The busy season has begun, but aside from a bunch of games coming out there has also been some big news in the industry. The launch and subsequent shutdown of Concord, SAG-AFTRA strike updates, and of course some more bizarre Xbox news. On this episode the guys discuss all of that and more, they review Star Wars Outlaws, and Matt shares his early impressions on Astro Bot and a preview of The Plucky Squire. We hope you enjoy the show!
An impressive first attempt at an open world Star Wars game. Huge worlds, epic space battles, and a refreshing take on the Star Wars universe with a focus on the criminal underworld. Unfortunately the game is let down by a lack of polish in some places and some bizarre difficulty spikes in stealth missions. Definitely one to watch for fans of both Star Wars and open-world games.
