Show Notes
In this episode of our weekly gaming podcast, Game Informer's Kyle Hilliard reviews God of War: Sons of Sparta, a new 2D metroidvania that Mega Cat Studios and Sony Santa Monica released during last week's PlayStation State of Play. Unfortunately, it's an underwhelming title. Kyle then explains why he spent $99 USD on Nintendo's Virtual Boy rerelease and what it's like experiencing the headset's strange catalog of games on the Switch 2.
Later in the show, Eric Van Allen dives into Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse, a mystery adventure about a cursed Japanese seaside town that has impressed him. Finally, Alex Van Aken shares his thoughts on the rock-climbing simulator Cairn and how it's an excellent example of how games can uniquely tell stories.
