2018/06/19

This week we jump into the new game from Hi-Rez Studios, Realm Royale. This is their take on the Battle Royale genre complete with abilities, forges, mounts and more. It’s an interesting take on the genre and pretty solid for an alpha! We also play Hollow Knight now that it’s on the Switch. It’s a very charming game although very challenging.

This week Brett gets his hands on the new parody of Battle Royale: Totally Accurate Battlegrounds. From the makers of Clustertruck and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, comes a game that makes fun of the battle royale genre while being a bit fun to play. It's full of crazy physics mayhem, muscle cars and all kinds of wild weapons to explore. It's buggy and it's early access but it's well worth the $4.99 to try it out. We also have our news discussion with some pre-E3 reveals from Sony, Valve now

We experience what life would be like if androids become more human to the point where they’re nearly indistinguishable. What would our lives be like? How would react in certain situations?

The news this week has some sad moments with a few crucial members of the gaming industry passing away and the PS4 nearing the end of its life cycle. On a good note, Fortnite gets $100
