In Defense of Dark Souls Second Half HPRshredder 2023-04-21 | Just sharing some thoughts on the so-called "second half" of Dark Souls. Footage for this video was shot on-location in Lordran.I have a lot of thoughts about this game, and even more about this topic as well. I wanted to keep things brief though. Part of the reason I love Dark Souls 1 so much is because you can't warp between bonfires from the beginning. It just places you in the world and makes you feel like a part of it. Once you can warp; the game folds back in on itself less and starts to sprawl more. It is what it is. I just really love the game.For fans of my regular type of content I hope you still enjoy this one! More Retro Odyssey content and more is just around the corner.Thanks for watching.#darksouls

Hinotori Hououhen: Gaou no Bouken – A Deep Dive | Review & Retrospective for Famicom 1987 HPRshredder 2022-06-04 | Retro Odyssey ep.018An IN-DEPTH review, analysis, and retrospective of Hi no Tori Hououhen: Gaou no Bouken for the Nintendo Famicom – with additional looks at the 1986 OVA for Phoenix as well as a look at Osamu Tezuka's 1969 Manga; the fifth volume of the Phoenix series known as the "Karma" chapter.This is an exhaustive look at a game that most people haven't even heard of. It's a game that in a lot of ways could be viewed as a "NES Minecraft" with the way it lets you build and destroy blocks at will.This is also a look at the Manga and Anime behind the licensing for this adventure as well as a look into differences in eastern and western though when it comes to concepts of karma and reincarnation.I really hope you all enjoy this one.

In this video I'll cover everything in the game, the structure of the game, my personal experience, and how I feel it stacks up to its contemporaries from the context of a first-time player who didn't grow up with an NES.This one was tough, because the game itself is much too expensive for what you get, and it was so mediocre that honestly I struggled to put the required amount of effort into the editing.

I beat DARK SOULS on Switch in one sitting... HPRshredder 2021-07-10 | I sat down to do a long/let's play of Dark Souls and ended up beating it in one sitting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Dark Souls is one of my favorite games to come back to. It's kind of a forever game for me. I wanted to see how far I could get in one sitting and ended up beating the whole game! I'm not a speedrunner or anything like that - but I'm proud of how it turned out. It was fun to play and I hope you get some enjoyment out of it.Please let me know in the comments if you enjoyed the video!More Retro Odyssey content is also on the way. The next game up for review is the original Legend of Zelda for NES & Famicom.
