About the episode

Our cup runneth over with role-playing games, so Ben and Matt James party up to tag-team two new titans of the genre. After opening banter about Nintendo Switch 2 preorders and Grand Theft Auto VI timing, they profess their love (in spoiler-free fashion) for the new hit RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and explain why the debut game gives them hope for the industry. Then they share their impressions of the recently released RPG behemoth The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and discuss the difference between remasters and remakes and the proper approach to modernizing old games.
