Slay the Spire 2, a Big Hole, and a Resident Evil 9 Spoiler Chat!
Episode 490
Friday, 20 March, 2026

Welcome to The Besties March grab bag. There are simply too many new games, so to cover as much as possible, we split up the workload. Griffin talks about the surprisingly complete Early Access release of Slay the Spire 2. Plante, of all people, explains how to get into Marathon. And Frushtick . . . well, he found a big hole. To avoid Resident Evil 9 spoilers, skip to ~20 minutes after the return from ad break. Get the full list of games (and other stuff) discussed at www.besties.fan. Want more episodes?
