    What are some modern 2D games I need to try that I may be missing out on?
  • I forgot to say the quality of your show has been superb for 10 years!!
  • @DantesTyphoon
    No matter how much high quality entertainment some other channel offers I never get as excited about a new release as I do with Game Sack
  • It's a tribute to the sheer staying-power of this channel that the subject matter is so specific. Next episode: "Mascots who wear blue hats... Part 2".
  • Saw that thumbnail for Ori and had to click on the video. My favourite modern 2D metroidvania... Possibly my fav 2D metroidvania ever! Plenty more to check from this list.

    Interesting how you couldn’t get into Streets of Rage 4 - It may be my favorite game in the series. I find the animation beautiful and the new combo system highly addictive. Love it. Great video BTW
  • @newgameaaaa
    The Huntdown looks like Judge Dredd on the SNES. I love how everytime you mention Yuzo Koshiro at 36:36, you show his face.
  • @Jeffmetal42
    The combo system in Streets of Rage 4 was awesome. I loved doing full stage combos, was tricky but fun. Huntdown is a really fun one too, I spent a long time trying to 100% it.
  • In SOR4 you can assign picking items up to a different button than the attack button. Also the survival mode you can choose power ups after each stage that stack. Also yes Hunt Down is amazing.
  • @jameswalt1
    Huntdown is so good. Glad you covered it - it’s unbelievably underrated. Easily one of the best modern 2d action platformers. And it’s so solid from start to finish.
  • @mxggo9046
    A Dave cameo would have neen perfect for this one.
  • @nightzelmods
    For 4 player 2D multiplayer, “Duck Game” has been a household staple at every get together in my circle of friends; no matter who’s house we go to. So much fun, easy controls, and fast rounds.
  • My favorite part was when Joe said his signature catch phase “It’s sackin’ time” and threw down his huge sack of games and gaming accessories and started talking about them in great detail, and compared them to other games that also can be kept in a sack.
  • @tartellu5010
    yeah game sack dude, I just bought green dog for 5 dollars the other day, what a steal
  • Joe knocking it out of the park once again with awesome content. Happy Christmas to you Sir in advance of it's arrival. Thanks for all your efforts this year man.
  • I stumbled across Huntdown for android when trying to find something like Dead Cells, and I agree it's brilliant. All those countless little touches really make it stand out. Bloody tricky though mate!! Love your content by the way brother. Been watching you for years now, and you're easily one of the best channels on YouTube.
  • Wow, we are about to have enough game sack episodes to watch one every day for a year.
  • There's been some testing from various people that make me think Switch ports can generally have more lag than their counterparts. For those sensitive to it maybe go with PC or other consoles at least.
