Laika: Aged Through Blood is out on Switch, and I cannot recommend this game highly enough, it's an incredibly unique "Motorvania" where you play as a coyote biker mom in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, it's gorgeously animated and has one of the best soundtracks ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHJj... - ThreadSky

The Puppy plushie on Makeship is only 16% funded. I'm doing my part to fix this. https://www.makeship.com/products/puppy-plushie

Oh my goodness!

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•28 days ago

Okay, had to back that myself too

Wait when did it come out? I spent ages waiting for it but somehow missed it?

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•28 days ago

On Switch? Just launched.

On PC it was out in 2023

I find it a pretty hard sell because you have to be the right kind of person to vibe with the controls

sweetshark.bsky.social•28 days ago

I have it on Steam and I was planning playing it.
I am glad for that.
However does it work in Switch well?

My one caveat about Laika is that, going in, you have to know that it’s really violent and set in a real crapsack world, and leans into that. Some people may be uncomfortable with it for that reason.

Otherwise, very unique and interesting game I highly recommend.

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•28 days ago

Genuinely can't recommend the game highly enough

I'm getting the impression it feels like half the games I used to play on Kongregate and I'm here for it.

Kind of looks like Excitebike as a Metroidvania?

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•28 days ago

Maybe? I never played Excitebike to compare

xinthus.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yeah, if you can get used to the controls, I have a hunch it's a hoot. I could not get used to the controls. :P

It does look dope.

runtripfall69.bsky.social•28 days ago

That had me so confused for a second just reading the first word of the title.

So good! It’s sort of like Trials meets Metroid, with a way darker story than it first appears. The bike is a lot easier to land than in Trials, but it’s still tricky to master the biking and shooting simultaneously (doing a flip reloads). Fast travel was a bit cumbersome but overall I loved it

Motorcycle dog with the same name as my pup??????????? Need to play this

jonnyjonman.bsky.social•28 days ago

is it weird that i thought red candle games is responsible for this game? because the art reminded me of Nine sols

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•28 days ago

You know, it's not that weird

hotpaper.bsky.social•28 days ago

beat it last month and it ended up being one of my favorite gaming experiences of 2024 (know it released a year earlier). The soundtrack will dig itself into your soul
