Britt joins Andrea to chat about the new Nintendo Indie World Showcase, Take-Two's layoffs, and why everyone is suddenly obsessed with playing Fallout games. (I think you know why...) Britt got a special sneak peek at the upcoming Kingdom Come Deliverance sequel and it sounds like it's a medieval RPG extravaganza.

This week the ladies are swooning over Insomniac Games and the incredible game of Spider-Man 2, arguably the best showpiece for the PlayStation 5. But is this game for those who aren't necessarily Spider-Man fans? Microsoft has FINALLY bought Activision Blizzard and Starfield was the best selling game of September. And, of course, Britt finds a way to talk about Like a Dragon.

This week the ladies are deep diving into Andrea's thoughts on Assassin's Creed Mirage! While it's true Mirage is "returning to its roots" Andrea has some conflicting thoughts about the execution, despite overall enjoying the title. Britt has been delving into The Abyss in Silent Hope and gives her recommendation on whether or not you should check out this charming lil' game.
