This week, the Comrades explore two extremes: Factorio, which is a crunch crafting, optimization, and survival game... and Abzu, which is a serene exploration game with ThatGameCompany DNA.

If Watch Out For Fireballs! can cover Dishonored, Check It Out Comrade! can cover The Witcher 3, god damn it. Actually, this very remarkable game carries a bit of indie spirit along with a successful take on the giant grocery list genre of RPG. One of the best games we've played this year, on the show or otherwise.

In this episode, Nick and Gary check out a couple of games from Blendo Games, neither of which really did it for us. Wait, come back! We'll tell you why!

The Comrades talk a bit about the limits and pitfalls of irony before tackling a delightful open world nugget.

Oh, it's just one of the best games we've done on the show. Oh, and Ichi. Ichi is also here.

Nick and Gary take a look at a pair of mobile ports, one lackluster, one transcendent.

The most potato of potato games joins an exceptionally stylish and worthy stealth game. Brief admin note: no episode in 2 weeks to accommodate for travel. We'll be back in a month!

Nick and Gary check out another in the line of Nick's Picks, Human Resources Machine, as well as the conclusion to the stellar Last Door series.

You should totally play both of these games. Nick and Gary wax ecstatic about Race the Sun and Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight.

Pfft, more like Enter the Gushing. Nick and Gary really like this game. Listen to us explain why!
