Episode notes
The episode opens with impressions and recommendations for recent games. Carla discusses completing Metaphor: ReFantazio 100% and mentions Innsmouth 22, a visual novel set in Lovecraft’s universe whose art was generated with AI. Sandro shares very positive first impressions of Batman Arkham Shadow, highlighting its physical virtual-reality combat, stealth, puzzles, and movement options.
The main analysis focuses on Alan Wake 2: The Lake House.

The final stretch is devoted to No More Room In Hell 2: they explain its cooperative zombie extraction concept, progression, character permadeath, early-access issues, and potential for improvement. They close with the open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds.
