Episode notes

It's still weird when like some idiot five feet away from Captain Marvel is like, hey, I'm going to kill you and country where I was like, okay, I guess. And then shoots Captain Marvel and knocks her out. It's a little wild, but you got to have stakes. The story itself is unintelligible. They easily could have just sort of farted out a copy of paste of Xcom with Marvel characters and they did not do that. Um, we've got more games to talk about. You don't need to panic. Just hang on. We'll be right back.

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
