This week on Buffs N Nerfs Sam and Andrew talk about the tedious tropes in games that need to be wiped off the gaming landscape. You know what we're talking about, the same redundant nonsense that makes games a slog or breaks the mystique. ALSO! The guys introduce a super dope new segment, the rundown is simple - each one selects a lesser known game 10 dollars or under on Steam, they go to their respective corners, play the game and come back next episode and review the game.

Hosts:

Andrew Lanca: T: (@ElAenciae) I: (@ElAenciae)

Sam Hall: I: (@samunderscorelastname)

Topic Run Down

GameStop

Escort missions and engines

Characters that are clearly trouble that you just can't kill until it's too late

Items that are too good to use

Maps that just...end

Unnecessarily bloating a single player game when the story and content just aren't there

New game review segment
