416: Avowed, Citizen Sleeper 2 and Underward

We have a few reviews this week, a reaction to some recent news and a look at the upcoming PlayStation games straight out of the State of Play.

We review Avowed, the new game from Obsidian, the makers of Pillars of Eternity and The Outer Worlds. Some of us don't like it and some of us do so find out which one you agree with based on our discussion. We also review Citizen Sleeper 2. It's the indie dice-based game with an incredible story and immersive characters. Finally, we dig into Underward. It's a new co-op game with inspiration from Lethal Company. It's spooky and a ton of fun.

Greg Miller shared some colorful language during the Dice Awards. Is gaming getting too political? Finally, watch us talk about our favorite games from the State of Play which gives us a look at the future of PlayStation!
