UFO 50 finally released after having been in development for ages, and its one of the most low-key ambitious games I've played. It's extremely cool, as you'll hear me say no less than a dozen times in this mini-episode, and I couldn't wait to share some of my excitement about it. Thanks for listening! -Drew

We appreciate all the support! Just wanted to drop a quick update here to keep you aware of what's going on - you may have noticed that our schedule has fluctuated a little bit, soo we're taking a few weeks to get ahead of schedule. Check back soon, and thanks for bearing with us!

What if we killed some giant hulking beasts, but felt really bad about it? Shadow of the Colossus is an absolute all-timer, one of those lightning-in-a-bottle moments that can never be replaced or replicated. Even as we approach its 20th birthday, it stands as a high watermark for spectacle, atmosphere, and just overall game design. We were feeling a little too negative with our last episode, so we wanted to spend some time heaping praise on an absolute masterpiece.

But wait, there's more! We also catch up on some recent gaming news, including the phenomenal Doom 1 + 2 Nightdive re-release, the early reviews for Black Myth: Wukong (uhh we recorded this before the weird NDA controversy, yikes), and a handful of promising indie releases. Thanks for listening!
