Astro Bot, Age of Mythology & Ghost of Yotei

In this episode, we review Sony’s answer to Mario with their cute Astro Bot game made by Team ASOBI. This game is brilliant in so many ways and we talk about the innovative gameplay mechanics, the gorgeous graphics and the fun surprises celebrating Playstation’s history. We also review Age of Mythology Retold available on Xbox Game Pass. This game released in 2002 and has been remastered for PC’s. It was a successor to Age of Empires and was a ton of fun back then, does it hold up? Lastly, Brett continues the train of reviews with Monster Train now out on Apple Arcade. This originally released in 2020 but has been released in a mobile form on Apple Arcade and it’s still a ton of fun today!

Ubisoft has had a lot of issues as of late with Star Wars Outlaws seeing poor reception at launch and Assassin’s Creed Shadows delayed to February. Also did you know Skull and Bones came out this year? We forgot too. We talk about what could be plaguing the teams and how they can redeem themselves if at all.

Sony has finally unveiled Ghost of Yotei by Sucker Punch. This is the follow up to Ghost of Tsushima and although we’re a little bummed we won’t see a Jin continuation, this game looks incredible already and will be the first built from the ground up for PS5. We also talk about the other surprises from the State of Play.

Finally, EA and DICE have revealed early concept art of the next Battlefield game. Releasing in a beta form next year, it’s going back to its roots and we’re incredibly hyped for this potential new direction. It sounds a lot like Battlefield 4 and if that’s the case, count us in!
