About this episode

Sandy and Matty discuss finishing games, including Death Stranding 2 and Hades 2, and their potential for Game of the Year.

This week on Checkpoint Chat, games are actually being finished! After many months Sandy is finally done with Death Stranding 2 and cannot contain how much he was into its earnest bullshit. Meanwhile Matty has triumphed above and below in Hades 2, which might just be a big GOTY contender going into the last weeks of the year. Follow Checkpoint Chat on...
