316: Yakuza Like a Dragon, The Oregon Trail and What's Next for Co-Op Games

Brett dives deeper into Yakuza Like a Dragon. He's having a good time despite the majority of it being cutscenes. We also play the new DLC for Vermintide called Chaos Wastes and play the Apple Arcade game The Oregon Trail.

In the news, Warzone has a new map, Sony reverts their decision to get rid of PS Vita and PS3 storefronts and we discuss the potential of a Video Pass for PS Plus subscribers. Overwatch Director Jeff Kaplan is leaving and Discord is no longer being bought out.

Our discussion revolves around co-op games. We look at recent games like Avenger's, Outriders and more and look towards what they can do in the future to make us enjoy them more. We want more balancing with characters, better support for more players and ways to engage players in the story more. 

Check out video clips of our news every week over on YouTube.
