Steve and Bobby are back this week with a hands-on preview of Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds 2!

We were provided with a vertical slice of the opening hour of The Outer Worlds 2, which covered the character creators, skills, perks, and traits of the upcoming sequel.

As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions—your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.

Hayes Madsen from Inverse returns to Creature Cast to talk about Donkey Kong Bananza, the upcoming 3D platformer coming to the Nintendo Switch.

From top-level thoughts to the voxel-based destruction, Bobby and Hayes go through the best of what Donkey Kong Bananza has to offer.

Review: Donkey Kong Bananza is far deeper than I ever anticipated, and it's absolutely one of this year's best games. From the moment I started to the moment I finished, I was laughing and smiling through each sublevel while exploring, and Bananza elevates the 3D platformer to a new high for Nintendo by doubling down on what Super Mario Odyssey does so well while re-introducing one of its best characters in a new game. This is undoubtedly what I wanted from the Switch 2, and Donkey Kong Bananza is a charming, elevated open-world platformer.
