We recorded this ahead of Summer Game Fest and State of Play, which explains why Patrick, Chia, Rob, and Janet spend the opening moments of the podcast talking about cleaning responsibilities in the home. But we’ve also played a bunch of games, including changing our mind about Elden Ring: Nightreign, Popucom, Deliver at all Costs, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, and hey, Janet’s finished Clair Obscure! No, Chia has not finished Despelote. In The Question Bucket, we continue to mull the metroidvania question. How about metroidbrainia?
