The Gamers with Glasses Show: Episode 9: Sexy Robots, Time Loops, and Console Blues

In Gamers with Glasses Episode 9, we discuss the trend of time loops in recent games (Loop Hero, Deathloop), the sexy robots of Yoko Taro (Nier: Automata), the neoliberal hellscape of subscription services (or is it a new golden age?), what happens when an indie-loving PC gamer gets a Switch (thanks, Biden!), surreal point-and-click adventures (Genesis Noir), how Control plays on new consoles, Jason Schreier’s new book Press Reset (coming out in May) and the difficulties of being a game developer, and much more! Games discussed include Nier: Automata, Control, Loop Hero, Last of Us Part 2, Genesis Noir, Super Mario Maker 2, Beyond Good and Evil HD, and more.
