E117: Therapeutic Games


Listen Later

Oh man! This episode barely happened, but we pushed through and here is a new episode for you to enjoy! Since our schedueles has been quite busy we came upon the topic when games becomes therapeutic for us. Since one of us managed to get through a busy work week with a lot of stress, gaming then became a relaxation method to rest between work shifts. And it works! So we discuss games that could work as therapy for us. Do you have any go-to game that makes you relax?

Other than that on the newsfront a lot of showcases happened, Starfield is alive and coming this Autumn.  

We also talk about our first impressions of Atlas Fallen and Hyper Light Breaker gameplay trailers. And lastly Hogwarts Legacy is getting a little stale and Atomic Heart missed the mark.
