The Weekly Stuff #454 - Video Games Galore! Reviewing God of War Ragnarok, Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, and Sonic Frontiers

<p>It’s our final podcast of 2022 before we take a little hiatus to work on other projects, and it’s a supersized episode featuring three video game reviews for the price of one! First up is <i>Sonic Frontiers, </i>Sega’s new 3D Sonic game combining open-world exploration, collect-a-thon objectives, and linear platform levels, a weird but compelling package that may well be the best 3D game the blue hedgehog has ever enjoyed. Next is <i>Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, </i>the technically troubled but creatively superb 9th generation of <i>Pokémon </i>adventures, which Jonathan can’t stop playing despite the presentational flaws. And finally, we go deep with <i>God of War Ragnarok, </i>in full spoiler detail, to break down one of the greatest video game sequels ever made and the amazingly moving story it tells. </p><p>Enjoy, and we will see you all in January for a new year of <i>The Weekly Stuff, </i>and in February for Season 2 of <i>Japanimation Station – Ufotable/Moon Works</i>! </p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p><strong>Intro</strong>: 0:00:00 – 0:11:20</p><p><strong>Sonic Frontiers: </strong>0:11:20 – 0:43:10</p><p><strong>Pokémon Scarlet/Violet: </strong>0:43:10 – 1:23:06</p><p><strong>God of War Ragnarok: </strong>1:23:06 – 3:14:46</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBqje0qmCVn0WkCXJzckaA"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/japanimation-station-an-anime-podcast-with-jonathan/id1477001961"><strong>Subscribe to Japanimation</strong></a><strong> Station, our Anime Podcast!</strong></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p>
