Ryan had more to say about those intimidating "Let Them Cook" type of games (see episode 9)! So, we're talking about the intimidating amount of tutorials in Monster Hunter: Rise featuring specially sent in feedback from Ryan's best friend / monster slaying buddy!

You'll get to hear a new player's experience with the Monster Hunter series and the "Tutorial Hell" every player has to go through. We also make some suggestions on how to conquer these obstacles to help YOU overcome these challenges, enjoy the learning, and "letting it cook"!

Games Discussed

Y'know, we all like to play games, right? At the end of the day, it's for one reason:

To have FUN!

But for some games, it takes a bit to get the ball rolling in that regard. So much so that you may find yourself dropping the game if it takes too long, is too hard, or frankly, some character keeps rubbing ya the wrong way!

This week, James & Ryan take a Devil's Advocate approach on analyzing these design choices and highlight the actual value they bring to the table! We also give advice on how to effectively recommend a game to your friend instead of defaulting to "it gets good after the 1st few hours I SWEAR" or "you just gotta play it".

Finally, following the hype of the Star Fox Remake (...th-the Switch 2 one), Ryan attempts to thwart James' veteran knowledge of the Lylat System residents! Let's Rock'n'Roll!

...we swear this is the last we'll spam Star Fox content (at least for a while).
