This week, the guys are talking about the Platinum Games developed Nintendo Switch exclusive, Astral Chain. Is it the pinnacle of Platinum's work, or is the fact that the game is bound to the Nintendo Switch holding it back from what it could be? A special thanks to DPTBassment for picking this game for the guys to play!

Last week, we talked about the deck-building Roguelike, Slay the Spire. But there were some things about the game that we failed to address that actually relate to our mission as a podcast. So, in this bite sized episode, both of the guys hopped on to talk about the darkness of the aesthetics of the game and to give a word of caution if those types of storytelling elements are a stumbling block for you.

What is a Spire and how do you Slay it? Well, that question will not be answered on this episode, but "Why is Slay the Spire on our Top 100 Games list?" Yes, that question will be addressed.
