WGG is BACK and what a week! Andrea and Britt catch up about what they did on hiatus before jumping into the PlayStation State of Play highlights. In Headlines they chat Palworld's record breaking users for both Steam and Game Pass, Suicide Squad's early access issues, and more. Britt chats her time with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and how much fun she's been having in Palworld. Andrea is a back on her "double d's" - Dreamlight Valley and Destiny 2 of course.

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.
