This week's episode is a spoiler-free deep dive into epic JRPG Metaphor: ReFantazio, after 40 hours of play.

In the roundup: Stray comes to Switch — but how much of the game made it? Plus Empire of the Ants, The Game Awards '24 nominees, and the arrival of the fantastic and much needed Indie Game Awards: check them out at http://indiegameawards.gg and help amplify what they're doing!
