We’re talking about our dream games - games we want but don't exist so far. John wants a Robinson Crusoe style survival game that isn’t so punishing to those who can’t reach the good coconuts. Brendan wants an open world talk ‘em up with obscene amounts of detail.

Speaking of dream games, John has also been playing No Man’s Sky again, following the recent update. He hasn’t tried multiplayer yet, but much has changed, not always for the better.
