All-Time Favorites - Part 2

A dragon that looks like Macho Man Randy Savage, terrorizing Arkham City as Batman and searching for the center of the universe. Join us for the second installment of our all-time favorite video game lists.

In this episode, we each present (2) more games from our all-time favorites lists. Joseph travels to the island of Tsushima and remembers the stunning graphics, epic music, and excellent combat system of Ghost of Tsushima. Willie picks Batman: Arkham City and reminds us of how good it felt to lurk in the shadows of Arkham City and how the game popularized the freeflow combat system. Taylor talks about the freedom of choice and exploration in No Man Sky and highlights the development effort behind the game. We also chat about the photo mode and lore of Control, countless hours of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim gameplay and dragon mods, and the general ridiculousness of the poundmates in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
