00:33Fighting Kessler Infamous
00:42Between the mass murder, manipulation and even killing Cole's girlfriend it's fair
00:47to say that Kessler was a menace in dire need of getting thunderstruck.
00:51Unfortunately for Cole his nemesis isn't some street punk but also an electrokinesis
00:56user whose powers even eclipsed his own.
00:59Best in Kessler is an unexpected difficulties fight that had plenty of players sweating
01:04back in the day.
01:15Even after getting your revenge whatever sense of victory you may have had is stripped away
01:19when the game reveals that Kessler is actually Cole from an alternative future who orchestrated
01:25his past self's own misery to prepare him for the threat to come.
01:29Now that's what you call shock value.
01:31I take one last look down at myself, my future self, and turn away the rage curdling inside.
01:40I hate everything about Kessler.
01:42Playing the game, Superman The New Superman Adventures.
01:52We're dead serious, just booting up Superman 64 is an act of masochism.
01:57This iconically malign game tarnished any and all sense of fun by turning the Man of Steel
02:02into a non-functioning mess.
02:04It's not so much punishing as it is downright broken.
02:08Everyone knows how painful the opening level is, where you have to fly through a series of
02:12rings before the timer runs out, except the flying controls are beyond janky.
02:16To the point you'll have to rely on muscle memory to make it through.
02:28The rest of the game's not much better, to the extent it feels like it's going out of
02:32its way to trip you up.
02:33The symbol of hope deserved so much better.
02:44Playing with lacklustre teammates, Marvel Rivals.
02:56This obviously applies to hundreds of co-op games, but it especially rings true in hero
03:01shooters.
03:02And Marvel Rivals is no exception.
03:04Look, we've all been there, healing like a champion only for the duelists to flub it
03:08at the last second, holding the line as a tank only for the rest of your team to drop the
03:12ball and cost you the game.
03:20Wapping into a game of Marvel Rivals truly is a roulette in terms of quality, and it is
03:25endlessly frustrating.
03:27Of course, it goes without saying that we've also all BEEN said lacklustre teammate, for
03:32one reason or another.
03:33It takes one to know one, just another wall to climb if you want to make it to Grandmaster.
03:39I am ready to put on a show!
03:42Well, you can't expect a little mall.
03:46Pizza Delivery, Spider-Man 2.
03:49Spidey, you da me!
03:59The meme that will follow the web-slinger to the grave.
04:03Making pizza deliveries across New York is somehow way more tense than taking on the likes of
04:08Doc Ock.
04:09Each new delivery demands tighter time constraints and further distances to swing, but the real
04:14kicker is that every time you flip, an essential move if you want to pick up speed while web-swinging,
04:19you damage the pizza.
04:28Pair all that with the legendary soundtrack, and it won't be long before you'll only have
04:33pizza on the brain.
04:34You did alright this time, maybe I'm not wrong to keep you on, eh?
04:39Keep up the good work and you will have a bright future here.
04:43If you're happy, I'm happy.
04:44Every decision.
04:46Batman, the Telltale series.
04:48I told her to wait, but this is personal.
04:51Montoya tried to take me down.
04:53She can handle this herself.
04:55Thought I could count on you, but maybe I was mistaken.
04:58We all know that the Dark Knight's life is consumed by a miasma of doom and despair,
05:04but did Telltale really have to lay it on this thick?
05:07Don't get us wrong, getting to play as the back during the detective and combat segments
05:11are awesome.
05:12It's when the signature Telltale decisions come into play that things get dicey.
05:16Across all five episodes, players are bombarded with decisions that, more often than not,
05:22all end terribly for Bruce.
05:36Who to save, who to trust, which method to pursue, all with very little leverage between.
05:41Honestly, the majority of this game feels like it's the Bruce Wayne suffering simulator.
05:46No.
05:48Last warning, Harvey.
05:50You walk out that door right now and I don't have to hurt you.
05:53Now going back now.
05:56Shooting Quill's Mother, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.
06:00Peter, I am so proud of you.
06:03Your father would be so proud.
06:04Between the soundtrack, the combat and the banter, this game is a rollercoaster of rock'n'roll
06:10that refuses to stop.
06:11A blast from start to finish, all filled with endless amounts of goodwill between the cast
06:16of the Guardians.
06:17That is, until this little story beat, which hit way harder than it should have.
06:22In order to free Nikki from Magus' illusions, Quill is forced to shatter his own fantasy.
06:27One where his mother is alive.
06:29How?
06:29By shooting her in the face.
06:40I don't understand.
06:42It's pretty hardcore, especially for such a light-hearted space adventure like this.
06:47Now fear.
06:48While it's distracted, we can reach Nikki.
06:52She needs her help!
06:54Hurry!
06:58Hunted by Spider-Man.
07:00Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
07:02Run!
07:12We're not going to pretend that we enjoyed the Mary Jane sections of this game, even if
07:17she has evolved from simply hiding from enemy NPCs to blasting them with stun guns.
07:22That being said, this little segment did a fantastic job of highlighting just how scary
07:27it is to be chased down by a symbiote with murder on the brain.
07:39Consumed by the alien's influence, the unconscious Peter falls into a berserker rage, eager to terminate
07:45his relationship with MJ for good, and all we can do is run.
07:57Drill Fight, Arkham Knight.
08:08Operating the Batmobile is testing at the best of times, given how often the game makes you
08:13use it.
08:13But beyond the tank sections and riddler races, there is one part of the game where the usage
08:18of the Batmobile goes from a neat gimmick to aggravatingly unnecessary.
08:23And that would be the battle against the giant excavator.
08:37Winding through the tunnels, trying to avoid the Arkham Knight as well as a general lack
08:41of direction ensures that you won't so much be acting as the world's greatest detective,
08:45as you will be a wacky racer.
08:56Breaking and entering.
08:58Spider-Man.
08:59Go to alert!
09:00Shall we dance?
09:02Sorry pal, but I can't let anyone spot me just yet.
09:06Spidey is tailor-made for stealth, what with being able to stick to walls.
09:10That's not to say it's always pulled off seamlessly.
09:13And the most egregious example can be found in this adaptation of the first rabies spidey
09:17flake.
09:18Having to infiltrate Oscorp, which just so happens to be filled with guards and robots aplenty,
09:23getting caught here is essentially instant death.
09:26Meaning, you have to slowly crawl across the ceiling, sticking to the shadows whenever
09:30possible.
09:31Combined with how long the level is, the whole thing becomes a grind.
09:35Made all the worse when you're randomly spotted, come down, and have to start the whole thing
09:39again.
09:40Welp, time to bust out the cheat codes.
09:46That's it.
09:47I'm never saying yes to another 24 hours.
09:50Killer Croc.
09:52Arkham Asylum.
10:04The encounters with Scarecrow have rightly been given their flowers for how eerie and
10:08disorientating they can be.
10:10But when it comes to making us panic, few things in the madhouse had us throwing our controllers,
10:15quite like seeing Killer Croc charging towards us.
10:29Nowadays it may not be much to holler about in terms of actual horror, but for a superhero
10:34game back in the day, this was outright terrifying.
10:38Having to quietly traverse through the sewers, throwing a bombardment of batarangs to knock
10:42croc back under the water, this was low-key horrifying.
10:56Which stress inducing moments made you want to hang up your cape?
11:00Let us know in the comments.
