- Metaphor Re Fantazio

Before wrapping up, the Ubisoft Forward receives the same treatment. Did the likes of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, The Crew Motorfest, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, manage to satisfy the team? How excited are they for Skull and Bones? Will they be bingeing Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix upon its release?

So, be sure to tune in and give it a listen.
This week's episode sees Gareth, James, Paul and William get together as they kick things off with a quick catch-up. From fishing and working hard, to witnessing the end of great TV shows like Barry and Succession, it’s a real mixture. But then attention turns to games, games, and more games.
The quartet have been spending their free time playing a variety of games lately and share their honest opinions on them. Expect to get insight on the excellent The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, humorous point-and-click adventure Lucy Dreaming, the abstract world of After Us, hardcore drifting courtesy of DRIFTCE, the appalling Boss Rush Mythology, unorthodox fighting in Verdict Guilty, and 2D side-scrolling action of Eastern Exorcist.
