SG 181 | Valoramos SPACE MARINE 2 + Impresiones de ASTRO BOT y beta de COD 6 + Fracasos de 2024
Episode notes
The show opens with impressions of Astro Bot, praised for its variety, its tributes to characters and video games, and its use of the DualSense. They also discuss the most demanding challenges, planned free content, and the excitement its approach conveys. They then try the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer beta: they value its pace, maps, movement, and classic approach, although skill-based matchmaking draws criticism. During this segment, they also mention Elder Scrolls: Castles for Android mobile devices.
The conversation reviews several high-profile failures of 2024. They debate whether Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 belongs in that category because of its Game Pass launch, and point to commercial or design issues in Foamstars, Alone in the Dark, Skull and Bones, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Concord.
The main segment is devoted to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. They highlight its standalone campaign, shooting and melee combat, cooperative operations, PvP, customization, and setting. The final assessment is very positive, with reservations about some multiplayer matchmaking issues. They close by recalling the anniversary of Sega Dreamcast and announcing a future full review of Astro Bot.
