We get real this week in what may be our most heartfelt main topic yet - asking if video games hit harder since becoming parents. Is it being more in touch with our emotions or simple sleep deprivation?
We also give final scores on Donkey Kong Bananza and Death Stranding 2, before catching up on how summertime has been the scourge of our efforts in the Year of the Log!
Also, on this week’s Pixel Picks Showdown, we finally go large as we crown the best Open World Game!
