October 23, 2022 Bayonetta 3 Voice Actor Drama & Gotham Knights Review
Bayonetta 3 voice actor drama has been the main subject of discussion for the past week, and considering how much Dylan’s been looking forward to playing the game, of course, we dig into the subject this week.
Also on the show this week, Gotham Knights is the next Batman game without any Batman, and it’s left Ciaran loving it and being let down at the same time. Dylan also finally gets to give his thoughts on the Wild Hearts preview he got to play.
