  1. Hi guys.
    As always: thank you very much for the episode πŸ™‚

    I am playing not that much at the moment, but some rounds of Magic the Gathering Arena and some rounds of WoW are always there πŸ™‚ I also started playing Itorah, which is a very nice Metroidvania game.

    Regarding your topics:
    Walking Simulators: I really like those games. For me games like “Life is strange” , “Journey”, “Heavy Rain” or “Detroid become human” were awesome and i played all of them. Most of them have a fantastic atmosphere, good story, awesome music and i did not get bored or it feels repetitive.

    Fifa:
    I cant describe how less i care about that πŸ˜€
    I never played any Fifa since i had one about 20 years ago for the PS1. The best soccer game of all time still is “World Cup” for NES oder GameBoy πŸ™‚

    Starfield:
    It seems that i am the only person who is not hyped for that game … nearly all my friends are waiting for it since it was announced.

    All the other topics:
    Cant say anything useful or interesting about them… sorry πŸ™‚

    Keep healthy and keep on with the good work guys.

    Greetings from germany,
    Ralf

  2. I’m hoping to see Starfield footage at the Microsoft/Bethesda show in June, even if the game is delayed.
