co-hosts the annual Summer Games Showcase alongside Geoff Keighly.


    - Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he hasn't had a better job since.

    --The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was perfect when it released 28 years ago, and it's even more perfect 28 years later, though who it's perfect *for* has changed considerably in that time.

    Bold, stark, innovative and uncompromising, 'Silent Hill: Townfall' is full of brilliant elements that feel authentic to the franchise without ever being constrained by it, but a terminally limited core gameplay loop will be the fulcrum on which your enjoyment hinges.

    I strongly recommend: Phantom Blade Zero (Review) Oct 26, 2026

    Thanks to Nvidia for sponsoring the video. Learn more about Nvidia's cutting edge tech including DLSS 4.5, Path Tracing and more here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/graphics-cards/50-series/

    --

    Phantom Blade Zero centers expression and spectacle over progression-halting difficulty checks. At 40-ish hours and with over 50 bosses to fight and 30 unique weapons to collect, there's a stunning amount of videogame here, and almost all of it is truly excellent.

    Let's meet our hosts!

    - Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter: @JakeBaldino


    - Lucy James was a Senior Producer at Gamespot for more than a decade before striking out on her own, founding https://lookingfor.game/, a newsletter and games discovery platform that serves up cool suggestions (and demo codes) directly to your inbox. She also co-hosts the annual Summer Games Showcase alongside Geoff Keighly.


    - Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he hasn't had a better job since.
