Episode Fifteen - The Callisto Protocol, Telling Lies and God of War: Ragnarök (Late-Game Impressions)
The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast - Episode FifteenThe Callisto Protocol, Telling Lies and God of War: Ragnarök (Late-Game Impressions)
On this episode of The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast, we discuss some of the biggest releases of the season, including one of the most anticipated new games of the year, The Callisto Protocol. As the early reviews have indicated, this is not a perfect game, but Rich has rolled credits and we have a discussion about what this game actually is - and what it’s not. Quick Spoiler: It’s not Dead Space. We also discuss the much lauded FMV title Telling Lies from Sam Barlog, and offer our late-game impressions of God of War: Ragnarök in advance of our final review discussion next year. And as always, we run down the latest releases on Game Pass and PS Plus, discuss what’s new in limited-edition physical media, and cover recent gaming news from around the industry.
