A stream wherein I played through a whole bunch of The Messenger up to the point wherein it opens up, then parsed through a playthrough I found on YouTube (credit there to Indie James) in order to cover the rest of the game. Why did I do this? Well, see, I've been playing Sea of Stars which is set in the same world as The Messenger eons earlier and I wanted to refresh myself on as much of The Messenger as possible so at to appreciate the nods Sea of Stars is making or might make.

I'll say, big success on that front! Found some interesting things, most especially an area that you see post game opening up that I am very glad I didn't skip right by when looking through a vod for more details. Little nods, areas, enemies, those connections are great but that bit - ooh, so relevant.

Also, hey, the Messenger is pretty fun on its own. It's hard and a little old timey for my tastes, but the cloudstep mechanic is just so brilliant it almost carries the game on its own. It's solidly designed, has two great twists, and is very good to look at. Happy to have revisited it on it own!

Also also while did focus mostly on the game and connections to Sea of Stars, I did also find time to talk a bit about the Nintendo Direct, the Sony State of Play, and Unity’s bullshit along the way. Excited for TTYD HD, the original is in my top five games of all time.
