Fair warning. If you are looking at the piboy by experimental pi, their website has been mostly down for months now. They seem to have abandoned the project :(

At the time, PT was the scariest thing I'd ever played. Was super obsessed with that demo.

I have a bit of an obsession with handheld systems. I've always been on the lookout for cool handhelds. Probably started with some leapfrog devices I had when I was a kid.
Some of the more interesting ones include a piboy. A raspberry pi 4 stuffed into a gameboy dmg like shell to emulate games. More recently I've been very into my analogue Pocket. I play a ton of stuff on that as it can accurately recreate a ton of older systems. I'm also quite interested in getting a playdate at some point, but have yet to justify it.
I also have some modded GBC and GBA systems. With USB c charging and nicer screens

Unfortunately, the 3D sections are nowhere as interesting as the 2D elements, and often fail at using the best qualities of the mechanics to really stand out. All that said, when The Plucky Squire is leaning on its best ideas, it’s a truly engaging and creative title that should be experienced. ------------- **[But Why Tho?](https://opencritic.com/outlet/722/but-why-tho-)** - [8 / 10](https://butwhytho.net/2024/09/the-plucky-squire-pc-review/) >The whole third act will especially leave you smiling like a fool, because at its core, The Plucky Squire is good, simple fun. ------------- **[Checkpoint Gaming](https://opencritic.com/outlet/563/checkpoint-gaming)** - [8 / 10](https://checkpointgaming.net/reviews/2024/09/the-plucky-squire-review-from-the-pages-to-your-heart/) >The Plucky Squire may be one of the most exceptionally presented video games in recent memory. In moving from the 2D space to the 3D space, a sense of wonder is created that's unrivalled by the vast majority of other releases. That sense of wonderment is captured in the storytelling as well, which leans on the charm of children's fiction. Perhaps a little too scared to create complex depth to the puzzles or gameplay, more mature audiences may find the game lacking in some regard. However, that doesn't stop the title from being widely appealing and an absolute delight from prologue to epilogue. ------------- **[Console Creatures](https://opencritic.com/outlet/798/console-creatures)** - [Recommended](https://www.consolecreatures.com/review-the-plucky-squire/) >The Plucky Squire is one of my favourite games this year. It's filled with charm, humour, and heart. All Possible Futures understands video games don't need to be complicated and bloated—the emphasis on puzzles, platforming, and combat is straightforward but done incredibly well. ------------- **[Digitec Magazine](https://opencritic.com/outlet/887/digitec-magazine)** - *German* - [5 / 5 ](https://www.digitec.ch/de/page/34764) >“The Plucky Squire” is a masterpiece that enchanted me with its creativity and charm.

It has some issues, like glitches and a less than stellar story, but plucky really is the right word to describe the game. It's technically ambitious and impressively varied, making it easy to forgive its shortcomings. ------------- **[Kakuchopurei](https://opencritic.com/outlet/788/kakuchopurei)** - [90 / 100](https://www.kakuchopurei.com/2024/09/the-plucky-squire-review-kkp/) >The Plucky Squire may not be the most challenging game you'll play. It is, however, the most charming, most beautiful, and most engrossing of these 2D action-adventure titles you'll have the pleasure of experiencing. ------------- **[LevelUp](https://opencritic.com/outlet/454/levelup)** - *Spanish* - [9.3 / 10](https://www.levelup.com/PlayStation-5/juegos/803350/The-Plucky-Squire/review) >The Plucky Squire was worth the wait; it's the definition of indie perfection: it has a lot of quality, heart, soul, innovation and charm. Thanks to the characters, their personality, the world and all the creative things it does constantly, it has become one of our games of the year and one that we will remember with a lot of love. ------------- **[Marooners' Rock](https://opencritic.com/outlet/341/marooners-rock)** - [8 / 10](https://maroonersrock.com/the-plucky-squire-review/) >The Plucky Squire is an incredibly inventive and unique amalgamation of 2D and 3D gameplay. Its charming little story is played out with a comedic tone and sarcastic humor that is a welcomed accompaniment to the incredibly fun-to-play gameplay. There were times it felt like Earthbound and others Zelda; however, The Plucky Squire was able to form an identity of its own through its glowing personality. While a tad on the easy side, The Plucky Squire is an artful and entertaining story worth exploring. ------------- **[MonsterVine](https://opencritic.com/outlet/334/monstervine)** - [4 / 5](https://monstervine.com/2024/09/the-plucky-squire-review/) >The Plucky Squire is a fun & fresh take on a classic game style, full of heart with a great message for all ages.

The full experience is wonderful, often employing a change of mechanics from one level to the next, keeping players on their toes with fresh gameplay. > >The Plucky Squire deserves a spot on anyone's list of titles to look forward to this year. It is a refreshing game amidst the barrage of AAA titles, and certainly a reminder that falling back to depend on a creatively fun and polished experience can do no wrong. ------------- **[PSX Brasil](https://opencritic.com/outlet/514/psx-brasil)** - *Portuguese* - [85 / 100](https://psxbrasil.com.br/analise/the-plucky-squire-review/) >Quote not yet available ------------- **[Press Start](https://opencritic.com/outlet/491/press-start)** - [9 / 10](https://press-start.com.au/reviews/ps5-reviews/2024/09/18/the-plucky-squire-review-a-book-worth-checking-out/) >The Plucky Squire is absolute magic, and a page-turner, from beginning to end. From its first, boisterously narrated word, the game packages so much heart and character within a rather novel, wildly creative notion. It takes what Pixar did for toys and applies it to storybooks. ------------- **[Prima Games](https://opencritic.com/outlet/817/prima-games)** - [8 / 10](https://primagames.com/reviews/the-plucky-squire-review) >The Plucky Squire is an endlessly charming adventure that tells a wholesome story thanks to its likable cast and lighthearted tone. Jumping from 2D to 3D spaces is technically impressive, no matter how often you've seen the effect play out. ------------- **[Push Square](https://opencritic.com/outlet/25/push-square)** - [8 / 10](https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps5/the-plucky-squire) >The Plucky Squire is a delightful adventure that surprises with fun ideas in every chapter. The world within the book offers unique puzzles and challenges, which is compounded by Jot's ability to leap from its pages into the third dimension. Though the combat's kinda flat, and some elements deserve to be used more often than they are, there's an undeniable joy to the game's constant imaginative ideas. It's a short but sweet game that'll win over players of all ages. ------------- **[Rock, Paper, Shotgun](https://opencritic.com/outlet/270/rock-paper-shotgun)** - [Unscored](https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-plucky-squire-review) >An altogether fun action adventure with some charming, and occasionally brilliant, 2D to 3D platforming and puzzling. But don't expect to flex your own creativity, even if it gives you the tools to do so. ------------- **[Stevivor](https://opencritic.com/outlet/424/stevivor)** - [7.5 / 10](https://stevivor.com/reviews/the-plucky-squire-review/) >While both Astro Bot and The Plucky Squire are about creativity and joy, the latter manages to get in its own way in comparison. The result is jarring. ------------- **[TechRaptor](https://opencritic.com/outlet/329/techraptor)** - [8.5 / 10](https://techraptor.net/gaming/reviews/plucky-squire-review-real-page-turner) >The Plucky Squire is an incredible action-adventure game combining 2D and 3D, but needs just a little more shine. ------------- **[Tom's Hardware Italia](https://opencritic.com/outlet/861/toms-hardware-italia)** - *Italian* - [9 / 10](https://www.tomshw.it/videogioco/the-plucky-squire-recensione) >All Possible Futures, in their first challenge, deliver a meticulously crafted work of art that surprises with several unexpected twists, sure to leave you smiling more than once. If you're in the mood for a light-hearted story, suitable for everyone, with highly original level design, then The Plucky Squire is the game for you: a simple adventure capable of warming your heart. ------------- **[WayTooManyGames](https://opencritic.com/outlet/742/waytoomanygames)** - [8 / 10](https://waytoomany.games/2024/09/17/review-the-plucky-squire/) >I absolutely adored The Plucky Squire. It takes the simplicity of older 2D games and mixes it with the fun exploration found in more modern 3D puzzle platformers. My only complaint is that I found the puzzles to be a bit too devoid of challenge, as I would have loved to have seen more done with the page-turning, book-shifting concepts they introduced. Still, this is a game that is truly something unique and can be enjoyed by everyone, especially with all the accessibility options available. ------------- **[WellPlayed](https://opencritic.com/outlet/382/wellplayed)** - [9.5 / 10](https://www.well-played.com.au/the-plucky-squire-review/) >A wickedly creative romp through a basic storybook tale of good versus evil that ends up being anything but basic, The tale of Jot and his merry band of mates is one that you will easily enjoy - remembered long after that final page has been turned. ------------- **[XboxEra](https://opencritic.com/outlet/758/xboxera)** - [7.5 / 10](https://xboxera.com/2024/09/17/the-plucky-squire-review/) >The Plucky Squire is a game clearly made with a serious amount of love for the wonderful medium of glorious interactivity that is video games. And for it being the first title from development team All Possible Futures, it’s a staggering achievement in art, design and ideas. It’s just a shame the gameplay didn’t get as much attention as the nostalgia it so skilfully indulges. ------------- **[ZdobywcyGier.eu](https://opencritic.com/outlet/869/zdobywcygier-eu)** - *Polish* - [10 / 10](https://zdobywcygier.eu/wp/2024/09/17/the-plucky-squire-recenzja/) >The Plucky Squire is one of the best games of this year. The highly varied gameplay perfectly combines with a creative approach to building the game world in both 2D and 3D sequences. The above elements, combined with near-perfect technical condition and very good sound design, put this production next to the best games of the year. -------------

Whatcha playing! I 100%ed Astro Bot in just a couple days lol. But really outstanding. Up there with Rayman origins as favorite platformer. Now I'm kind of waiting for more stuff to be out. Super excited for the new Zelda and cautiously optimistic for the sh2 remake

So the only part that is our responsibility is our backyard within our fence. Everything else is done by some landscapers once a week. I can't recall immediately if there are exact rules on how our backyard needs to be maintained, but our across the way neighbors who we've become friends with have said if a lawn gets completely overrun in weeds some neighbors may complain but really most people in the neighborhood are pretty chill

I moved into a new place in May and have been having to deal with something I've never had before... a yard
It's been a learning experience. And I want nothing more than to get rid of all the grass and do something more low maintenance. Neighbors have some creeping thyme in their yard which seems quite nice. That or clover. Also was left some planter boxes that have some sage growing in them that we're trying to find uses for. And as a sort of house warming thing a friend of mine got me some carrot and lettuce seeds!

Whatcha been playing! I finished the little metroidvania crypt custodian which was super fun! Highly recommend. Also been playing a lot of the super Mario Sunshine mod that came out "Super Mario Eclipse." Adds lots of qol stuff to the game and fun new movement, on top of 120 new shines it's really fun! But most of all I have been playing tf out of Astro Bot. Holy shit this is one of my new all time favorites. This game is so insanely good. Absolutely in love with it

I mean I suppose you can look at it that way. We can't really prove one way or another what he actually wanted. But if we're basing what he wanted on his actions, I don't see how you can pin that one on him. Like he tried to get a public option, the president can't just make universal healthcare. It needs to pass the house and Senate.
Idk about the others in your original comment and I won't pretend to, but it's pretty well documented that he would not have been able to get even a public option. How would he have been able to get universal healthcare if he couldn't even do this?

I won't pretend to be an expert on much of this, but I feel it's wrong to say that he had the power to enact universal healthcare? Obama couldn't even get a public option (which he wanted) because he had to make concessions to get a veto proof majority. I don't see if this was the case that he had the power to enact full blown universal healthcare

God the M's are so depressing rn. We started off so good this season. I was kind of hopeful about Dan Wilson just cause he's a Seattle legend but oof. Things don't look great
www.seattletimes.com
An insanely close race that was the focus of WA state for the last few weeks with a lot of lessons learned I think. 1. Down ballot races matter. Upthegrove got second by only 53 votes in the end. Vote! 2. Washington's mail voting system works. There were roughly 10 vote numbers changed in the entire state after the hand recount was done. 3. First past the post voting is awful. The Democrats got the majority of votes, but it was split between 5 candidates vs the 2 Republican candidates. We almost had a general election with 2 Republicans up in an extremely blue state. 2 candidates who are in the pocket of the timber industry. Archive link: http://archive.today/7lzkp

It's def not a great look but it's also only 1 former dev. I'm not going to judge the whole team on the words of 1 person who isn't working there anymore

I feel like short of making it free to play and having a complete art style rework this game doesn't have great hopes of ever being relevant. I mean from what I've gathered the gameplay itself is decent to good. But yeah they just misfired so hard with this.
Despite it all, I feel bad for the majority of devs who spent so much of their life working on this and who are likely going to be out of a job. Of course I don't know anything about the inner workings, but I'd be willing to bet it's not most of their fault's that sony had been pushing so hard for live service stuff under their former leadership

I mean that's one way to look at it I suppose. However I don't think the story being secondary to gameplay means we have to discount what is there available to us. Like if you want to ignore it that's fine but I don't think you can say it's wholesale not canon.
Edit: also want to say I am not taking this link as gospel, but just showing how the words can be interpreted many ways.
Also the newest timeline is on display at the official Nintendo live event in Sydney, which I would argue is more legit than a licensed book
Regardless it's not really that important, so if people like the timeline, who cares? Nintendo clearly acknowledges it, and the devs don't use it when making new games. Both can be true

Whatcha all playing! I finally finished crow country. Game was great! I thought the puzzles started off a little too easy but they got better as the game went on. Really hope to see more games from this dev soon! Started crypt custodian. A really solid top down metroidvania. I'm about 5 hours in and am at 50% completion. So pretty short overall I'd say. Def recommend if you're looking for a quick fun time

I keep trying to get into the games but never finish :/
I got very close to the end of p3p way back when that was a new game. I got past the second palace in p5r but fell off again. I feel like I get fomo in games where I try and do everything when I play a game but that's just not really feasible in persona. Same reason baldurs gate intimidates me.
It's a mental block I need to get over
Absolutely the best way to place this game. Huge props to everyone who worked on this!

Idk. Some apps have link previews which def makes it longer. You also have the option of not including review quotes which shortens it. I don't think it's too bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Game looks like some chill fun if / when I end up in the mood for an open world game. Sounds like some technical issues need to get ironed out so seems like a good pick up on sale game for me
What have you all been playing? I'm still working my way through Arkham Origins. Also playing some zachtronics solitaire on the side
www.eurogamer.net

The previews so far are more positive than I imagined.... Sh2 is one of my all time favorites. I will eat my words if bloober actually pulls this off!
Whatcha been playing! I've been playing Batman Arkham origins. Never played it when it came out but loved the other ones. It's pretty good so far!
www.eurogamer.net
Been really looking forward to this one. I'm hyped!

Whatcha all playing! I am continuing crow country and starting world of goo 2! Both great. Really loving world of goo so far. Can't believe we got a sequel after so long 🥲
www.eurogamer.net
Whatcha been playing! I've been camping all week so I really haven't been playing anything! Aside from a few crosswords here and there :)
Been a frequent visitor of this site for many years. Sad news but I'm happy the content isn't gone forever
Whatcha all playing? I've been playing Crow country! It's pretty awesome. I love the vibes and gameplay. I think the puzzles are a little too simple for my liking, but it's well worth a play. Also been playing more hitman 3 freelancer mode which has been an absolute blast
