EP 73 - State of Play & Stellar Blade (Spoiler Free Review)

This week the gang hop in their jalopy to talk about the Sony State of Play before kicking into a spoiler free review of Stellar Blade. We highlight our favorite games from the showcase, talk about an old addiction of Beth's coming to light again - then during the spoiler free Stellar Blade review we discuss gameplay mechanics, environments, and characters (while Gerry has several epiphanies).
