Random Encounter Podcast 304 - Czar of Mana

On this episode of Random Encounter, we're talking politics! Well, no, not really, but there are some jokes about politics in here...

First up, Izzy has played the first new Mana game since 2020's Trials of Mana remake, Visions of Mana! With spiky hair, lush landscapes, and real-time RPG action, it's undeniably a Mana game, but does it live up to the heights of the series' golden age on the SNES?

Then, Jerry reviews what's been described as the first AAA video game ever developed in China, Black Myth: Wukong. Does this stunning Souls-like portend the rise of the AAA Chinese gaming industry, or is it a missed opportunity in the politics of soft power (See, jokes about politics! Whee!)?

Featuring: Jono Logan, Izzy Parsons, and Jerry Williams; Edited by Jono Logan
