When Season of Discovery was announced during BlizzCon 2023, it was introduced as the next season of content for World of Warcraft Classic following Season of Mastery but with a twist on player abilities, a staggered level-capped phase rollout, and new in-game activities.

Somehow we’re on yet another Monday, friends.

Cory asked me to tackle the queue today so here I am! Since I wanted to spend my last Queue championing Ila I didn’t have a chance to discuss Metaphor: ReFantazio like I originally wanted to. So now I am!

In short, I really enjoyed the game. While “fantasy Persona” could’ve been a simple skin job of the popular franchise they really made an effort to build Metaphor as a new IP and it shows. The hybrid combat system is fluid, the Archetype system was involved and clever (but not overwhelming) and the story while odd on the surface was still compelling and ended in a satisfying manner. It wasn’t a perfect game, mind you — a couple sections felt cut or rushed — but I still feel like Atlus knocked it out of the park and hopefully we’ll get future titles set in the same timeframe.

Plus Gallica was super adorbs.

So while I figure out what game to play next, let’s answer some questions Cory-style!

The War Within patch 11.1 has been out almost a week now and if you're like me you've spent a lot of time these past few days in the Goblin city of Undermine.

While I know we're all in on Blizzard Entertainment around here, when Steam Next Fest started I once again went feral.

This week every major gaming studio stayed out of the way of Capcom, who put out the much awaited Monster Hunter: Wilds.

I will not be taking further questions at this time.

Er… except I will be taking further questions. It is the Queue, after all. But no more questions about GOTY, because as I’ve said, it’s already locked.

The podcast centered on a lot of fun new stuff that just hit WoW with patch 11.1 and Undermine.

This February marks the second year of the World of Warcraft Trading Post and to celebrate, a majority of the items sold in previous month's Trading Posts have returned!

None of us have as much time as we would like, when we do get time to have downtime and play games, most of us do it to relax and have fun.
