Ashly Burch, voice of Horizon's Aloy and star of Mythic Quest, is currently obsessed with Slay the Spire 2 and thinks videogames have too many stoic characters: 'I want more sh*tty little b*tches'
The actress behind Tiny Tina and Life is Strange's Chloe guides us through the games on her Steam Deck.
Ashly Burch, renowned for voicing Aloy in the Horizon series and starring in the comedy show Mythic Quest, has recently become enamored with the game Slay the Spire 2. She expressed her desire for more "sh*tty little b*tches" in video games, contrasting them with the stoic characters often found in the medium.
Burch's journey into gaming began with a Donkey Kong knockoff on her mother's typewriter-practicing PC. However, the game that truly captivated her was LucasArts' Day of the Tentacle, which offered both narrative and comedic elements. This experience expanded her understanding of what a video game could be.
Before her acting career, Burch gained recognition through the gaming-themed sketch show Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'. Her film debut was as Tiny Tina in Borderlands 2, followed by roles in Life is Strange, The Outer Worlds, and Horizon. Currently, she is involved in the YouTube comedy series I'm Happy You're Here, which addresses mental health issues.
During her interview, Burch shared her love for detective games, mentioning Return of the Obra Dinn as her first love in the genre. She praised Fields of Mistria for its distinct character designs and well-developed personalities, contrasting it with cozy games that often feature similar characters. Burch also expressed her appreciation for the complexity detective games offer, requiring players to piece together clues and make logical connections.
