The pod squad chat about some of the most overlooked and underappreciated games of this year. Katharine thinks head-in-a-sack sim Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice might qualify, while Adam praises the unsettling tales of Stories Untold. Brendan just wants more people to slap in skinny biffing game Absolver.

We've also been playing the magical realist family chronicle What Remains of Edith Finch and naval tactical battler Mare Nostrvm.
