This episode was recorded before Microsoft was identified as a primary BDS target.
Ninja Gaiden
First, Ninja Gaiden was an arcade game, and then a series of NES game. But the main iteration we’re talking about in this episode is the 2004 reboot. Take on the role of Ryu Hayabusa, ninja man on a mission, and tackle the brutal difficulty of the combat while pulling off cool combos.
Avowed
Avowed is a 2025 RPG from Obsidian, set in the same universe as their Pillars of Eternity games. Build your character and freely explore the world while picking up companions and making big decisions. It’s a surprisingly reasonable length and size for this sort of game, which may be a good or a bad thing depending on your view.
