SG 187 | Valoramos Dragon Ball Sparking Zero + Metaphor ReFantazio + Noticias
Episode notes
The episode opens with Nintendo Alarmo being presented instead of the expected Switch 2 news, then reviews a week marked by layoffs and cancellations in the industry. It also discusses the leadership change at Xbox Game Studios, the withdrawal of the Game Pass promotion ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the efficiency improvements in the new digital Xbox Series X consoles, and the sales of Silent Hill 2 Remake. The news section continues with PlayStation The Concert World Tour, Analogue 3D, Dino Crisis, Arma 4, Astro Bot, and several releases.
The main analysis of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero covers its return to the Tenkaichi formula, its characters, modes, alternative What If routes, stage destruction, and multiplayer, which prioritizes differences between fighters over competitive balance. They also assess its languages, separately sold music, and value for content and price.
The second review focuses on Metaphor ReFantazio: its fantasy setting, social critique, time management, companions, classes, and turn-based combat. They highlight its story, art, and soundtrack, while noting technical issues, an excessively long dungeon, and cosmetic DLC they do not recommend. The program recommends both games to their respective audiences.
