Mike and I decided to record a little reaction video for the new Fallout season 2 trailer, like a quick 5-10 minute thing.

Second review of the week!
Come see my thoughts on a unique Metroidvania that was one of my favorite demos from PAX East, Gigasword.
Looking for a new pixel-art Metroidvania with Souls-like elements? Gigasword provides that experience in a way that has a down point or two, but, overall, it delivers a rather solid time. Read @adamgumby.bsky.social's review below.

Hades II is finally out for a full release, and our new friend @adamgumby.bsky.social is here to tell us all about it! The discussion is 2 halves: the 1st is spoiler-free, and the 2nd is the opposite (spoiler-expensive?), but there's a big warning, so you can avoid anything you want to avoid.

We loved chatting with Adam, and he sold us on Hades 2 more than just about anything else! There's a very clear SPOILER ALERT break in this one, if you haven't finished the game, so you can safely watch (most of) this!
Wanna thank @storymoders.com for letting me blab on about why I love Hades 2 so much.
No spoilers to start, then I go all in, check it out!

Look, I don't mind episodic at all if it follows the TV format.
A drop a week can hold my interest better than the 2 the months Bloom & Rage did.
Dispatch coming out in episodes appears to have been a very good strategy for developer Adhoc Studio. Astounding numbers here. Episodic games often risk losing audience attention over time but 8 episodes across 4 weeks seems like the perfect cadence to keep players hooked and talking
