This week we talk about how little things like relentless tool tips threaten to spoil an otherwise fun adventure in Shadow of the Tomb Raider! Nolan shares his first impressions of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age as well as Frostpunk: Fall of Winterhome, a free expansion to one of his standout titles in 2018! There's also plenty of juicy news and some fun questions to answer in the 2nd segment!

Nick and Krispy dive deep into SPOILER territory to talk about what worked and what didn't in Spider-Man (PS4). Insomniac has delivered a game that is true to the source material while also blazing a new path ahead for this popular hero. We talk about the surprise villains, the thrilling action set-pieces, and the human moments that make this a game worth experiencing!

** SPOILER WARNING - If you have not finished the story of Spider-Man on PS4, you may want to wait until after you have finished to listen**

With Spider-Man from Insomniac Games finally out in the wild, we take a (spoiler-free) deep dive into the game to find out what makes the game so successful!
