The Weekly Stuff #280 – Yoshi’s Crafted World & Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Reviews

This week, we review Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Yoshi’s Crafted World, two games that couldn’t seem more different, but weirdly wind up teaching a lot of the same lessons in how to create a quality video game. Before that, we also kick back and talk about some Stuff – like Jonathan’s first time playing the cult classic Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, or trying to explain the plot of Season 3 of The Flash to Sean – and hit some recent news items, like the passing of the great Agnes Varda, rumors about Nintendo’s new Switch hardware offerings, and the single strangest streaming video announcement we’ve ever heard (that last one, from 1:26:25 to 1:35:21, is one you definitely won’t want to miss).

Time Chart:

Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:10:32

Stuff: 0:10:32 – 0:55:55

News: 0:55:55 – 1:35:21

Yoshi & Sekiro: 1:35:21 – 2:34:30
