Game for Anything

High seas? More like, “Bye, seas!” Paul takes a look at Ubisoft’s latest pirate game, 11 years in the making, and finds it to be “all meat and no bone” (whatever that means…) Plus, we discuss our standout game from the latest Nintendo Direct: a game about a hermit crab getting a new shell that described itself as “Souls-like”. A big claim from One Crab’s Treasure, but maybe they can claw their way there. And speaking of Souls, a trailer for Elden Ring’s upcoming DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, just dropped - potentially coaxing Paul into playing the game for a 6th time.
