For those of you who just didn't get enough celebrating over Mother's Day Weekend, we've got something in store for you - an episode all about Mom Games! 150 episodes after our debut episode dealing with Dad Games, we finally come back around to celebrate with the moms. Yeah we missed the timing a bit for Mother's Day, but better late than never.

We start off the episode talking about games we played with our moms or games that our moms like to play. Then we take a break to do a catchup with our video game Fantasy league, followed by a look at all the games with a mom theme we played this month such as Yakuza Infinite Wealth and Detroit: Become Human. We also talk a bit about some games off theme like the excellent Blue Prince. It's a pretty packed episode once again!

If you didn't wish your mom a happy mother's day then you better do it right now. And when you're done, come back and join us, for this episode on Mom Games! And if you want to follow along with our video game fantasy league, come visit at fantasycritic.games and search for our league, The Beats. Enjoy the show!

For our big 150th episode celebration we have...a regular episode. Our 5 year anniversary is coming up so maybe we'll do something special for that. But for this one - we're taking a deep dive into indie darling Outer Wilds!

If you've seen this game mentioned online it usually comes with a word of caution to go in as blind as possible - and we'd agree! For the most part. We start off the conversation with our experience getting into the game, what we wish we had known before we started, and how we would describe it in as spoiler free terms as possible. After that, we shift gears into heavy spoilers talking about most key areas of the game, places where we got stuck, our interpretation of the story, and then blowing the doors off with details about the very end of the journey.

If you're remotely interested in playing this game I would certainly recommend hitting pause once we give the spoiler warning and give it a go! And if you're an Outer Wilds veteran, then I hope you enjoy our stories of fumbling around through space while scratching our heads. So with that, grab you space suit and get ready to explore the unknown, with our deep dive on Outer Wilds!

What is an Open World Game? Is it the ability to play any level in any order? Is it a multitude of missions that you can pick and choose as you wish? Is it based on camera and perspective? The Beat of the Month crew handle this philosophical debate as we cover the Open World Games that we played in the month of August.

We cover some of the biggest Open World Games around such as The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2. We've also got some lesser known games like The Pathless and some smaller Open World Games like Bowser's Fury. As usual, with a crew of 8 we've got something for everyone and a lot of different opinions. So please - join us for the games and stay for the Funyuns!
