Axe of the Blood God: The Cyberpunk 2077 Review Roundtable

Following an eventful week for podcasts, we’ve got an extra long episode of Axe of the Blood God for you [download link here]!

First up, we break down the Mass Effect reveal, which has News Editor Eric Van Allen terribly excited. We also talk Dragon Age, Hades getting snubbed, and much more. Do we have opinion on The Game Awards? Why yes, we definitely have opinions on The Game Awards.

After that, it’s time to delve into Cyberpunk 2077 with Carolyn Petit and Alex Donaldson, who reviewed the game for Polygon and RPG Site respectively. Together, they talk about the impressive realization of Night City, whether or not it measures up to the legacy of The Witcher 3, and its handling of transgender issues.

Don’t worry! We avoid spoilers in this episode!
