Big Walk Review - Small Talk

We're not sure how we got here but at this point Big Walk might be one of our Game of The Year for 2026. Doug walks through why this might be not only that but one of his favorite games of all time. *Brad has a new set up and SOMETHING happened about half way through recording. Sorry about the pretty horrible sound quality from his mic!

Having both loved Ace Combat 7 we were excited to see where the series went next with Ace Combat 8 Wings of Theve. It certainly is bigger, but is it the best Ace Combat in the series?

Onimusha is back after 20 years and better than ever with Onimusha Way of the Sword. Capcom continues putting out some of the best games of 2026 with an incredible combat system and some classic charm.

Our Paterons voted for us to check out Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 edition (also know as Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch™ 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World) and Doug talks through all of the new Switch 2 features. Is this worth an upgrade or just a trip to the library? What exactly changed in Star-Crossed World?

We decide to venture into a new legendary JRPG series with Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter. Is this remake of the first game in the Trails series enough to get us into the long running series? We talk through how this seemingly straightforward JRPG is one of the best JRPGs ever and how excited we are for Trails In The Sky 2nd Chapter.

After waiting an eternity for something like Rock Band or Guitar Hero to come back again, Maestro is here to prove it doesn't matter the style of music for these rhythm games. In this new Indie Game you conduct all the great classical music out there from Beethoven to Mozart to Harry Potter. We decide if this is a new future for these style of games.

We check out the Rhythm based minigame collection of Rhythm Heaven Groove. After years of looking at the series Doug finally has a Nintendo system with a Rhythm Heave game on it. So ultimately it comes back to how is this different than WarioWare?

We check out Duskfade the newest indie game to try and recapture some of that PS2 era magic. Does this Jak style platformer with Kingdom Hearts combat really take us back to the early 2000's?

Doug takes it easy and decides to check out the newest Nintendo platformer with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. How is it that a Yoshi game might be the most interesting idea Nintendo has had in years?
