Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews

Hi everyone. This episode is something a little different: five soothing, calming, non-violent, mellow games to help you unwind during difficult times. The five games I talk about this episode are FAR: Lone Sails, Journey, The Unfinished Swan, Gris and Sayonara Wild Hearts. I found all of them to be soul-soothing in their own way. None of them are expensive, and most are available cross-platform. I really hope you enjoy listening, and enjoy playing. I also give a shout out to the amazing Twitter community, with thanks to the people who pushed the show's Twitter account up to 1000 followers this week. Catch up with me there for chats, feedback and pass on your game recommendations at @gaminginthewild. Same handle on Instagram. Finally, RTs, shares, subscriptions, and reviews & ratings in the iTunes podcast app are very much appreciated to help spread the word for this little podcast. Take care out there, and happy gaming! ✨❤️✨

This charming, heartwarming indie game is currently up for free at the Epic Games Store, so this podcast was made to let people know. I played A Short Hike over Christmas, and found it to be a relaxing experience, so I wanted to pass it on to anyone who hasn't played it yet. Hope you enjoy! You can follow the show on Twitter to say hello, offer feedback on the game or the show, or suggest a game for me to cover: http://twitter.com/gaminginthewild.

Things get eerie this episode as we take a spoiler-free sortie into the dark and disturbing world of Control. Remedy’s acclaimed paranormal thriller is up for a bunch of BAFTAs, and is available right now on the PSNow subscription service, so it’s a good moment to visit the compelling, challenging, hard-as-nails environs of The Oldest House. Follow the show on Twitter to say hi and let me know what you think of Control, and - as always - thanks so much for listening. ✨

This blockbuster game was a release title for the PS4, but it looks as good and plays as well now as it did upon its 2017 release. It has since sold over 10 million copies, and as I experienced it for the first time, it was easy to see why. It takes place in a stunningly beautiful wilderness, and tells a brilliant post-apocalyptic story that's as compulsive and bingeworthy as Game of Thrones. Note: HZD is currently available as part of the PSNow "Netflix for games" service, until April 7th 2020. So if you're a member, get on it - the clock is ticking!

Welcome to the first episode of Gaming In The Wild (In honour of our featured game, we're calling it episode zero). This episode is about the surreal and brilliant Kentucky Route Zero, which was recently released by Annapurna Interactive on Steam, Switch and PS4. In this ten minute review, we talk over the weirdness and wonders that have made it an instant classic.
