214: Sekiro, Orwell and Where Bioware Went Wrong
We dive into Sekiro Shadows Die Twice and see if the challenge surpasses that of the Souls games. We also blast in the past to a game from 2018 called Orwell: Ignorance is Strength. Borderlands 3 now has a release date, April Fool's had some silly reveals and we talk about the Kotaku article about Bioware and what went wrong.

Show Notes
We have a special guest return to the podcast this week! He joins us to talk about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice so we can determine how it compares to the Souls series. Brett also plays Orwell: Ignorance is Strength, a game from 2018 where you play as big brother amidst a world of unrest.
In the news, Borderlands 3 has a release date and is a 6 month Epic Games Store exclusive. Gamestop reports a lot of losses yet again and Square Enix is threatened in Japan. April Fools Day came and went and had a ton of reveals about funny new technology and updates that are hilariously accurate.
Our discussion revolves around the Kotaku article from Jason Schreier about what went wrong with Bioware. We share our opinions on the Anthem launch debacle, the leadership struggles and the problematic game engine for an RPG. You can read the full article on Kotaku.
