Episode 97 - Dispatch

Matthew and Christina devoured Control Resonant. It's a wonderfully trippy dive back into the Control universe with the normal Remedy weirdness. Even if you didn't play the first game (and you really should), you can dive into this one and enjoy every second of it.

Matthew made Christina play the indie Creature Kitchen, which is the epitome of a cozy game that looks like it would scare the pants off of you back in 2001, but it truly is the epitome of a cozy game. The creatures are just weird enough to be off-putting and still cute, and the kitchen has a mystical oven. This game is absolutely worth your time.

Matthew played through Mouse: P.I. For Hire and Christina enjoyed all the fantastic animation, the soundtrack, and Troy Baker's gruff Brooklyn cop voice. This really is a solid boomer shooter, despite what IGN might say.

It's another retro throwback episode! Matthew played through Resident Evil Zero and he and Christina reveled in the early 2000s nostalgia and voice acting. This prequel game has its faults, but this was definitely a fun and quick throwback to play.

It's a retro throwback episode! Christina played the original Luigi's Mansion through Nintendo Switch Online. This one was a launch title for the GamCube and a game Matthew has never seen before. Christina played  it when it first came out but didn't remember much. It's a cute (and short) throwback game that only has Mario in it for a minute and a half.

Matthew played through Resident Evil Requiem with all the lights on, roundhouse kicking his way through as Leon Kennedy and hiding from everything as Grace Ashcroft. Christina watched and enjoyed the visceral chainsaw action and all of the roundhouse kicks.

It's episode 100! We didn't notice it until the very end, so stick around for a polite thank you from us. In the meantime, Christina played through the fun, tempo-based Hi-Fi Rush and had a fun time. Matthew sat back and watched.

After five years, Matthew finally did it: He beat Cyberpunk 2077 and even played through the Phantom Liberty DLC. We talk about how and why it took us five years to make it to the end, how much the game has improved, and how enjoyable the DLC is.

It's our year-end roundup! We talk through the games we played throughout this year (one of our slower years for gaming), touch on this year's Game Awards and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's total domination, and what we're looking forward to in future game releases.

Matthew and Christina are back after a mini hiatus, playing AdHoc Studios' Dispatch. This is seriously one of the best superhero things to have come out in recent years and we played the heck out of all eight episodes.
