This week, we discuss three of the (many) big RPGs out this season: how Metaphor ReFantazio attempts to balance the familiar with the new, how Dragon Age: Veilguard is basically Diet Bioware, and how Ys X: Nordics fails to live up to the series’ legacy of bumpin’.

For Halloween this year, we took a different, goofier, more laser cube-filled route than previous commentary episodes. That’s right, we’re watching Paul. W.S. Anderson’s magnum opus – the 2002 schlock classic Resident Evil. Join us as we wait a while for the zombies to show up, and listen as we discuss the importance of 2am cheese-eating rituals.

This week, we’re talking about how The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom takes the series into immersive sim territory to fantastic results, and how the seven hour Metaphor ReFantazio demo fits familiar Persona game mechanics onto a new foundation.

This week, we dive into smaller projects from the biggest publishers: Astro Bot, Sony’s joyful platforming celebration of its storied history, and Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, Nintendo’s attempt to restart an old adventure franchise after a 30-year absence.

News broke not that long ago that famed Hong Kong action director Corey Yuen (Yes, Madam!, The Transporter) had actually passed away a few years ago, so we decided to pay our respects by watching his final North American directorial effort, DOA colon Dead or Alive – and it rules?? Join us as Corey Yuen gives us the glorious trash masterpiece we could have hoped for, complete with babes, brawls, and Eric Roberts’ flowing locks.

This week, we talk about how Uforia: The Saga 2’s grating soundtrack ruins an otherwise pleasant game, how Darkest Dungeon 2’s approach to its characters makes suffering with them that much more fun, and how Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure cleverly breaks up its brain-busting puzzles into bite-sized chunks.

This week, we talk about why we’re drawn back to old games, the empty calories of Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, and the fun but hollow world of Rolling Hills: Make Sushi, Make Friends.

We’re having a grand old time under the sea this episode, as David talks about how Another Crab’s Treasure is one of the most pleasant soulslike games he’s played and Susan discusses the horrors found in the depths of Still Wakes the Deep. We also open the show trying to answer the burning question of the summer: Are video games doing ok right now?

This week, we’re diving into Stellar Blade (aka the Snyder Cut of video games), revisiting Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door after kind of not liking it back when it came out, and the archaic pleasures of old adventure games with Famicom Detective Club.
