Topic of the Week:

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Review Discussion

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, the spin-off from the Borderlands series, is a spellbinding hit. Tiny Tina serves as Dungeon Master, guiding players through a hilarious in-game role-playing campaign called Bunkers & Badasses. Our Editor-In-Chief, Andrew Reiner, regales us with wild tales from his time reviewing the tabletop-themed looter shooter.

Read our review to find out why we describe Wonderlands as "upbeat and fun from start to finish."

The Playlist:

Game Informer staff discuss the games they're playing.

This week's playlist is packed. Blake talks about how the visual stylings and lore of Ghostwire: Tokyo's yokai spirits made him love an otherwise run-of-the-mill open-world game. John and Van Aken discuss the whimsy of Kirby And The Forgotten Land and its clever 3D platformer mechanics.

This week’s Listener Questions focus on our favorite regionalisms, childhood gaming routines, and the games that have aged like a fine wine. Read this week’s questions below and submit your own via the Official Game Informer Community Discord or by emailing us at Podcast@GameInformer.com:

“Today, I learned Minnesotans play 'Duck, Duck, Gray Duck' instead of 'Duck, Duck, Goose.' What is your favorite regionalism?” - Shifujiu

“You’re a kid. It’s Saturday, and you’re playing video games. Your mom/parent/guardian brings you some awesome food to eat while playing. What are you eating, and what are you playing?” - Noah

“Sorry, but I got delayed submitting my question. Speaking of delays, which game did you pick up a while after it came out and thoroughly enjoyed because of the polish it accrued because of time? For me, it was Diablo 3. I heard it was a mess at launch, but by the time I jumped in, it was so so so good!” - Keith, a.k.a. Rocket Scientist
