Episode notes

The program opens with the participants’ recently played games, including Call of Duty, The Stanley Parable and Space Marine 2, before focusing on The Stanley Parable’s metanarrative premise and humour. In the news segment, they discuss expectations for GTA VI on Xbox Series S, Warner Bros. Games’ strategy after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Tequila Works’ insolvency, and criticism of the Ricochet anti-cheat system in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. They also raise concerns about automatic AI moderation.

Phil Spencer’s interview anchors another section: they analyse Xbox handheld prototypes, the possible arrival of Xbox games on other platforms, Windows’ role in a handheld machine, and save continuity through Xbox Play Anywhere.

The main section is devoted to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. They cover its story, character creation, classes, combat, Steam Deck performance, inventory, exploration, quests and length. They especially value its combat, lore, story, graphics and lighting, but question the reduced moral ambiguity of some companions and choices. They describe it as a single-player action adventure with RPG elements, recommended if it matches the player’s expectations.
