This Month In Retronauts: January 2023 edition
Added 2023-01-29 12:00:02 +0000 UTCGreetings, patrons! Behold, a brand-new podcast devoted to YOU, our faithful supporters, as Diamond Feit and Stuart Gipp present the first-ever Retronauts community podcast, This Month in Retronauts.
Our goal is to replace Diamond's weekly column once a month with a program focused on your comments, your questions, and catching up on all recent retro happenings: things published on the site, episodes of the podcast, and any new releases that might be of interest to fans of old video games. And in true Retronauts fashion, in between our recording session and publication of this episode, a game we discussed revealed a sequel is on the way. What timing!
We sincerely hope you enjoy this new show; please let us know your thoughts below. And don't forget to answer the listener question Diamond poses at the end, we'll read our favorite answers next month!

Comments
A game that has been impenetrable for me my whole life is Blackthorne. In all its grimy, '90s grunge comic book aesthetic glory. I've never been very good at cinematic platformers, but I always had a deep respect for them. And Blackthorne is no exception. But it's the only game in the genre I picked back up as an adult, and even today, I find it a chore to make it through. I want to love the game, and I want to finish it. But it's just such a slow, punishing game that I find myself getting sick of it quickly. I actually made it further as a kid than I have as an adult.
