Coming in at 4th place is Iconoclasts from Joakim Sandberg (@konjak - twitter)
This was one of the first games of the year that I was really excited about and one of the first games of the year that I played. I liked it so much that I even made a First Cut episode for it back then which you can check out here: https://youtu.be/gFJjU76i8Ks
This title is an enthralling adventure of one mechanics descent into throws of corruption, religious cults and conflicted pasts of the characters around her. While not perfect, I found myself enjoying the ups and downs of the game's story
The gameplay is perhaps one of them most enrapturing as it flows in a way that few games of this style manage to pull off successfully. It becomes incredibly easy to find yourself in a state of zen as you jump, shoot, and swing from obstacle to obstacle.
It's a fantastic adventure that I'd recommend to anyone that is a fan of 2D action platformers with Metroidvania elements.

This is my last entry in the Google Stadia Primer series, hopefully this gave you a general idea of what the platform is and the challenges it faces. There will be more Stadia content on the way but it will mostly be regular news and reviews from games that are on the platform. Stay tuned to this channel for more details on that as it arrives. Also be sure to like and sub if you enjoyed this video and want to see more. Then there's the bell icon and ringing it... whatever you know what to do. But it does truly help this channel when it do it so keep that in mind. Thanks for all of your support!

This is the Premiere Episode of "First Cut"; a series in which I give my own honest impressions of games that I'm playing for the first time. This is mostly directed towards new releases, but there may be some slightly older, that I cover from time to time. This one starts off with Yakuza Zero.

A lot of waiting and hype surrounding this. So I figured why not give the closed beta a shot and see what it's all about. Might record some short for content for Lost Ark in the future as well.
Disclaimer: This is all Closed Beta footage and much of it is subject to change by the official release.
