53. Too Many Slices in the Pie Chart

Pixel Noise

Summary

Dan’s been playing a lot of games recently! Tony and Dan played Deathloop, and had a lot to say about how it compared to Returnal and other roguelikes. Pixel Noise has a new stream !gamelist, which starts a conversation about what we find rewarding in games, collectibles, corner checking, and of course, genres. Tony thinks Pokémon is a weird RPG, Alex played Super Mario RPG, and Dan played Overcooked. Everyone’s played Life is Strange: True Colors, Alex reveals what he’s secretly been doing while recording the podcast, and we listened to INSIDE (The Songs).
