Episode 528: Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Review

After eight long years of waiting, it's finally here: Episode 528 of Filthy Casuals. Did I make a similar joke the other week? I can't remember and I'm too busy to check because I've been sinking a lot of time into Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. Does this long-awaited sequel live up to expectations? Are the NPC companions as annoying as the initial reports would have you believe? Is it fun to drive around the desert on a motorbike? We answer all of these questions as well as chatting about the future of Yacht Club Games and thinking about movies that Hideo Kojima could cameo in. 🌎Get Exclusive NordVPN deal here ↣ https://nordvpn.com/filthy It’s risk- free with Nord’s 30-day money back guarantee! 👍 Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

Episode 524: Hyrule Warriors - Age of Imprisonment, GTA6 Delay

We're dropping this episode ON TIME in order to let you know that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed. What can we possibly do to fill ONE ENTIRE YEAR until it's released? Well, off the top of my head: we could play a bit of Simpsons Fortnite, we could try the demo for Dogpile, we could review the new Tears of the Kingdom prequel Hyrule Warriors - Age of Imprisonment, and then we could record a podcast about all of those things... That should take us 365 days or so, right? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 506: Anger Foot, Xbox Cancellations

It's another rough week of news over at Microsoft with the announcement that a bunch of games have been cancelled and more people laid off. What does this mean for the future of the platform and more broadly - how do you navigate being a fan of an art form that is governed purely by corporate interests and rife with attitudes that are so removed from fun and escapism? As an antidote to all of this harshness, we've been playing and loving the great new (for PS5) indie game Anger Foot!   Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans! Use code FILTHY at checkout.

It's been a long time since we've spent an entire episode talking about one game but it's been a long time since one game has grabbed our attention to such an extent. The new indie puzzle game BLUE PRINCE seemingly came out of nowhere (to us, at least) but man oh man is it good. We're fairly vague in our chat but we do talk about a couple of little details here and there (with a bit of warning when we get to them) so if you want to go in completely fresh, maybe hold off a bit before listening. That said, what we do talk about really only scratches the surface of this game and what makes it so fun, surprising and satisfying. Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!
