Sony Soup for the Discord Soul

1 hour 30 minutes

Episode #196 of the Level Down Games Podcast. On today's show, the crew has A LOT to say on several new releases, including some early thoughts on Resident Evil Village, and then in-depth discussions on Returnal, New Pokemon Snap, and Wreckfest. Sean then has a dilemma as we get ready to move into The Burning Crusade all over again. From there, Sony and Discord blew the roof off the gaming industry by announcing a partnership last week, after weeks of rumors about Microsoft buying Discord. What could this mean, and could it be great for the industry as a whole? Plus, Oddventure on Kickstarter for Kickstart My Heart!
