The Game Deflators E358 | Silksong Backlash & Switch 2 Dev Kit Snub
This week, John and Ryan kick things off with some fresh gaming pickups. John dives into his full playthrough of Neva, sharing thoughts on its emotional beats and visual storytelling, and gives a first-timer’s take on Beyblade Episode 1—no nostalgia goggles, just curiosity about the hype. Ryan’s been hands-on with Hollow Knight: Silksong, and while the gameplay hits hard, the guys unpack the early reviews and why some folks aren’t loving it. Is it fair criticism or just the internet doing its thing? They also recap their latest Dungeons & Dragons: Strixhaven session, where magical mayhem and academic drama collide. Expect spell-slinging, questionable decisions, and a few surprises from the party. In the news, the Switch 2 dev kit rollout is raising eyebrows—some developers still haven’t received theirs. John and Ryan speculate on what that means for Nintendo’s next-gen plans. And to wrap things up, it’s time for a retro review: Streets of Rage on the Sega Genesis. Does the classic brawler still hold up, or is it just pixelated nostalgia?
