[Andy]

I think there's a really good chance.

[Greg Miller]

Hunter Pence joins us to teach the boys dark and darker. I impressed Andy earlier today with my baseball knowledge, but that's a story for another time. If you're a kind of funny member, today's Greg Way is me having a panic attack live. Thank you to our Patreon producers Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney the Psalm Twining. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be topic of the show. It is December 4th. We like the beginning of Every month to go through every video game coming out for the month we're going into. We usually try to do it on that first or before the month ends, but there's been so many reviews, we're here on the 4th to get into it and stuff like that. Because you might think it's a quiet month. It's not a quiet month. There's a lot of things happening if you didn't know, Andy.

[Andy]

I mean, I'll be honest with you. When I was making this thumbnail last night, I was like, pretty quiet month. Not a whole lot going on.

[Greg Miller]

What are you talking about? Some of this stuff's already out, but I want to cover it for the full picture of the one, the only December. So we'll start, of course, with Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Worth pointing out our list comes from the one, the only, Game Informer. Game Informer.com2025. When you want to keep up with everything. Of course. Cosmic Invasion is out on everything. It came out December 1st. A cosmic battle. Awaken. Choose between 15 Marvel superheroes in this frentic. Nope.

[Mike]

Frenetic.

[Greg Miller]

Frenetic. Thank you. Action. Beat him up. To fight against the deadly. No, I know the word. I just fucked it up. Definition check on this annihilation wave threatening the galaxy from New York City to the depths of the Negative Zone. The future of the Marvel Universe will be fought for, fought for across the stars.

[Mike]

Andy, you're missing out. This is so good. This is Red Bull.

[Andy]

We have Tempt the boy.

[Greg Miller]

Don't tempt the Boy.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Start changing your timing. I'm uptight about this.

[Andy]

I'll kill you.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

He said.

[Andy]

Unbelievable.

[Greg Miller]

Listen, we all had our violence training. We know that was a joke. We don't got to report that to anybody. You know, I got to report that to anybody.

[Mike]

It took two weeks.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I'll be getting an email.

[Mike]

That's exactly what they said.

[Greg Miller]

Not to say the Marvel Cosmic Invasion review has already gone up, of course, on Gamescast. I gave it a 7. Tim gave it a 7.5. Where are we as a panel? With excitement, desire to play. This mike kick me off.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah, I'm actually excited for this. This will be a one and done for me.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I'm gonna play through this campaign. Maybe with Kevin ASX and the boys, or maybe.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, it's a reward for putting in the soundboard.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah. Thank you for the soundboard.

[Andy]

He did subscribe, by the way, a little while ago. Kevin ASX for 105 months. Thank you for your support. And then left a message that that was A one man job. He could have done it, do it together.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

But I'm super excited for this game, Greg. We already got to stream a little part of it earlier this week altogether, so that was a lot of fun. But for my own stuff, I'm gonna play through this. I, I like a good Streets of Rage. I like Ninja Turtles and so yeah, for me, with all of the characters from the Marvel universe, what we played already, it's beautiful, it's fun. I'm excited for it. It will be a. Let's smash this campaign. I'm good.

[Andy]

Who's gonna be your main.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Who's my main Iceman with them cheeks and then a follow up, Silver Surfer.

[Greg Miller]

Iceman is not even in the game.

[Andy]

Yeah, they're both icy. Yeah, it's cold in space, you know.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

And then Jean Gray. That'll be great.

[Greg Miller]

Is quite awesome. And one of my favorites in there. Bless Andy. Anything for you.

[Andy]

I just don't really think I have a whole lot of time.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And I, I enjoyed what I played. I feel like I would enjoy it a lot more without the four player chaos. I think it was like a little too much. I think maybe two players is possibly the sweet spot. But I, I mean it's just. There's just so much going on.

[Greg Miller]

There is a lot going on.

[Andy]

These are really just Elden Ring.

[Mike]

These aren't single player games for me, you know, I mean these are games that I had to have somebody with me playing locally.

[Greg Miller]

So does that speak to you when you think of like going up and spending time with like your nephews?

[Mike]

See, yes, but I don't have that planned. Yeah, I just got back from Thanksgiving, hanging out with them. They only give me once a year.

[Greg Miller]

They pay me enough to come up there.

[Andy]

They got me once.

[Mike]

And so yeah, if it was a Christmas thing for sure, this would be a really fun one to bust out actually.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike]

I don't have as much fun playing Beat Em Ups by myself, sadly.

[Greg Miller]

Understandably. As I said seven, I had a great. I had a good time with it. Me and Ben really enjoyed playing it. But yeah, I was a one and done. Mike. Finish the, finish the story and I'm like, cool, there's not enough here. I'm hopeful for DLC characters, DLC stages, something like that. And I could also see it being in the same way when Ben has his friends in the neighborhood over. They've been jumping into Ultimate Alliance. I could see this being way more approachable for them to jump in. Oh yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That is a special moment.

[Andy]

Oh, wow.

[Greg Miller]

None of the other kids, the other kids next door, they know how to play video games. You know, they know what they're doing. They can play Mario Kart. They can't play Ultimate Alliance.

[Andy]

Oh, I was wondering if they were one of those, like, our child doesn't watch television. Our child doesn't eat McDonald's.

[Greg Miller]

I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of those kids and I will chill out. Change them all.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

We'll change that.

[Greg Miller]

December 2 also saw the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows on Switch 2. Did anyone hear any? Have there been reviews of this? Does it run well on Switch 2?

[Andy]

I was hearing very positive things from the most recent Digital Foundry podcast, talking about, like, visual quality and just how good Ubisoft has been on the tech side of things. So it seems like, like, wow, they were able to actually pull off this kind of visual titan to, you know, run really, really well and look good on Switch 2. I think it's like, I'm not saying like 60 frames, but it's similar to the Cyberpunk situation.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, JG down there says 30 frames, but it looks solid.

[Andy]

Yeah, Cyberpunk as well. Six or 30 frames for Cyberpunk, I think on certain modes maybe, but has a really good image quality.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Okay, I know we're gonna talk about it on another podcast, but, like, when we look back on the year, should I jump into Assassin's Creed shadows if I have a little bit of time? It's one that like, it came, I did the opening and then I. I never went back to it. It's like, I love Assassin's Creed, but, like, should I. Should I give this one some time?

[Andy]

I think that's your Yote. Like, I do think.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, you haven't played Yote. Play Yote, dude. Come on.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm gonna be like a little bit of time kind of game also.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah, I mean, I know both are gonna be big, but like, yeah, it's like, so jump in the shadows.

[Mike]

So I love this chat from Swaggerillo who says our child doesn't consume calories before 1pm

[Greg Miller]

he hung you out. I don't know if you saw this because it hasn't made any headlines, but on December 2nd, a game called Horses came out.

[Andy]

Ah.

[Greg Miller]

Welcome to the farm where the sun is hot, the grass is green, and the horses are waiting for you. But as the sun sets, the shadows creep across the land, the tranquility fades, and this farm's facade begins to crumble in this enigmatic first person adventure you'll take on the role of a summer worker taking a break from his college studies. You will be responsible for taking care of the farm and its animals for a fortnight. Each day you explore the farm, you encounter many surprises peeling back the layers of this farm's unsettling mysteries. Guided by the cryptic rules of a mysterious farmer, you'll decide whether to tread the safe path or allow curiosity to lead you into the farm's hidden depths. Choose wisely, for some truths are far more terrifying than the lies we cling to. Of course, I say no one's heard of this. This is the game that is banned currently from Epic Games Store and from Steam. It was banned for a second from Humble Bundle, but then reinstated on Humble. I have finished it. Round of applause.

[Andy]

Wow.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

When somebody says, when did you play it? Yesterday. I played at my desk yesterday.

[Andy]

Oh, nice.

[Greg Miller]

Only Nick walked by and he said, what the fuck are you playing?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Hell yeah.

[Mike]

This game has everything in it. Sex, nudity, murder, more sex, mystery, a lot more nudity, consensual sex.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, it's, I think, over. Well, well, well, overblown on what's going on here. If you haven't followed it, it would seem, and I'm gonna. Not spoilers for the game. Well, I mean, if you're watching the trailer at this point, you probably know a little bit about it. If you don't, the. The hook here is that, yeah, you go, it's a horror game. You start working on this guy's farm for two weeks and his horses are people who have horse masks on their head that are chained around their neck and they're naked from the neck down, then, I guess totally naked, but, you know, they have a horse mask on. And so, yeah, you go through and kind of uncover what the fuck is going on here and what's going to happen with it. The banning seems to be. It seems to be the money on the ban comes from an earlier build that was submitted to Steam where there's a section of the game that I've played but is not. They've changed it since the ban, where a grown woman and her father show up and they want to buy a horse and so you have to give them a pony ride, basically. And so the grown woman gets on the horse and you walk around, she talks to you and she basically kind of threatens you or whatever. But it's like the whole thing's supposed to be on something weird, I guess. In the initial draft submitted, it was a child that came and with her father and then got. There was nothing sexual about the scene, except that obviously the horse person was naked. But so that seems to be what triggered scene back in the day to which when we got here they just denied it. Which then had a chilling effect where Epic Games were like, well, we're going to deny it too. And it's been kind of chaos. Has it? But as somebody who's. It's a two hour long experience. Five bucks. I bought it on Humble Bundle or on the Humble Game Store as you are watching right now. It's goofy. Like, it's like look at, look at the way they move and look and they're animated and stuff. It isn't. You wouldn't know it by just going through this. Right.

[Andy]

It looks like an Adult Swim. Like a little bumper ads in between shows.

[Greg Miller]

Exactly. It's black and white. It's four by three. It's also. This is gonna sound weird, but it's silent for the most part. There is a music track, there are a few sound effects, but when someone talks to you, it's their goofy face in the frame. And then you go to like Italian words on the screen with a caption underneath. So it's kind of like a black and white Italian film. Horror film or whatever. It's got a vibe to. It's got a thing to it. I want to give a full review on Greg Way tomorrow probably. But like it's not. There's way worse stuff I've seen on Steam when I was making fun of Steam players before I became one. You know, of course where I'd go and I look for the erotic things and here's the Hitler here, let's fuck Hitler game. Yeah, I mean, whatever. But it's out there right now. It'll be interesting to see as it continues to evolve. Obviously this has gotten a lot of attention in the media and you've seen the developer come out and say like, hey, if we. We can't get back on these stores, we're probably going to fold as a studio. So is anybody else going to play horses?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I know, I'm the horror game guy about it.

[Mike]

Like hearing you talk about it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Makes it sound cool. And like, yeah, it was interesting trying to read into okay, what the is going on about this game. Because it feels like there's been a lot of loud noise and not a lot of people just being like, this is what it is. It looks weird. I like it. I like how weird. And this looks.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Giving me mouthwashing vibes from last year. Like that weird kind of out of the blue game that Comes and makes a splash. Yeah. And I gave that one a try. So maybe I watched Alana's video yesterday. It's like, okay, I'm intrigued. And then you saying two hours. I'm like, okay, I might be able to fit that in.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Andy, you like horses?

[Andy]

I mean there's nothing better than like having a starter. Mike, who's going to go out there and get you seven to eight, good innings, pitch, you know, like we love having a horse out there. Going to go, you know, you know, pitch for our squad. Hunter Pence is coming by later. Greg, did you play mouthwash or baseball?

[Greg Miller]

I never did. I got it.

[Andy]

I own it.

[Greg Miller]

I never actually did it like mouthwash. I bet I would. No, everything, it was just how heck that was?

[Andy]

Was that last year?

[Mike]

Was.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That was end of last year.

[Greg Miller]

Right.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Right at the buck type 5.

[Mike]

Because every second I was like, do I need to put it in my game of the year? Like thoughts Because I played that game. I love that game.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

But I guess want to keep it in your back pocket because it was very end of the year.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

Let's talk about Kingdom of Night. This came out December 2nd as well. Hunt down nightmarish demons and save the town of Miami, Arizona in this 80s themed isometric action RPG with an expansive interconnected map and open ended quests. Expl really While unraveling the main story. Kingdom of Night is a unique blend of coming of age drama, cosmic horror and true love. I had not heard about this until I just read it and that sounds very up my alley. That sounds cool.

[Andy]

This sounds totally your shit.

[Greg Miller]

This sounds very much my shit. And as we watch it right now.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Oh,

[Andy]

very adventure game looking.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder how it feels and plays. But yeah. Oh, okay.

[Andy]

We're seeing combat, we're seeing some points.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, and then you party. Oh, there's a Terror Dog from Ghostbusters. That's copyrighted phrase, but I'll take it.

[Andy]

What it looked like.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what you just sold me? All right.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

More impressive than I thought it would be.

[Mike]

What's the name of again?

[Greg Miller]

Kingdom of Night. Kingdom.

[Mike]

Kingdom of Night. Night spelled like nighttime, not like night. Who rides on a horse. That's the previous game that we talked about.

[Greg Miller]

20 bucks on Steam right now. Friends of safety are the developers and I like that quite a bit. I'm gonna. I'm in on that one. Cool. All right, great. Then a little game no one's heard of. Red Dead Redemption. Of course, Red Dead Redemptions. Been out your entire Life. Many of you listeners. But PlayStation 5, Xbox Series switch to iOS and Android December 2nd as well. Experience the story of former outlaw John Marston as he tracks down the last remaining members of the notorious Van Darlin gang. Who is in charge of that gang, Andy?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That would be Dutch.

[Andy]

You learn that I'm John Marston.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andy]

You're not gonna find me John.

[Greg Miller]

Red Dead Redemption still happening. Good job. All right, cool. Is anybody going back for this? Have we all had our fill of the original Red Dead?

[Mike]

Yeah, I've had my fill.

[Andy]

It's something I'd like to just hop into just for the nostalgia sake of it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy]

You know I loved it when I played it back. Oh yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Oh my God. Red Dead was so much fun. Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Undead Nightmare.

[Andy]

I played it in 2015 and never played it again.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy]

So like I would love to just see what's up.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. Well.

[Andy]

Or whenever it came out when it. No, did it come out in 2015?

[Mike]

2013, Red Dead 1 or Red Dead Redemption?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I was in Los Angeles with Damon Hatfield.

[Andy]

I was in my apartment. It was 2010.

[Greg Miller]

We went to a Best Buy, bought it. Cuz we. That was when IGN didn't. You didn't get games so you got reviewer would get a code. Maybe somebody or not a code, a copy.

[Andy]

I put myself in the wrong era of like living in Austin.

[Greg Miller]

Sure, sure, sure. All right, let's talk about Simogo Legacy Collection. This is Switch 2, Switch and PC December 2nd as well. From cute arcade novelties to innovative text based thrillers and acclaimed fourth wall breaking stories, Legacy Collection is an eclectic celebration of Simogo's past. Featuring faithful renditions of seven games released on mobile platforms between 2010 and 2015.

[Andy]

There's a big world out there.

[Greg Miller]

Can you believe that? Like this is definitely one of those alternate universes I got blinked into. The Samogo Legacy collection.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

To celebrate our past. Like what.

[Greg Miller]

What's your present history? Who the are you?

[Mike]

Those games look kind of nice.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That's somebody's rare good art style.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Those games look kind of cool.

[Andy]

Those are really good art style.

[Mike]

Is it? But it's releasing. I wonder, is this already out on mobile?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, it sounds like it.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

I was gonna say.

[Greg Miller]

But individually now they're bundling them together to put them on Switch and PC.

[Mike]

One of them together. Put them on my phone because I'll play.

[Greg Miller]

Go into your phone right now to the App Store and put in some Mogo and find out how many other games they got. Sneak Bandit Year Walk. Oh. Device six. I remember that being a big deal.

[Andy]

Zotick in the Twitch chat says play year. Walk. My God.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

All right.

[Andy]

Still fuck out. My God.

[Greg Miller]

We'll see if anybody will play Let it die. Inferno PlayStation 5 and PC out on December 3rd. Hellgate tore open the earth deep within its chaotic depths where time and space warp lies. The eye of the Reaper, a treasure granting world ruling power. You are an immortal raider granting world ruling power. This is of course one that you had been interested in.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And then of course it turned out it was all AI garbage and everybody flipped out.

[Mike]

Yeah. I really like the original Let It Die that came out. Oh 20. It was like December of 2017. I want to say somebody check me on that. I feel like I might have nailed it and really dug it as kind of a very specific, obscure, free to play. If you know Suda 5.

[Host - Sponsor Announcer]

One games.

[Greg Miller]

Right.

[Mike]

Kind of has that attitude because it's a grasshopper manufacturer series souls like ish gameplay with a run based sort of thing going on to it.

[Andy]

In the video's death,

[Mike]

Mike is struggling

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

to believe in everything none of it has.

[Andy]

Mike's typing his shit and it's just more videos. And he types in Let It Die. Launch day, more videos. Let it Die. Inferno. Launch day, more videos. I'm like, you're in the video Stab. You have to go to all

[Mike]

Good thing Death Metal Dan art. And Chad says, I've never heard someone say Suda5.1. I always used to say Suda51 but then I got corrected. Apparently it is Suda5. One is how you say it either. Yeah. But anyway, really like the original Let It Die. Me and Shuhei Yoshida were both fans. They then put out a Let It Die multiplayer arena game a few years ago that came out and went. Or came and went. Let It Die. Inferno is sort of the follow up to Let It Die. If you remember earlier in the year I played Lost Soul aside for about an hour and I talked about and people really upset. I played about five minutes of this and I didn't like it. Played five minutes. I was like, I'm good. I don't want to do this.

[Andy]

What do you experience any of the multiplayer aspects of it? Were you fighting other people?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

No. This isn't PvP. I was hoping it was at Arena Style 1.

[Mike]

I didn't get far enough to even care.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like I got far enough to mess around with the controls in the tutorial and I was just like I just don't like how this feels or looks like nothing about this is doing it for me. And honestly, the biggest turn off already going in was the AI stuff.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And I was like, I don't. I already don't really want to play this game, mess around with it. And when I got better things to play, I don't really want to do this.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

It's sitting at 210 user reviews on Steam, all mostly negative right there. I will turn this on once. Similar to Bless.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Just to see what the hell is going on. So I'll turn it on once.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Mike]

It is really weird. Like, it is like if you're looking for some weird, it has all of it, but it has all that. But a lot of the weird, I'm like, is that AI weird or did a human put this together? Like, you'll see like a monster with, like mouths in weird places. And I'm like, this.

[Andy]

Once you taint the waters, you never know.

[Mike]

Yeah. It's like I just don't know what I'm looking at anymore. So there it is.

[Greg Miller]

Okay, good enough. From there, we move on to. This is actually just customer or not customer service. I guess customer service. I was gonna say public service. Lonely Mountain Snow Riders was supposed to come out on December 3. It has been delayed. I've gotten a press release about this now it is just soon. So. But they. They. That makes it sound like very, very soon. Like, I don't. I think you'll get it before the end of the year. But it's missing its date here.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

We're pushing for cert.

[Andy]

We're, you know.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Unfortunately. Yeah. This game is already out. You can play it on other platforms. It is a total five.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That's the follow up to of course, Lonely Mountain Downhill with the downhill mountain biking. But this time now you can add a bunch of friends into a lobby and all race together. Do cool tricks. But this is a lot of fun. This is a. A hidden gem right here.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, really? Hidden gem?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah, this is a gem. Janet Garcia likes this game a lot as well.

[Greg Miller]

Okay, keep your eyes peeled, everybody.

[Andy]

For the ones, just hang out. Not friend slot, but like a Hang Hang slope.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

You are.

[Andy]

Oh, Hang Beasts.

[Mike]

Hang Beasts.

[Greg Miller]

No, this is better than Hang Beasts.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Better than Hang Beasts.

[Greg Miller]

Then one we made fun of a long, long, long ago. Popucom comes to switch December 3rd. Popucom is a multiplayer co op platform adventure game. As an adventurer, you are summoned to an unknown planet to embark on an exoplanet adventure. With your friends, you will face various enemies and use engaging items and techniques to eliminate threats. And restore the world to its former glory.

[Andy]

I bought this on Steam that day though. Did you in that direct.

[Greg Miller]

Did you play it?

[Andy]

No, I never hate to see it but it looks so like fascinating and like what a simple concept that could likely work really, really well. It just seems super sick for audio listeners. You have, you know, these different colored blobs and you have guns that shoot different types of colored ammo. And it has to like, like, you know, you have to kind of match up all the colors with each other in order to progress through the level in a very like almost it takes two type of way or. Or split fiction. But yeah, it just seems like kind of a. Like how has this not been done a whole lot before?

[Mike]

It takes split tune.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

It's almost like a. It reminds me of Death squared as well.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. 100.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That kind of puzzle solving. It would be perfect for like a fun Friday stream.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

If we got four.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Together just to. To play it for an hour or two.

[Greg Miller]

Put it on the list. Mike Bless always just screams into every show he's on.

[Mike]

You ever put dreams on the list?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

It's all that banjo kazooie. I thought.

[Mike]

Yeah, listen, I thought you put a banjo stream.

[Greg Miller]

I told you he wasn't watching the show. Yeah, calling for you on the show. I'm like, he ain't watching this. You're calling for something, Superman.

[Mike]

Don't you watch the show?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I have my phone on. Tim hates it, but I have my phone.

[Greg Miller]

Why did you come in when we called you then?

[Mike]

Yeah, you didn't come in. Right.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I might have been talking to Charlie

[Greg Miller]

about the Red Bull viewfinder. Comes to switch December 3rd. A mind bending first person adventure game. Challenge perception, redefine reality and shape the world around your instant camera. Of course when we did P.S. i love you Xoxo. This one had come to PlayStation. I played it there. You played it?

[Mike]

I played it.

[Greg Miller]

Well enjoyable but wasn't like worldwide but it was cool.

[Mike]

Like it's. If you're watching the trailer, it's exactly what it looks like, which is really, really cool. I think I wanted more from some of the puzzle solving and more from like what they're doing with the world and all that stuff.

[Andy]

But.

[Mike]

But it is worth checking out and

[Greg Miller]

worth playing now you can on Switch December. What's out now? Up next, blood refreshed supply, PlayStation 5, Xbox, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, you name it. December 4th. Today things are about to get bloody. Soak up 42 pulse pounding levels dripping with Lovecraftian atmosphere as you battle your Way through armies of sycophant cultists, zombies, gargoyles, hellhounds and other insatiable horrors in your quest to defeat the loathsome Trickten Bog. And it looks like doom.

[Mike]

Is this what we call Boomer shooters? Yeah, yeah, the Boomer shooter.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Where do you fall on the Boomer shooter, Andy? Because like I see this, I'm like, that's an Andy game. But then I'm also like, I don't think he plays Boomer shooter.

[Andy]

No, I don't, I don't really. And a lot of it is. I just, I don't necessarily love the 3D games with the 2D card billboard look of everything being like just a flat image. There's a lot of like 3D models it looks like in here. But I don't know, I just. It's never quite been my vibe. I played the old Dooms back in the day and I prefer more of. I guess when I think of something like Metal Hell Singer, which sure. It just feels like I'm getting a bit more like accuracy as opposed to just kind of like let me just spray this gun all over.

[Mike]

Did I see this game? This game has eight player split screen. They just said that in the trailer.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That's kind of.

[Andy]

You gotta have a big,

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

you know

[Greg Miller]

these widescreen TVs now you split it in half once.

[Mike]

How wide is that screen?

[Greg Miller]

Forward up there. You're all set, you're all ready to go. You're going to have some fun time from there. We roll into Cloudheim early access on PC today as well. Ragnarok shattered the world and the gods have chosen you to reshape the next one. Cloud Heim is a one to four player action adventure that blends crafting with chaotic physics based combat. Awaken forgotten deities, drive back corruption and upgrade your shop in the sky to bring harmony to a broken realm. Realm. Michael.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I saw this today, Greg. I was actually on Steam looking around. I said, man, is this a Mike and Andy game. It sounds like little survival crafting type look with it. You know, there's been so many. I still want to go back to that sky one that we played, Lost in the Sky.

[Andy]

Oh, Lost Skies. Lost guys is awesome.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

But this one right here had kind of a vibe where I was like, oh man, we might have to give this a try.

[Andy]

Yeah. The production levels and just the way all of the combat looks like there's. There's kind of an easy giveaway of if the quality of a game and how much you're gonna enjoy it is like do the, do the, do the characters move in a nice way?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Or do they look kind of janky when they walk? You know, like, so far, everything I'm seeing here looks very, very high quality.

[Mike]

Reminds me of Spell Break a little bit.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Dude, Bring back Spell Break as a single player rpg, dude. Oh, I can see that.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That would be a big rework. Yes.

[Andy]

This is the conversation I was talking about. If you, you have rich families, give the money to me.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And then I'll say I'll, I'm going to build a team and you're going to make a. Hey, the team who worked on. Because they laid off the whole team. They laid off everybody. Yeah, I'll tell. Hey, J.J. abrams, get in there. Whoever the. You know what I mean? Like, let's make a secret.

[Mike]

And he's describing series A funding.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

By the way, I love this.

[Mike]

It's so cool, man. If you have money, give it to me. Give it to me.

[Andy]

People together.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

We'll make a game.

[Andy]

I'm not going to tell. I'm not going to use it for a nefarious purpose.

[Greg Miller]

No, no, of course not.

[Andy]

I'm going to make games.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

We're going to make games.

[Andy]

Hey, you 13 people, here's, you know, here's all this money.

[Greg Miller]

How much money are you going to give them?

[Andy]

Yeah, I don't know, man.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

How much money?

[Andy]

I mean, they're going to have to crunch a lot.

[Greg Miller]

Spring is here and there's a whole new way to chai at Starbucks that's

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

made perfect for you.

[Greg Miller]

Choose your sweetness, dial it up or keep things light. Add a touch of pistachio, a hint of strawberry or vanilla, or make it a spring classic with lavender. Because this season there's endless ways to chai at Starbucks. And we are back everybody. Andy called out something interesting game Informers list doesn't include DLCs and updates. And that's why upcoming up for Pokemon. I had personally added it in because I was excited for it. And then you called out that of course since that me and Mike of course forgot to call out Skate season two. Big deal out there. But then of course Andy, you called out the Elden Ring Night Rain, the for Forsaken Hollows. Man, I always just felt asleep in

[Andy]

the middle of the.

[Greg Miller]

My mouth was like nope, we're not going to say it. Talk to me about this, Andy.

[Andy]

Forsaken Hollows came out today. Officially yesterday. It was like, you know, kind of this weird staggered worldwide release where it came out on PC at 3pm West coast, but 8pm on console west coast and like you know, the rest of the world kind of got it around the same time. But. But the Forsaken Hollows is the first DLC pack for the eldering Night Rain multiplayer game. It is 15 bucks you get two new Nightfarers which are awesome as hell so far that so far what we've played there is a brand new kind of shifting Earth which is kind of the. The way that they add variables to what the the environment is that you'll be fighting in. They added a bunch of new mini bosses while you are on your adventure and then they added two big ass bosses that are like the main ass ones that you're going after. So we see here in the trailer there's a. The Dancing lion from Shadow of the Erdtree which was not in the the prior version. And that's going to be in this. In this version now we see Artorias right there. We see all sorts of cool enemies that from Souls Games past and other Elden Ring enemies that are now popping in. And it's awesome so far. It's just got me hooked again. I just want to play. It's so good. I did have somebody in my YouTube comments go saying like wait, I thought Night Rangers DLC for Elden Ring is this DLC for the DLC? It's like. No, no, no. Night Range is a different video game. It's a multiplayer video game. It has nothing to do with a single player massive open world campaign. It's a roguelite multiplayer.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

It's one of my favorite moments, Greg. Because it's a new map as well.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, right.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

And so you have that excitement of like learning something new, finding the strategy, finding your routes, getting completely lost. Right. There's that thrill factor when me and Andy and Bless jumped in yesterday of like we're in a. We're in the underground. It's a cave setting. I have no idea where we're going. I rely only on Andy to be the in game leader. And he's lost. I'm lost.

[Andy]

We jumped into so much fun. We jumped into so many holes.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy]

The amount of like, just like, I'm just trying to run. And you just like do a leap of faith. You're like, it's nothing below me here. I just fall into a chasm. Yeah. It's just. It's. I. It's such a big deal to me. Whenever, like I. The fact that there are some people out there that were like, oh, are you actually like, are you gonna play this? Are you gonna go back to it? It's like, dude, we're whenever from software is gonna hit you with new bosses. Like, that's an event. That's like, that's a really big deal. And so far, the first one that I fought last night with Melissa with a Y. Sorry, Mike.

[Greg Miller]

Gonna.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

We're without me.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

What happened there? Why did you dump Mike?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I mean, I. I'm not really happy about it. You know, Andy said, okay, everybody, we gotta turn off our streams and the night we gotta go out to dinner with Kasenka. And I proceed to turn off everything, run as fast as I can to dinner. And then I turn on Andy's still streaming, still gaming without me.

[Andy]

I thought I'd do one more run. And then we just kept on succeeding. We just kept on doing, well, 7, 20 and. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Greg Miller]

Somebody's holding it back.

[Andy]

It was a good time, though. Like, I'm just so kind of. I'm so enamored of what's happening right now. The one thing that I want to tell Mike that was fascinating every and. And bless as well. When we hopped in, it was like this brand new map, right? It's like, what is this? This. This isn't just a portion of the map that has changed. This whole thing is completely different. What's going on here? And after four failed attempts, we then got the normal world again.

[Mike]

Oh, for the new boss.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Interesting.

[Andy]

For the new boss. So I'm not sure that's just a shifting.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I don't want that. Yeah. I only want to be in the new map.

[Greg Miller]

No wonder they dumped your ass.

[Andy]

Don't need you complaining. Okay, I. I need a wand. Okay, okay. Figure it out. Figure it out. But I don't know. I'm super pumped to just keep on playing. That's all I want to do.

[Greg Miller]

Hell yeah. Well, thank you, Andy, for making sure we said something about that. I appreciate that. I'm sorry that Game Informer here hates it so much that they left it off.

[Mike]

Releases.com not inform hot slash game slash daily.

[Greg Miller]

All right, I'll remember that one. Cult of the Lamb is coming to iOS today as well. Start your own cult, Land of false prophets. Venturing out into diverse and mysterious regions to build a loyal community of woodland followers to spread the word. I loved this game back when I played it. It has had so many additions to it, I'm not sure what if they're all coming to iOS. I imagine they are, but this is a game that I enjoyed so much back then. Every time they drop one of these new things, I'm like, Mike, I. I should. Do I go back? Should I go back? But I have to reroll it. I'd have to start from scratch. My Cult saw to date. But I loved Cult of the Land.

[Andy]

I can still hear such a great soundtrack. The. The. It's kind of like the roguelite version of no Man's sky, where it's just like, wait, you look and you go, oh. They've put out seven DLCs or whatever. I think they're like at four or five, but it's like.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, no, no, no.

[Andy]

It's been a surprising amount of content coming studio and so, like, I'm really impressed with their output, I guess.

[Mike]

Surprised by the amount of Cult of the Lamb fans I meet out in the wild.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like, even I was just at a friendsgiving and I met like a couple people that I had never met before. Right. And they're a couple. And I was like, oh, you guys play any games? Like, not really. We play Cult of the Lamb, though. And I'm like, oh, really random.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Talk about that more and.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

You know, I do the combat, they do the world building or whatever.

[Greg Miller]

That's fun. That's cool. I like that. Yeah. More people be doing an iOS today, I guess. Of course, then the game that needs no introduction. Metroid Prime 4 Beyond out on Switch and Switch 2 today. Samus is back and just fucking shit up. What have any of. So did anybody start it yet here?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Well, he went to an event.

[Andy]

I played the event.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, but I mean, like last night, I know a lot of people at like nine. Nine o' clock were on it.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

And you're playing it today?

[Greg Miller]

I started today and I'm sure me

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

and Blessed will find some time here. Yeah, I want to start playing.

[Mike]

It's probably my next priority. I've seen a lot of mixed things though though.

[Andy]

Yeah, I've seen a lot of like polarizing stuff, but enough to where I know that the, the positives will severely outweigh the negatives that I may feel about it. It's just based on everything that I've heard about how the game is doing discovery and investigation and just, and puzzle design and like those moment, those little light bulb moments you go, oh, that's what you like. That's what I love about like my current adventure right now with Metroid Prime Remastered. And so yeah, I feel like I'm going to really vibe with it.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think I right now have the buy in of somebody who just really, really enjoyed Metroid Prime Remastered and wants to have more of that experience. But like I feel like there are games that I'm, I, I'll play for Game of the Year and I'm like I want to see if I want to play this to if it's going to be on the list. And I based on what people are saying online, I'm like, I don't know if it's going to be a top five or I hope it is for me.

[Greg Miller]

But yeah, for me, not a Metroid person. The headlines as I said on the review, right. Calling it making so many comparisons Docarina of Time that gets me like oh okay, okay. So I'm excited to do this hour and see if it sticks and if it'll be my weekend as I build up to the Pokemon dlc which we'll talk about soon. But right now we're gonna move on to Octopath Traveler 0, also out today. I reviewed it yesterday. I gave it a 9 out of 10 and declared it is my game of the year right now. I hope everyone who is at all interested in a turn based RPG with a really fun story, character arc, bunch of goofy ass happening in there gets into it because I just adore this game. And Andy, I know you played 20 some hours of it. You were on the review as well. Mike Blessing, are you at all interested in Octopath Traveler 0? Just too big of a game. Yeah, yeah, I have too much happening. My the review Yesterday was at 70 hours and I still have more to go.

[Mike]

Yeah. I will say though, I forget what game we're playing. It was on Night Rain actually. We were playing the new area and music kicked in. That kind of gave me the feeling of like man, I feel like I'm playing an epic gr.

[Greg Miller]

Sure.

[Mike]

It kind of had that tone to it and so it gave me a little Bit of the appetite. But not right now.

[Andy]

The song during the new boss fighting Elder. Oh my God. It's like that they're going on.

[Mike]

Oh yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Greg. It's been an interesting journey with Octopath because I liked Octopath 1. I liked the demo so much that I did buy the game and jumped into a fair amount of it but never continued on. And then Octopath 2 came and I thought I would be into it and I never turned it on. I'm on a a big kind of turn based RPG kick right now. This is definitely in my pocket. You saying it's your game of the year, Andy Liking it as well. Like it's high on my list right here for sure.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

They have a lot of voice acting.

[Greg Miller]

Yes, they do voice acting.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Oh, that's a win for me that. I like that.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Greg Miller]

From there we move on to Power Wash Simulator. Also coming to iOS today, it's power Wash Simulator. You know, a game that I've not been shocked, I guess but yeah shocked probably over the years the way it has found a fan base and how many people are addicted to this. I remember when Gary Widow was obsessed with it. Now of course Joey's always been obsessed with it. Good on them for making it die. OS get into a brand new audience.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Power wash simulator 2. Best chill game of the year.

[Andy]

Damn. Wow.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Best chillax game to the year.

[Andy]

There are you. Are you plan like what's your history with Power Wash? Because I feel like that's maybe where your simulation fascination started.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

This might be the kickoff is right when you bring that up, Andy, that this might be the turn on to the moment of like I like all these simulator games. Yeah. I mean number two's got the co op factor with you and your friends now, which is the big push. They got some fun features to it but like nothing better than just hanging out with your friend, maybe turning on some one piece right in the background and just zoning out to this. There's a, a. I'm a 50. 50, you know me, I like to get things done. I like to keep it moving. And this is very more of like you got to chill. You got to get every nook and cranny. And I'm more like let's get this thing over with. Going on to the next. Yeah, that's a push and pull for me.

[Greg Miller]

An interesting one. Routine comes to Xbox and PC December 4th. That's today routine is a first person sci fi horror set on an abandoned lunar base designed around an 80s vision of the future explore and Investigate your surroundings as you survive against unknown threats. I forget. It might have been that partner showcase that this one dropped this trailer at. And I was intrigued enough to ask for a code. I have it. I just have not had the time with Octopath and everything else to jump in and give it a kid.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Is the VHS one that I thought, like, kind of outlasty vibes.

[Andy]

Yeah. Lots of VHS tech. This has all the, like, the super kind of like retro throwback sci fi stuff happening with it. But. But it's. It's. You know, I don't really fuck with scary games, but it looks. I just love the tech that they're using. I love the. The art direction and just the whole vibe of it seems totally up my alley.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Do we know where reviews went on this? I thought I saw a tweet that was like. There was like nines and then there was a bunch of sixes.

[Mike]

Yeah. I think it was like kind of

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

mixed in the middle here.

[Andy]

Yeah. Sitting at a 78.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Okay.

[Andy]

On open Critic.

[Greg Miller]

Not bad for a horror game.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I'll put it as a hard maybe.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I like. I like playing a good horror game. For sure.

[Greg Miller]

From there today as well. Son Racing crossworlds. Comes to Switch too, finally. Oh, yeah. So there you go. We were fans of that one here. We did enjoy that one then. Thief VR, Legacy of Shadow comes to PlayStation VR 2 quest and PC today. Step into the shadows in Thief VR. You are Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Baron Northcrest and shaped by the streets. Use VR mechanics to steal, evade, and outsmart the city's forces. Your goal, a relic Northcrest vault which uncovers a far greater artifact with a powerful legacy. Legacy. Good for you.

[Andy]

You gotta. You gotta borrow Greg's psvr. Mike. This feels like something you'd with, like the way you with Hitman there.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

There are. There's a piece of me that. Let's just say this. I'm gonna play Half Life Alex here very soon. And that should be the kickoff of, like. Should I try some more VR games? I'll put this on the list for sure.

[Greg Miller]

Ghostbusters. Rise of the Ghost Lord. I'll see you there.

[Mike]

Saves the universe. Well, not anymore.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Okay.

[Mike]

But I liked it.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah. What's that.

[Andy]

What's that pill you take to stop motion? The red pill.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, Dramamine. Drama.

[Andy]

Dramamine.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Nice.

[Andy]

So I. I want to give that a shot. I have three bottles in my backpack right now.

[Greg Miller]

Jesus Christ.

[Andy]

Because I always buy.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

What, the insane amount.

[Andy]

The little travel ones.

[Greg Miller]

I want to give it a shot. I have Three. Why did you buy three? Why'd you buy two more?

[Mike]

Why'd you bring them?

[Greg Miller]

Work?

[Andy]

I, I, I, they're in my bag.

[Greg Miller]

He packs everything in his bag. He's ready to go at any time.

[Andy]

I buy him at the airport and because I was, I was gonna use, I was gonna use Tim's xreal thing, right?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And it gave me motion sickness the first time. But it was like a much older model and Tim was like the new one does it like you'll be a lot better off with it. But I, I still took the drama just in case. But I still had like three extra bottles in my back in case you guys want some either as well. They're anti drowsy so they don't make

[Greg Miller]

you go to tomorrow. Nick tunes. And the Dice of Destiny comes to switch to. This is one that has been out for a while on the other platforms. I want to play it and Ben doesn't want to play it. You know how I love Diablo? It's an action rpg. Diablo. But it's got Leonardo and spongebob and yada yada. And I'm always like, Ben, you want to do.

[Andy]

It's like, no, tell him no pizza night. Like, hey, fuck, I'm in charge.

[Greg Miller]

I love punishing him. Yeah.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

What about Minecraft Dungeons? You ever try that with.

[Greg Miller]

I haven't tried that yet, but I Platinum. That was Joey. So I really don't that there's no benefit from me going back back to the. You know what I mean? Like this. I can get you trophies and I could have something fun. Look at Timmy, man. It's cute.

[Mike]

I wish I could have played this game as a kid. This is cute as.

[Greg Miller]

Come over and play with me and Ben. Maybe if Funko Bless comes.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Oh, they got our avatar lady.

[Mike]

Oh, man, they put this on the wrong year. They should have put this out in 2000.

[Andy]

Susie from Rugrats.

[Mike]

Jimmy Neutron. They got fucking Jenny the teenage Robot.

[Greg Miller]

I'm telling you, this is the shit, man.

[Mike]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Andy]

Wait, Timmy Neutron.

[Mike]

No, Jimmy Neutron.

[Andy]

Timmy's turn. Timmy. Oh, the crimson chin. It looks Leonardo.

[Greg Miller]

It's awesome. I want to play it.

[Mike]

What the Mike?

[Greg Miller]

Put it on the streaming account.

[Mike]

Not make new cartoons. Why do they have all the classics in here?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

You gotta go back to the classic.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

December 6th. The rhythm doctor comes to Xbox and PC. Save patients with your rhythm mastery. Rhythm Doctor is a rhythm game where you heal patients by defibrillating. Defibrillating them in time to their heartbeats. Learn each patient's Unique heartbeat and defeat boss viruses trying to sabotage your rhythm. All heart pumping soul soothing music.

[Andy]

This sounds cool.

[Greg Miller]

Sounds like a very, very cool idea. Right? Yeah. Almost elite beat agents or whatever, but.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Or try trauma team or no. What am I? Trauma. Trauma team. The DS game where I used to play as a doctor. What is that? Trauma team. Trauma team.

[Mike]

Trauma center.

[Greg Miller]

Trauma center.

[Andy]

I was too busy getting. You know,

[Greg Miller]

you never even met a.

[Andy]

I was like 10. I think I was doing that.

[Greg Miller]

Angeline Era is Our next game. December 8th 8th. Every level, every level is hidden in plain sight in this non linear 3D action adventure game. Travel a vast country's unmarked overworld in search of the next challenging fight. Humorous encounter or mysterious landscape. You decide what's covered next, bro.

[Mike]

Do you know what's first of all? Actually I could see a little bit.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Don't say that.

[Mike]

It's crazy because I didn't grow up with a PS1, but I love a PS1 art style. I don't know what it is.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Something about what they were doing on that platform.

[Andy]

No, I don't think you're wrong. Yeah.

[Mike]

I just want every game to look like Brad.

[Andy]

The body shapes are. Yes, yes. The body shapes are so cute, man.

[Greg Miller]

Then hell freezes over on December 8th and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 comes to PlayStation 5. Mike.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yo. I love Microsoft Flight Simulator. There's something that awoken inside of me and I just can't get enough of it one day.

[Andy]

Well, you got your. You got your pp. My ppl.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Private Private's license. My. My ppl. Yeah. I love flight sim. I hope that more people want to jump into it.

[Host - Sponsor Announcer]

It is.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Is a fantastic, incredible game. How they leverage the cloud and AI and build into this gigantic world that you're just flying in all the time. It's the coolest. And all the updates that they have by the time that you'll play. This is really, really dope from the new missions, new planes. Of course all the different regions have been updated to look better. When you come down closer to the ground, it will always not look perfect. Yeah, I've come to accept that. But like it is crazy to fly over like Lake Tahoe and be like that's my house right there. You know what I mean?

[Andy]

When you. When you get out of the plane.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah.

[Andy]

What are you doing?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

You can take photos of giraffes. Oh yeah, you can.

[Andy]

They're everywhere.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

They've been let loose. No, they have some fun photography missions in this now. Cuz 2024 was all about like doing more Things than just landing and takeoff. So yeah, they have like photography in this way. You will. Will fly over certain areas, land the plane, go take a photo of something, get back in the plane and take off.

[Andy]

I saw a guy on Tick Tock make a video about a little island that like, it's one of those. It's like in the indigenous people there sure are like, it's like, don't. Do not. It's illegal to even go there. You know what I mean? Like, do not with these people, but like they, they went there in the Microsoft flight simulator and like had the guy walk around and like, that's kind of wild. There's some dark secrets. No, I'm kidding. There was nothing there, but it was just like. It was just like a fascinating T tok man. I'll watch anything.

[Greg Miller]

I'm gonna go.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I'm gonna go fly over the Phoenix Festival happening on Saturday.

[Andy]

Oh, who's playing Billy McFarland.

[Greg Miller]

Story comes to PlayStation 5, Switch 2 and PC on December 8th. Ollie, Kick, Flip and grind your way through the ash and smoke of the underworld as you take on a seemingly impossible quest. Skate fast and to destroy demons and save other tortured souls on your journey from fragile beginner to harden hardened skater. How. Where are we at with this, everybody?

[Andy]

I had this on my fancy critic two years in a row.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, can't believe it's actually coming out.

[Andy]

Yeah, it's actually coming out pretty cool. It's one I want to try out. It's never one that I feel like was gonna fuck with me, but there's just something about it that I feel. Well, there's a lot about it, right? Like, yeah, you can't look at this and be like, yeah, no shit. There's something about it, like a lot visually going on with it, and I really hope that it kind of hits on like, like, you know, deeper themes about, you know, stories.

[Mike]

I. I flips. I've been very much looking forward to this one. I think the demo had unsold me a little bit and it's the smallest tweak of they changed how certain controls work from, like how skate does it. Where when you're playing skate, it's all on the right analog stick as far as your ollie and your tricks and all that stuff. Here it's on the face. Like one of the face buttons is jump. I want to say either circle or square is sure, sure, sure. And it's like you use your shoulder buttons for modifiers for the that and that was enough during the Diamondbake. Be like No, I was like, I don't like this.

[Greg Miller]

Got it. We shall see. December 8th also sees Yakuza 0 Director's Cut come out to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC. Obviously Yakuza well known in these parts thanks to Roger and a million other people. Then a game about digging a hole comes to PlayStation 5, Xbox and Switch. December. Play this game.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Everybody should play this game.

[Greg Miller]

If you aren't familiar. A minimalist game about digging a hole in the corner garden of a newly purchased house. Collect resources, sell them, upgrade your equipment and discover a mysterious secret. Costs you only one coffee. This of course has been on PC, Mike. Tell me about it.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah, these are one of those games where this is what really drove me to start playing more on Steam and PC is seeing these games that come out in early access or like these weird wacky games that just don't really make their way to console or too late over to console. But a game about digging a hole is just so much fun because there's something that calls to every human being being.

[Greg Miller]

What if I calls to us?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

What if I keep going down? I yearn for the minds and there's something down there. There's something in your backyard and you're going to go find it. So I'll tell you, go play this. You can even play with your friends as well. Just start digging and get lost in the game.

[Andy]

You'll love it.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. Death howl comes to PC December 9th. Journey through the sorrowful spirit world in a souls like deck builder. Craft cards and claim powerful totems to defeat the woeful spirits lurking in the mystical lands. Unravel the tale of a grieving mother and her desperate attempt at ay d death and bring back her son. Bless you oud Right away.

[Mike]

I mean, yeah, this game very much speaks to me. I forget when we first saw this

[Andy]

game, but it was at a Steam next fest many like moons ago. I feel I played it like probably last year in a Steam next fest.

[Mike]

Cuz like just the, the. I mean they said the right buzzwords for me, right Neck builder and souls like. And I was talking to Andy about this I think yesterday where I'm like oh yeah, the game Death Howl is coming out. Why do they call it a soul? Like I'm very interested in like what that aspect of it is. Andy had the theory of like well, well probably so they don't. Probably so they don't make you think it's a roguelite. Because whenever you hear deck builder in an indie game, you automatically assume that it's A slay the spire or an inscription or something. Or Balatro. Right. Like a lot of these games end up having that sort of structure to them. And so the idea of playing a game that's more of an adventure, you're going from point A to point B and you're experiencing the story of grief and sorrow and what this main character is going through. I really like that. I think that has a really interesting slant to it.

[Andy]

And it's got just one of those art styles that's like, oh, they know what they're doing. This is a really good visual look. This isn't something, you know, trying to copy a whole lot of other things. It's just got such its own unique vibe.

[Greg Miller]

Dome Keeper comes to Xbox December 9th. This one has been out in PC for quite some time. Defend against waves of alien monsters in this unique roguelike action miner. Dig for resources, collect useful gadgets and upgrade equipment. Anybody ever play it?

[Andy]

No.

[Greg Miller]

I remember seeing this the way he said.

[Andy]

No, I, I, we saw this on the Xbox thing, I believe. Yeah, it's, it's one that like kind of got me like, oh, it got me a little.

[Greg Miller]

It looks interesting.

[Andy]

Yeah, I kind of reacted the same way when I saw Monsters are Coming. Oh yeah, I believe is awful name, which is an awesome game also, by the way. Yeah, this looks fascinating. I kind of forgot this one was.

[Greg Miller]

Add it to your list. Pay attention. Farming Simulator Signature Edition comes this switch to December 9th. You know, Farming Simulator, of course. Back in 2015 I did an amazing let's play that I had forgotten all about until somebody came up at a show and was like, remember their farming sim thing where you scream tech support at the end? And I was like, I guess, yeah, haven't thought about that in years. But yeah, I remember it. So good for you. If you need to play Farming Simulator on Switch too, then. Keyborg comes to switch December 9th. Keyborg is a relentless roguelite Beat em up where you enhance your body with new cybernetic implants. Each run you've been sent to the worst prison in the galaxy for crimes you didn't commit. Death won't provide an escape, but a violent reality show may offer you a way out.

[Andy]

Out.

[Greg Miller]

This is another one that's been on PC, but I had not heard of it. And then it does sound up many of Yalls Alley.

[Andy]

It's like, this is exactly what you want out of a, out of a double A game. Like this. This looks really cool. Yeah, but like out of the lighting's doing some weird stuff. Maybe that's just a Switch version I would imagine, right?

[Greg Miller]

If you go check out the PC

[Andy]

like no shadows, not a shadow to be seen, you know.

[Greg Miller]

On December 9th you can also get lock or maybe lok Digital on Switch. Learn a cryptic language of world changing words and master their mind bending effects. Discover. Learn the rules as you go and uncover how each new word has its own special ability to change the word around you in deep and surprising ways. Expand your vocabulary through 15 distinct worlds. Each one exploring a new mechanic and completely shaking up the way you solve puzzles. Puzzle Poppy.

[Mike]

Oh my God. I don't even know how to describe what I'm looking at, but I want to try it, I want to play it. I mean it's giving me all the feelings I feel when I'm like playing the fucking New York Times games. It seems like a word game like that but obviously more full fledged, just indie thing. This looks cool.

[Greg Miller]

Hell yeah. I thought so too. I thought you might like that one. When that comes out, thank goodness you're here. Makes its appearance on Xbox similar to when we do these and we're like xbox didn't have that game. Thank goodness you're here.

[Andy]

A game we, we gotta clip that

[Greg Miller]

part out that we loved. Hilariously funny, very British. Is finally coming to Xbox December 9th. So grab it there if you haven't.

[Mike]

Fun fact locked Digital already out on Steam. It's been out on Steam for about a year.

[Greg Miller]

Good. Then Unbeatable comes to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC. December 9th. Barrett wooed off camera. Unbeatable is a rhyth adventure where music is illegal and you do crimes. Follow the story of Beat and her band on the run in narrative experience. In a narrative experience full of big emotions. Powered by arcade, flawless rhythm, gameplay.

[Mike]

Hell yeah. Very much looking forward to this.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I'm. I'm excited to see how this one is because it's, it's. Is it so intense that I can't play it or is it like can I have a. A little story and where I going through?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Dude, I'm going to get a little selfish really quick.

[Greg Miller]

Please.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

This is the only game that I've been thinking about about all month long.

[Greg Miller]

Whoa.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

For all I can think about is this video game. Selfishly, because it's all about fantasy. It comes down to Mike and Barrett. Right now I am like 15 points up on Barrett and this game is the last game on Barrett's list. And all I can think about, I go to bed, I think about, I wake up, I go, oh my God. When is this video game Coming out, I come into work, I look at the calendar, I go, okay, what day is this game coming? Coming out. When will I know, right? And so I'm just. I can't stop thinking about this video game.

[Andy]

Damn, dude.

[Greg Miller]

Are you worried? Are you? What do you. How you feel?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Hell yeah, I'm worried. It's got a cool style in it. That means it's probably good, you know what I mean?

[Mike]

Like, make Barrett unbeatable.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Barrett probably listen to a podcast that said, yo, this is funny.

[Greg Miller]

He probably cheated again. He cheated again. What he does all the time.

[Mike]

I'm giving you the credit. You got a good eye for video games.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

He's got a great eye.

[Mike]

He's got a great eye.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That's why I'm worried about it.

[Andy]

About it.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, here comes Barrett.

[Andy]

Tim and I have known about this game for four years.

[Greg Miller]

You, Mike. What podcast did Tim listen to in Mexico? Little Rocket Lab Comes to switch to December 10th. You play as Morgan, an aspiring engineer, headed home to complete your family's dream project, a rocket ship. Finding home not quite how she left it. Morgan will need to research and build clever contraptions to get out and save the day or whatever.

[Andy]

He really petered out.

[Greg Miller]

It keeps going. It's very long. I was like, let's look at what we got here. Okay.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Little bit like a satisfactory building.

[Greg Miller]

You care? Anybody? Anybody?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

One day I'll try one of these.

[Mike]

I can live a different life, dude.

[Greg Miller]

Yep, yep, yep. Totally.

[Mike]

I'd love to play this.

[Greg Miller]

Then, of course, I don't have a date on here, but it's next week on the 13th. Maybe. Pokemon Legends ZA Mega Dimension drops. Venture into Hyperspace Lumio Lumios for the next chapter of your adventure. Mysterious distortions have appeared without warning in Lumiose City. They seem to be connected to a place known as Hyperspace Lumio. And the mythical Pokemon Hoopa has the power to transform them into portals so you can travel there. I am incredibly excited to go back to Pokemon Legends. EA so stoked. Cannot wait.

[Andy]

I'm almost done with it. Yeah, I'm on. I think I just got that rank

[Greg Miller]

D. Oh, very nice. But just stop there, you know.

[Andy]

Well, I gotta. Yeah, I mean, well, night rain came along, but I gotta like, you know, I will see it through because.

[Greg Miller]

Are you gonna do this dlc?

[Andy]

I. Probably not.

[Greg Miller]

Because I'm stopping every. Everything. I will review this as well. Cuz I am the voice of the Pokemon fan. It kind of.

[Andy]

Yeah, I do. I mean, I totally agree. With what? With what a lot of Y' all said about Pokemon Za just as a video game and tin talking about how it's, you know, it's pretty okay for the most part. And then you hit that moment and then for the rest of the game, it's like the most ridiculous funny hype, like, totally dead on, like, this game is a blast. So far are. Despite all of its shortcomings, there have been. There's been a controversy happening on Twitter. There's an anti Pokemon bot agenda where I thought somebody was coming into my chat to talk to me for buying this game. And then another person started doing it and they were saying the same things. And then we all, as a chat and as a community said, pause, let's ask this person a very pointed question. And it responded with just more kind of talking points of like, you spent $70 on this. It's just one city. Why would you do it? And it's like, oh, my God, these are just bots. There's like, there are people that are like just paying to have bots that monitor the Pokemon Za category on Twitch to then go in there and be like, why would you buy this? But they start off like this bless. Is this game. Is this just like one city or what?

[Greg Miller]

Oh, my God.

[Andy]

And they do. And they do like this kind of like, I'm. I'm gonna pretend to be coy and curious about this.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And then they're like, wow, so you spent like that much on this? Like, like. And then. And then they start kind of like harassing you. And they're like, you got. You got to be better with your money. And they start talking to you. I thought it was a person, but it's like, it's just these bots. It's so bizarre, man. It's so weird, dude.

[Mike]

All bots.

[Andy]

Garchon.

[Greg Miller]

All bots. After Pokemon on December 10th, you get Montezuma's Revenge, the 40th anniversary edition. All the consoles experience the timeless classic adventure. Now fully evolved, the 1983 classic multi room platformer, Montezuma's Revenge returns in 2.5D glory. And now Pedro's Adventure is bigger than ever.

[Mike]

Hell yeah. Glad to see this guy come back. Miss this game. Joking, we all.

[Greg Miller]

Why are we so ready just to keep on going? I mean, is this. I don't know. Is. I guess this is. Yeah. Did this. Is this. Did this inspire Spelunky? Is that the whole day? Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Or now they just rip it off.

[Mike]

Splunky, which I played Splunky like a week and a half ago with My friend Zachary, he's obsessed with Splunky. And he was like, yo, let's play it co op. I'm gonna take you through it's four levels. I was like, it's four levels. He's like, well, it's four worlds, but it's. That game is pretty cool. I don't know if y' all played Splunky.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Me, Nick and Andy played it once. Almost broke me.

[Mike]

That game's kind of wild. You can go to hell in that game.

[Andy]

Did you know that? Yeah, we. We went some places. It was mainly just us exploring each other's friendships and hell in the mind with Nick. How. Yeah, how little we enjoyed each other's company.

[Mike]

Yo, if y' all haven't played Splunky, you should check it out.

[Greg Miller]

Mutant Football League 2 comes to PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC. December 10th. Mutant Football 2 is a hard hitting arcade style football game that combines intense gameplay wise crack mutants, weapons, deep strategy and outrageous humor. Mike, you're all.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

I'm so pumped up on this. I can't believe they're making a second one. Because somehow I found the first one on Xbox a couple years back. Because I'm always in the hunt for an NFL Blitz. I miss NFL Blitz a lot. I miss Blitz, the league, I miss the nf, the NBA streets, the NFL streets of yesteryear.

[Andy]

Right?

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

We love the feelings and like there's something there where it's like NFL blitz in 2025 would be amazing. Right? And all of a sudden I found Super Mutant Football League. And I was like, what's going on here? And it is so much fun. The problem is it didn't feel great the first one. There's something about the turbo and the way your player runs and gets speed going that never felt as good as NFL Blitz. But it is over the top dumb. You can be the Mile High City Chronic. They all have fun names after the dent or after NFL teams. And I love that you can be different styles and genres of, you know, mutants, from zombies to werewolves to orcs. You know, I like all that. This game I have really high hopes for. If this can come out and just make me smile and have a good time, I'm in.

[Andy]

So I was. You mentioned a couple years back, I remember perusing the walls of freeze frame in far Texas where I would go rent games from them. And I remember seeing as a kid on the wall, super Nintendo game. And I thought it was this, but it was Mutant League Football.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

That's this. Yeah.

[Andy]

No, this is Football League.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah. So like This, I think this is. I think they maybe brought it back at one point, you know, So I was the first one. A 3D game like this Mike, the

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

one I played on Xbox, was just. I don't know about. Okay, I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

That's interesting because I was confused though, like, oh, this is a re release and like, it's a new game.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

What's going on?

[Andy]

I think it's like a road rage, road rash sort of situation.

[Blessing (Mike Bless)]

And like the big thing you see is like the environmental hazards along the football field. So like on the field there will be mines, there'll be crazy things that will just destroy your character. So it's fun.

[Greg Miller]

On December 11th, Pioneers of Pagonia comes to PC. The city builder challenges you to build a thriving community while facing the dangers of an untamed land. Lead your people to success in a procedurally generated and dynamic world. Construct detailed settlements, defend against emerging threats, and optimize resource management. Management. Cool.

The avatar frontiers of Pandora. Yeah. Which is far cry but if you have a machine that could run this or if you have Nvidia GeForce now, you. You owe it to yourself just to like walk into that world. Like we're not talking enough about Ubisoft and their art and technical team and how good shit always looks and doesn't require a whole lot of tinkering. Like Avatar was one of those.
