Episode notes

You play, this is important. You play as a character in the game named Hunter. The Hunter has been resurrected and has been like dormant for 300 years or whatever. He's trying to stop Lilith with the help of these other superheroes who have like loosely formed into a group called the Midnight Suns. That sounds like the early X-Men movies. No, it's darker than that. It feels like 90s comics. Yeah,. Like a little grittier, I guess. But not taking itself super seriously, you know what I mean?

Marvel's Midnight Suns is a tactics game from XCOM developer Firaxis, only instead of shooting aliens a hundred times from behind cover, you play cards to beat ass with your best friend, Blade. This is, objectively, a very good idea, but how well does the rest of the game hold up? Also, what's on our backlog as we approach the GOTY proceedings?

Also discussed: Dave the Diver, Pentiment, What the Bat, Binding of Isaac, Andor, Soccer Story, Peglin, Tiny Rogues
