This week’s The Weekend Video Game Warrior dives into what the Gamerheads crew is playing—from Hades II and Ghosts of Yotei to FFXIV and Borderlands 4. Plus, we celebrate the release of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles and 40 years of Mario!

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is the definitive edition of a classic. I would even go so far as to call it the gold standard for strategy RPGs. The story is riveting, the voice acting superb, the artwork stunning, and the job system lets me create virtually any type of character I want.

Welcome to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast! This week, we welcome our friend and PAX West roommate Jacob McCourt (Crossplay Conversations, Video Game Trivia) to talk Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles!

Simplistic in nature, Splatterbot is super easy to pick up. It is primarily a party-style game meant to be played in a small group, but you can play solo if that is something that intrigues you more. While some of the maps were a little more chaotic and caused a bit more randomness, I quite enjoyed the challenge. If you are a fan of party-style games, consider adding Splatterbot to your list for your next party or group get together.

The Gamerheads bring to the table their gaming lineups for this weekend! Let's take a peek!

The Gioteck WX5 wireless controller is one of the best I’ve used, and easily the best option I’ve tried for my Switch 2. With its mappable back buttons, motion controls, and Hall effect technology, it feels like a solid investment. Even better, it works with the Switch 2 right out of the box. If you’re looking for a reliable controller that delivers quality without the high price tag, consider picking up the Gioteck WX5 controller.

Influenced by tabletop games and visual novels, Aether & Iron is a narrative RPG that caught our attention at PAX West. While it’s still a work in progress, the voice-acted sections we played were impressively done. It quickly became one of the titles we're most looking forward to.

This week on The Gamerheads Podcast, Roger, Zeb, Jake, and President and CEO Phil dive deep into the buzz around Borderlands 4. Roger shares his first impressions from PAX West and talks about the differences between playing on Xbox and the Switch 2, while Phil defends the franchise as a longtime fan. The crew debates Randy Pitchford’s fiery responses to criticism, the challenges of PC optimization, and whether the conversation is overshadowing the actual quality of the game.

I enjoyed my time with Death on the Nile. Both Poirot and Royce’s stories were engaging, though I would have preferred to see them as two separate games rather than alternating each chapter. Interacting with suspects and having the game fully voiced was an unexpected surprise. The mind-map feature and drawing conclusions made me feel like a true detective, and it was a fun and unique way to gamify the deduction process.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a welcome addition to the rogue-like family, mixing amazing fluid animations and satisfying combat. It provides an enjoyable progression without the feeling of having to start over every time I would die. I am excited to continue playing this game and finding all the secrets and ability combinations that come with each run.

Discover why Rogue Labyrinth is one of the most accessible roguelikes around. With creative boss battles, bullet-hell combat, and a narrative that keeps you hooked, it’s a hidden gem for both newcomers and genre veterans.

Who knew so much personality could come from small, simple shapes? That’s exactly what I experienced in Is This Seat Taken?, a cozy puzzle game from Poti Poti Studio. It’s a perfect game for anyone looking to take a break from a busy day or simply find something that will make them smile.
