Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

If an Erdtree falls in the forest, but the one person around to hear it is currently rolling around non-stop, will they be able to hear it? Just one of the thought exercises we get into this week, including examining deep questions such as what would it be like if one were to remaster Yooka-Laylee already? How many demoes of Rift of the Necrodancer and Metal Slug Tactics must a man play before he has played a full game? What is Beyond Good and Evil 2? And a question as old as time: do Ben and Adam like the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree? Put on your round glasses and get ready to stroke your chin as you listen to another philosophical episode of Filthy Casuals.

The Switch may be in its twilight years, but there's still life in the old girl yet, and Nintendo put out a few sunset surprises at this week's Nintendo Direct.

Plus there's Dragon Quest III HD-2D, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, and more remakes, remasters and rereleases that we were expecting. Plus we've played Indika, Alan Wake 2: Night Springs, and have even more to say besides.

Braid, a game about time manipulation, has somehow manipulated time in the real world in order to make 16 years pass in the blink of an eye, leading to the release of Braid: Anniversary Edition. We talk about it, plusp Mother 3, Adam's thoughts on the earlier parts of Hellblade II that there's been time to play before recording, as well as news about upcoming shadow-based games like Assassin's Creed Shadows and Elden Ring: Shadows of the Erdtree, as yet unconfirmed-shadow-related games like Valve's Deadlock and a potential Star Wars Total War game, and a whole bunch more. Listen now, before 16 more years suddenly vanish!

We rabbit on about Animal Well in a mammoth review this week, and you might think we're cuckoo for this but we also badger you with a little bit of news that we've ferreted out if you can bear it, as well as some Manor Lords early access that Ben's been wolfing down, and even more before we get crabby from all our yakking, clam up and end the episode. It's a whale of a time!

Note that we talk about Animal Well until about 50:30, we avoid spoilers it's mainly just broad discussion so you should be fine in my opinion, but that's where to head if you're desperate not to hear anything about it.
