On this week's episode of The Polygon Show, Chelsea discusses the highs and lows of The Outer Wilds — like high-gravity platforming. Then Allegra gives her spoiler-free review of Aggretsuko season 2 (IT'S GREAT!). Next up, Allegra is also hooked on Dr. Mario World, Nintendo's latest mobile game, and Simone is still trapped in Pokémon Go hell. Finally, did you know Veronica Mars is on Hulu now? Chelsea gives us some reasons to watch.

Remembering the Krampus (from The History of Fun)

Simone de Rochefort wasn’t allowed to play violent games growing up, so GoldenEye 007 on the N64 – one of the very first first-person-shooter games – wasn’t exactly her parents’ cup of tea. This week we’ll return to History of Fun’s deep dive on how one of the most popular games of our childhood was developed.
