  • FNGC Reviews: Ghost of Yotei (ft. Dave Jackson of Tales from the Backlog)
    Jan 9 2026

    The Yotei Three are here to give you a full deep dive review of the latest Sucker Punch title: Ghost of Yotei. Following up approx. 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima we follow Atsu on a mission of revenge and spirit! This title was fantastic and we have lots of thoughts on how this game hit us. Too many birds? Too few wolves? Take some time with us this Friday to figure out what makes this game sing!

    You still love Pokémon. We still love Pokémon. And by golly, the Pokémon company and Game Freak are committed to providing you with as much Pokémon as you can stomach! This week I'm joined by a NEW friend of the show Jordan from Cognitive Clips to discuss the most recent Pokemon spin off title, "Legends Z-A!" This entry has us returning to the Kalos region from the Gen 5 Pokemon X / Y games but this time we're running around with our poke-pals in Lumiose City! I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, there's a lot in this game that made me grab my head but plenty that we both agreed was pretty cool to have!. So go ahead and check this out and let us know what you thought about our first Pokemon review ever!
