PunchCast 12 | No Man’s Sky, 2016 Games We’re Excited For

August 29th, 2016 Liam Harvey Podcast

No Man’s Sky—it’s finally out and we all have a take on it. John Bennett and reviewer Kevin Atteridg love No Man Sky‘s relaxing gameplay loop, while Liam Harvey has a few bugbears (as well as the worst luck with its procedural universe).

With only a few months left of 2016, the PunchCast crew also discuss what they’re most excited to play. John tries to sell everybody on Forza: Horizon, Evan hopes and prays for The Last Guardian, while Liam prefers to not get hyped about anything these days. There’s concern about DICE’s handling of the Worst War Ever, some Pokemon Sun & Moon chatter (including the recently released fan game, Uranium) and some early discussion of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Liam Harvey

Human being, husband, father, British. Optimism and naivety are like two blind children skipping through the unfenced minefield of his mind. He likes sitting, biscuits and laughing—but never at the same time (that would be the height of hedonistic excess)—while the best life advice he's ever received was from a box of matches, "Keep away from children. Keep in a dry place. Strike away from the body."
