Top Down Perspective Jon Wheeler, Paul Fleck, Sean Booker

Sean is back from his Magical European Extravaganza™ and has played basically all the games you want to hear about... from Animal Well to Hades II with some Lorelai and the Laser Eyes and even some Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. Actually, Paul also has been playing Hellblade II now that he finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and ran through Crow Country.
Not much news, so we get Sean's thoughts on the big stuff from last week quickly for the most part.
