Returnal Is A Must-Play PS5 Exclusive

The first big PS5 release for 2021 is Returnal and it’s certainly something special. Dylan discusses his time with the game and his journey for the Platinum trophy. Spoilers: he really likes this one. That isn’t to say the game isn’t without some controversy with the game featuring no save feature leaving a sour taste in many mouths.

Also on the show this week Dylan and Ashley go over last week’s State of Play and that beautiful Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart gameplay. There are also some interesting tidbits coming out of the Epic vs Apple case in just its first day in court.
