Adrian Dzhang, who I think everybody here will know from Hidden Folks, Waldo, Black and White Game. He has a new game coming out called Secret Shuffle that is like a secret disco where you know everybody puts on headphones and they're hearing music. So the game's built around that activity. But his games are consistently really interesting.
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
