It’s officially silly season, and this week we’re taking a beat to ask: What really drives your next game to play?
Is it FOMO? A glowing recommendation? The algorithm? Social pressure? Or just… vibes?
We’ve all got limited time and more games than ever — so how do we actually make that next pick? This week’s main topic is personal, chaotic, and maybe a bit too relatable.
We’re also reacting to the 007: State of Play Special, sharing our impressions of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, giving verdicts on Metal Gear Solid Delta and Gears Reloaded, and checking in on how we’re faring in the middle of the flood.
Plus: Silksong FOMO, review code chaos, and in this week’s Pixel Picks Showdown, we’re naming the Best Spy Game ever.
