What do Celeste, The Binding of Isaac and Hellblade have in common? Interesting approaches to talking about mental health, of course!

This week we get into the weeds about mental health in games, the relationship between player mental health and games, and society’s portrayal of and broader conversation about mental health.

Games also discussed: Elden Ring: Nightreign, Balatro, Crush House, Arcade Paradise, and, at some length, Death Stranding.
