Ace of Shame

It's not graphically intensive, but the world and the way that they incorporate weather and music and just the wind blowing through the grass and stuff like that, I've always said is absolutely a masterclass in how you make a game beautiful without needing cutting-edge graphics. This hand-drawn art style, I absolutely love.

I have said this, and please, I know there's people out there that are going to gasp, but I'm not a fan of 8-bit graphics. I don't like pixels. Pixel graphics. Celeste, one of the best platformers ever made. I did not play for years and years and years because every time I went to buy it, I would look at the graphics and I would just go like, I can't do it. I can't do it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You know, and then I finally did it. And then it's one of the best platformers ever. And it's like, you kind of get past it, but there's something in my brain that just goes pixel graphics. Yeah. hand-painted, hand-drawn graphics. Like, all right. So I have seen, I watched a few reviews and some gameplay stuff.

You actually clipped some gameplay of a boss fight that looks pretty crazy that we'll get into here in a little bit as well. But I do have to say, as somebody that knows nothing about this game, the art style in it is genuinely beautiful. All right, Ace. Now, you said you have a hot take for us. Mm-hmm. And I've been wondering what the heck this hot take is.

Okay. I could tell because you were like, even when you said, like, I have a hot take, it's like you could see it, like, bubbling up. And it's like, so this is your chance, buddy. You know, we won't say that we won't mock you for it. But what is this hot take?

Easily. Okay. Wait. Okay. Now, let's walk that back just a second. That's some big words there, brother. I told you it was a hot take, brother. Okay. Okay. I love Hollow Knight. It's one of the few Metroidvanias that I will actually say, like, I love this game. Now, you know, you say the music's really good. Check. Okay.

So it's like point for Ender Magnolias, even though Hollow Knight's music is fantastic. I'm having a hard time here, Ace, but I'll let you.
