Summary

It's canapé and sparkling wine time here at La Gallerie Bouton, as we unveil our latest episode to audible gasps. This week's theme is visual design, from standout box art to beautiful backgrounds: the Boys don their berets, stroke their chins and pick apart what wows them and what leaves them cold. Elsewhere, Pierre's finally cleaned up his neighbourhood, Sarah's set off on an avian stroll and Glenn's getting to grips with his strengths and weaknesses in what may be his favourite game of the year so far. To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast: Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here⁠ Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore Glenn and Producer Ben - ⁠The Audience VS⁠ ⁠Sarah's Melbourne Show⁠ 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.
