Review: Pode – A starcrossed adventure
David and Dustin of Blast Away the Game Review Write: "In an era where competitive games are all the rage and everyone in town is talking about them, there’s a lot of games that get brushed under the rug and left out in the heat as summer continues on. The ever-growing library of Nintendo Switch games in recent days is proof of this phenomenon of online gaming. It boasts one of the strongest libraries for players taking to online titles ranging from the frantic three minutes of inking as much turf as possible with Nintendo’s title Splatoon 2 or the blue shell throwing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and players even taking to the arena with their Pokémon focused fighting game Pokkén Tournament DX.
While online multiplayer is a tried-and-true formula, there are still games that do quite well with the current gaming climate and somehow deliver some of the most unique titles on the market. One such title is Pode, a cute little cooperative puzzle title brought to life by a small Norwegian team called Henchman & Goon. It’s a game that manages to bring that good old-fashioned same-couch co-op back to life and compels you to work with a friend, family member, or loved one to complete each challenge that is placed before you."
