| Yongle (feat. Triangle Strategy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown & Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo) | 29 May 2025 | 01:15:20 | |
With the Switch 2 just one week away, Lewis furiously scrambles to get Triangle Strategy off his backlog and Alex plays with something dangly whilst pretending to work (Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo & Desktop Survivors 98). Ben takes us to tactics town with StarVaders and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown; and there’s even time to discuss the hidden gem, American Arcadia.

In The Mimic’s Veil today, watch out Digital Foundry, because Lewis gives us a technical breakdown of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s Steam Deck performance. Alex finds his rhythm in PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY, and gets lost in the hekki good 1000xRESIST. Meanwhile Ben has a sordid confession, and an update on his progress in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
