Play This! is doing another LISTENER SUGGESTION EPISODE!
This time, we are accepting suggestions for any video game that has had it's FIRST FULL RELEASE in 2018. "First" means that if the full version came out for one platform in 2018 but was available on another platform earlier (like Hollow Knight or PUBG), it is ineligible. "Full" means it has to be at least the 1.0 version of the game. Early Access titles (like Slay the Spire), games currently in beta (like Magic the Gathering: Arena), demos of upcoming full games (like Deltarune), and episodic games that have not released their final episode (like Life is Strange 2) are ineligible. Ports and basic remasters of existing games are ineligible (like Shenmue 1 + 2), full remakes are eligible. Other than that, any 2018 release we haven't already played is fair game.
The list of games we've played is below, with timestamps for when in the episode we discuss it. The deadline for submissions is Fiday, January 11th. Send your submissions as either a tweet to @playthispodcast, or as an email to [email protected]!
(This episode was recorded December 3, 2018, and we have since played Smash Bros Ultimate. A lot. So no need to recommend it!)
