SG 230 | Lost Soul Aside + DLC Indiana Jones + Actualidad
Episode notes
The show opens with first impressions of Borderlands 4 on PC, then moves through current events: Xbox Game Pass arriving on rear vehicle screens, the possible TV adaptation of Life is Strange, and the discussion around Hollow Knight: Silksong's difficulty and price. They also cover the layoffs at the LVP, Movistar KOI's departure from Valorant's official competition, and the possibilities of cloud gaming with GeForce Now Ultimate.
The Nintendo Direct takes up much of the conversation, with Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, Pokémon Pokopia, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, Hades 2, and new Switch 2 versions and content. They then analyse an Indiana Jones expansion: they highlight its puzzles and how it is integrated into the campaign, while questioning its value in relation to length and price.
The main segment is devoted to Lost Soul Aside. They rate its hack-and-slash combat, combos, abilities, and the visual variety of its settings very positively, but point to an underdeveloped story and characters, a linear structure, and presentation shortcomings. They close with a critical discussion about the use of AI in video game dubbing.
