Death Stranding 2, Rematch and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

We have a great episode this week featuring our first look at Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2. We dive into this beautiful world and explore the early hours of the strand game.

Brett dives into Sloclap’s Rematch. These are the developers of Sifu entering into the competitive scene with a soccer game. It’s a paid title with some solid mechanics, but is it enough to keep us engaged?

We also review Thronefall on the Steam Deck. It just released on mobile devices, but this game originally released in 2024 and is an RTS/tower defense mix. It has a beautiful art style, great progression and a simple but complex loop that keeps you coming back for more.

Sony brought a big update with the upcoming Ghost of Yotei from Sucker Punch. This is the follow up to Ghost of Tsushima and we want to know if Ghost of Yotei can outshine Tsushima? There’s a ton of new features coming to this game and a whole new set of ways to uncover the world and we’re excited to get our hands on it in October.

Lastly, Brett rolled credits in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and it may be one of his favorite games of all time. This game has it all. A fantastic score, brilliant combat, an incredibly beautiful world and the most genuine team that crafted a masterpiece with an ending you won’t forget. This game can’t be missed!
