On this episode, Sean and Marc are joined by Jens Dietrich as he gives his thoughts and impressions of his time with Hogwarts Legacy. Does it live up to the hype brought on by the mammoth franchise? Is it unique for fans of the series? Could non-fans play it as well? Jens answers these questions, and much more.
(* Writer's Note: We are fully aware of the issues brought on by the creator and author of the Harry Potter IP against the LGBTQIA + community, specifically comments that have been made against Trans and Jewish persons. We are vehemently against and DO NOT condone those statements and words by said person. Jens is discussing his playtime with the video game and making judgments based on solely on it being a video game. There is no ill will meant towards ANYONE for merely discussing Hogwarts Legacy. *)
Sean also spent some time with the newly released Sea of Stars Demo and he gives his thoughts on the highly anticipated JRPG inspired by Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI. Plus, Marc has finished Forspoken and gives his final thoughts on the game. Jens also discusses the Third-Person Shooter Evil West as well.
The guys of course also breakdown and discuss their favorite announcements from the recent Nintendo Direct. How shocking is it that Metroid Prime Remaster was shadow-dropped and at $40? Is anyone wowed by the latest trailer for Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and that it will be $70? What about Pikmin 4, Bayonetta Origins, and the other games were shown off?
Also, Nintendo says it is now in uncharted territory with the Switch, could it finally be time for a new system? SEGA goes Neptunia in their new mobile game with Yoko Taro, and much more.
