This week we explore the World Health Organization’s decision to classify gaming addiction as a mental disorder. Has there been enough studies on the subject to justify the addition? Are there other factors involved instead of the blame solely on gaming? Find out our thoughts on the matter.

In our Weekly Console-tation segment, we discuss Hollow Knight, Yoku’s Island Adventure and Octopath Traveler, all for the Nintendo Switch. Afterwards, we discuss Japanese role-playing games and the critical pieces that create a great game in that genre.

We wrap it all up with a discussion on Disney ending Star Wars spin-off films, the odd trend of “plant nights” and more.
