Matt & Lucas are back after skipping podcasting duties in October due to AFL related reasons. That is all done and dusted now so they are back in front of the microphone just in time for the final lead up to the next gen console launches. On this episode Matt rants about CD Projekt Red and Cyberpunk 2077 and then the guys catch up on all of the gaming news from the past month, before sharing their thoughts on Ride 4, Star Wars Squadrons, and Watch Dogs Legion. We are glad to be back and we hope you enjoy the show 😀

The much anticipated "play as anyone" gameplay mechanic of Watch Dogs Legion didn't end up living up to expectations in this sequel which fails to really innovate in any meaningful way in the franchise series. Still fun and packed full of stuff to do but in the end it feels a bit hollow and meaningless.
A really great Star Wars dogfighting game with really robust flight controls which makes the game a real pleasure to play. Squadrons is a phenomenal game to play in VR as well, however the game overall is let down by a weak narrative and some odd gameplay choices outside of the actual spaceship flying.
