Monster Train

[laughs]

... uh, says, "I love deck builders and I've played 80-plus hours Monster Train and Darkest Dungeon, but Splay- Slay the Spire does absolutely nothing for me.

Something about the available powers in the cards maybe, or art style? I've made multiple tries and it's like cornmeal to me."

I'm available to that.

Yeah, I'm, I'm just gonna go with that.

[laughs]

Um, compared to, like, Monster Train and Darkest Dungeon, so I wonder if that could be part of it.

I like Monster Train 'cause things can go really wrong or really well.

And I've put stupid amount.

I think Monster Train 2 I've put like 300 hours into.

But I just I don't you know, I'm not a big fan of combining the two.

Right.

But I've actually got a third secret game that I want to mention first because I've not played it much and I'm never going to play it again.

Last night I tried out Monster Train.

Did you? Oh, wow.

Come on.

end.

Get to work.

jesus right well let's move back to uh playstation and games so uh so we covered your your flirting with the monster train which you're never going back on so i see on here you got coffee talk so have you you spoke about this last episode right that you just kind of like you were getting into it and you're like an hour or so into it how have you

got on so i finished the game Not a very long game.

And originally it was literally just deck builders.

Like it was Slay the Spire and Monster Train and Nowhere Prophet and stuff like that.

But I realized I wanted to get some other ones in there, like games like Inkbound, which have a very different kind of vibe to it.

Dome Keeper is another one that's got a different vibe to it.

Sorry.

So I will say so out of the 10 different games featured on the album, I have only played four of them, and it coincidentally happens to be the first four.

Hades, Faster Than Light, Monster Train, and Dungeon of the Endless.

So of the six that I haven't played, is there one in particular that you'd be like, go play this now?

I got-

I've got Monster Train for that.

Yeah.

I got stuff, don't you worry.

And yes, you are right.

One of those is Monster Train, of course, um, because I, I've queued up a bit of information to, uh, educate you on the game that is Monster Train: The Last Divinity.

Uh, this scored a massive 85% over on the Metacritic, and The Last Divinity, that is actually DLC, I've learned.

I've spent a whopping 62 hours in this game now.

It is a great little portal game that you play when your missus is watching Bake Off.

You're not really interested, but you gotta be in the same room for reasons.

So you can turn on Monster Train, do a little run, and see what you get.

And I'm at the point now where I'm doing a lot of runs, okay? So I've worked my way through how many now? One, two, three, four, five.
