The End Is Nigh and Yonder: the Cloud Catcher Chronicles are the main topics in season 11 episode 30 of the gaming review show Zero Punctuation. This week, the host Yahtzee Croshaw takes a look at two very different games, each with its own unique appeal.
First up is The End Is Nigh, a platforming game developed by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel. Yahtzee describes the game as having an "absolutely soul-crushing" difficulty level, with players constantly dying and respawning at the nearest checkpoint. He praises the level design and the variety of obstacles, but warns that the game is not for the faint of heart.
Next, Yahtzee turns his attention to Yonder: the Cloud Catcher Chronicles, a more laid-back adventure game developed by Prideful Sloth. He compares it to a "relaxing holiday to the countryside," with stunning visuals and a peaceful soundtrack. However, he criticizes the lack of challenge and the shallow gameplay, suggesting that it may not hold the attention of more experienced gamers.
Overall, Yahtzee's review is balanced and thoughtful, offering both praise and criticism for each game. He acknowledges that both titles will appeal to different audiences, and encourages viewers to try them out for themselves to see which one they prefer. As always, his signature wit and humor make for an entertaining and informative review that is sure to please fans of the show.
