Dead Space Remake, Pokemon Unite Impressions

EA Play Live 2021 brought several reveals including the rumoured Dead Space remake, and we discuss all the news on this week’s show. We’ve also been playing Pokemon Unite since last week’s attempt to explain the game and think it’s pretty good.

This week we also discuss the Activision/Blizzard report and discuss the studio’s alleged abuse and power structure that sounds like it’s a “frat house.”

Dylan has also reviewed Death’s Door and after months of hoping it’ll be one of the years best games, he’s happy to report it is his GOTY currently.
