Triple a games are becoming more and more rare these days because of how outrageously expensive they are to produce. Suicide squad which just got delayed until 2024 after like a really dismal showing of a gameplay demo is such a huge investment that for your outcome to be even mediocrity let alone bad is a total disaster. "You need to know you're at least hitting some level of good" says the game designer.
From outta nowhere comes one of the weirder titles we've played this year: Mr Sun's Hatbox, a "slapstick roguelike." Joining us to discuss is Steven Spohn, the Senior Director of Development at Able Gamers.
Also on the episode: Dead Island 2, Meet Your Maker, The Strange (Ballingrud), Red Rising (Brown), My Neighbor Totoro, and much more!
