A bunch of folks liked Stellar Blade more than us/Plante, so here are their reviews! This line from the Polygon review stands out: ‘Stellar Blade is one of the rare games that I feel more positively toward now I’ve finished it than I did halfway through.”

Hey guys, good episode -- and I guess I understand why y'all don't feel comfortable doing best romanceable character topic, but at the same time, just remember that the subscribers who are going to hear the episode are the ones who voted for that topic, and if we didn't want to hear you guys talk about it/do the bracket.... then we wouldn't have voted it as the #1 choice lmao
