The Pitch

All you need is blood.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about the Assassin's Creed Unity giveaway. Risk of Rain II, and we ask you about fourth-wall-breaking games.

• Assassin's Creed: Unity gets positive review bombs after Notre Dame
• Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order won't have multiplayer or microtransactions.
• Full lineup of Castlevania Anniversary Collection revealed.

• What's your favorite time when a game broke the fourth wall?

• Dennis: The Cycle. Risk of Rain II. The Strange Brigade.
• David: The Strange Brigade. The Division 2.
• Ben: Baba is You. Call of Cthulhu.
• Kole: Baba is You. Satisfactory.
