Summary
The Button Boys are back to defy all expectations, turn everything on its head and redefine everything you hold dear. Or talk about games they thought they didn't like and now they do, whichever's easiest. This week on the gaming road to Damascus it's all about U-turns. Pierre has done an about-face on story games, Sarah's done a 180 on wacky gunslingers and Glenn's completely Lego of his prejudices with the blocky franchise. But first, the Boys catch up with what they've been playing. Sarah's immediately broken the rules from last week's podcast, Pierre's embraced it with both hands and Glenn's got a sneak peek at a sequel of one of his all-time favourites. If you're interested in what the Boys are up to, below are some links to find out more: Pierre - You Sit There, I'll Stand Here If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to Patreon, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and our Hitman: World of Assassination playthrough, and Player 4, where we interview a different comedian every month about their gaming lives.
