from Grumpy Old Gamer

Season 2 starts with a challenge. Each host picks two games under £10 for the others to play. We'll revisit these choices in the season finale to see how wrong everyone was.Ian recommends Far Cry 5 to Tim for its co-op chaos and rural Montana cult-shooting. Tim throws Tekken 7 at Al as a callback to our arcade episode and a test of whether RTS players can handle fighting games. Al drops Warhammer 40K Boltgun on Ian as an entry point to the setting before episode 5's planned 40K deep-dive. Ian counters with Remnant 2, a souls-like co-op shooter he claims isn't that hard. Tim unleashes Stellaris on Ian, which Al warns could consume months of his life. Al finishes with Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 for Tim, full cathedral-sized battleships and enough lore to drown in.Games covered:Far Cry 5 (Ian → Tim)Tekken 7 (Tim → Al)Warhammer 40K Boltgun (Al → Ian)Remnant 2 (Ian → Al)Stellaris (Tim → Ian)Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 (Al → Tim)https://store.steampowered.com/app/552520/Far_Cry_5/https://store.steampowered.com/app/389730/TEKKEN_7/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2005010/Warhammer_40000_Boltgun/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1282100/REMNANT_II/https://store.steampowered.com/app/281990/Stellaris/https://store.steampowered.com/app/573100/Battlefleet_Gothic_Armada_2/
