The Tangent - 102: Batman Nipples

It's a snow day here at The Tangent, but that won't stop us talking about game. Or the fact that there is no wrong Ninja Turtle to choose. Unless it's anyone besides Leonardo.

Justin leads off with Dishonored 2 again this week. He's on his 2 and a half play through, and with no powers. He finds the level design even more impressive playing this way. Borrowing a copy of Resident Evil 7 gave him the chance to play the game and to find that it's scaring the hell out of him. Constantly having his back against the wall. Gary then fills us in with some Overwatch information. Something about 'PTR'. No idea... But he has a 'Gary Bedtime Game™', Chameleon Run. It's sort of an 2-D endless runner where you have to match the color of the floor by switching the clothes color of your character. Nioh is a game made by Team Ninja that may be a better game that Dark Souls. Well, at least Anthony and Gary try to figure that one out. But the game is being compared to Dark Souls, for sure. Speaking of Anthony he's also got some follow up to Fire Emblem Heroes. It's a much similar version of the game. So, if any game is going to get you into the series, this should it. Finally, Brian talks a bit more about Owlboy. Four hours in and he is still impressed with the art style. While the puzzles seem to be getting easier he is still having fun. Then comes Papers Please. A simulation game that has you acting as border patrol and deciding who gets to come into the country. Brian was pretty fascinated by it. Just watch out for the Charlie Brown voices.

The news this week is short, but we talk about not being able to 100A% Breath of the Wild, Nintendo embracing the Unreal Engine, PS4 Pro's boost mode, South Park: The Fractured But Whole delayed again, and more!
