Hey everyone, in this episode of TC, the guys are choosing 5 games each that they would gladly play forever should the worst/best thing ever happen to them - they get marooned on a desert island. For an extra twist, only ONE of these games is playable online. In other news, Joe gets back on the Metacritic critiquing, and Matt kind of does nothing. He is, however, retrospectively annoyed by at least 2 of his choices. Thanks very much for listening, please share with your friends!

Fear not, Matt still makes an appearance to do the news with Joe at the start of the podcast. There wasn't much in the news this week so the two went off on a fair few tangents, as per usual.

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 11, 2019 71:35


Hey everyone, in this week's Top Chat, the guys discuss the 'controversy' surrounding Sekiro Shadows Die Twice having an Easy mode is actually controversial or not, by exploring video game difficulty as a whole and whether or not it is relevant in modern gaming.
