Dragon Age & Mass Effects Future Looks Shaky

A mammoth amount of reviews to discuss this week. Dylan breaks down his reviews for Sackboy: A Big Adventure, The Pathless, Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition and discusses with Ash their time playing Worms Rumble.

Our main discussion this week is about the recent departures of big people from Bioware, and what this could mean for the future of the studio. We want nothing but great things to come from the upcoming Mass Effect and Dragon Age games after all!

If you stick around until the end of the show you’ll get to hear Dylan talk about playing Fortnite with Ash and how they both suck at the building.
