More specifically, Xbox fans who were once anticipating Henchman & Goon’s cooperative puzzle adventure game, Pode, can now finally play it, a whole generation later. Despite being a late release, the game is at its full $24.99 price, which is what it costs on other consoles. On PC, it has always been $5 cheaper.
Fan-Favorite Co-op Game
Pode, for those who do not know, debuted in 2018 to a 76 on Metacritic, which is a solid score for an independent game and the sophomore release from the studio, who previously put out Flem in 2015. Interestingly enough, Pode remains the studio’s latest game, despite being eight years old. Some have assumed the studio quietly closed, but this port confirms it is active in some capacity.
While a 76 on Metacritic is not the most exciting score ever, its user reviews are more exciting. For example, on Steam, it has a 90% approval rating. Meanwhile, on the PlayStation Store, it has a 4.47 out of 5 rating, a similar score to what it has earned on Steam. The fact that both of these scores are higher than its Metacritic score, yet similar to each other, suggests critics may have underrated the co-op game.
