Show Notes

Ben and Matt discuss Matt’s spoiler-free impressions of ‘Avowed,’ the ‘Elden Ring Nightreign’ network test, and news about layoffs and closures affecting ‘Marvel Rivals’ and ‘Wonder Woman’ (10:00). Then Ben looks for love in the latest installments of long-running video game franchises that he’s never previously played—‘Dynasty Warriors,’ ‘Sniper Elite,’ ‘Civilization,’ ‘Like a Dragon,’ and ‘Monster Hunter’—by “speed-dating” each of their newly released sequels and deciding whether the series deserves a second digital date (30:30).
