‘007: First Light’ and ‘Mina the Hollower’ Reactions

Ben, Matt James, and Steve Ahlman earn a license to podcast about two early Game of the Year candidates: 007: First Light and Mina the Hollower. First, in Patch Notes, they discuss the future of Destiny and Bungie after the end of development on the almost decade-old Destiny 2 and what the huge hikes in the price of Valve’s Steam Deck portend for the Steam Machine, the current console generation, and the future of gaming. Then, they share their spoiler-free reviews of First Light, James Bond’s long-awaited return to gaming at the hands of Hitman maker IO Interactive, and the much-anticipated 8-bit homage Mina, from the makers of Shovel Knight.
