The COOLEST Game I've Ever Played!

Video summary

Press to jump

1:09While shaders compile, Bigpuffer commits to trying the hardest difficulty.
5:17He selects Hellwalker and starts the campaign.
9:17He switches from Chinese voices to English before continuing the combat tutorial.
13:11Zuo Shang's boss encounter begins, with rapid sword attacks and aerial moves.
18:25The story reaches the present day and a carriage journey with Old Man Gen.

Bigpuffer doesn't leave his difficulty choice open for long. Before Phantom Blade Zero has finished compiling its shaders, he's promising to try its hardest setting. At the selection screen, he commits: "We're doing Hellwalker. Let's lock in."

That opening became PufferPlays' most-watched new upload of the week. "The COOLEST Game I've Ever Played!" reached roughly 125,000 views, taking viewers from a flashback tutorial into a rapid sword-fighting encounter with Zuo Shang. He initially chooses Chinese dialogue with English subtitles, then switches the voices to English before working through attacks, guards, dodges and parries.

His early confidence gets a useful reality check. "This is Hellwalker? Come on, son!" gives way a few minutes later to "Oh my god, that was so tough!" In the comments, viewers ask for a complete playthrough, imagine a wooden-sword-only challenge and connect the game's cultivation themes with their reading interests.

Pokémon filled the other two slots: "SURVIVING THE HALLOWEEN POKEMON EVENT!" and "THE REAL POKEMON MEGABONK GAME!" The latter had the stronger opening day and is drawing most of the channel's daily viewing now. An earlier upload, "THEY MADE A POKEMON MEGA BONK GAME!", also remains among its busiest videos.

Across the library, daily views are running at nearly twice the usual level, though subscribers stayed unchanged over the week. Nearby variety channel ZaneGames also has viewing above its usual daily level, while Frogarchist is close to its normal rhythm. For PufferPlays, the week's distinctive pairing is Pokémon experimentation alongside Bigpuffer voluntarily choosing the difficult sword fight.
