#292 - The Natural Special

On this Edenic episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom strip down to their bare cheeks to chat about games wot are all about “Outside, like birds and that”. First up is Nature; a game that takes 2014’s Evolution and 2020’s Oceans, and hydraulically compacts them into one biodegradable box. Not just one box, mind, but a whole ecosystem of modules and traits that’ll get your neighbourhood zoologist all hot under the collar. That’s then followed by a slice of Perch - a surprisingly lethal “pigeon control game” in which you stack birds atop a vicious fountain. I’d imagine it’s what those pesky sky rats would be doing with their spare time too, if they weren’t so busy defecating Finally we hitch a ride on the great grey car of the savanna in Tembo - an elephant road trip that’s way more cruel than it has any right to be. Tom’s taken great pains to crack this one open, and feast on all the delicious game-goo contained therein. Have a great week, everybody!
