On Spectator Mode Podcast Episode 181, we dive into the latest gaming buzz, starting with our impressions of the Mechabreak demo and what it brings to the mech genre. We then shred into the exciting reveal of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake before discussing our thoughts on Monster Hunter Wilds. The hardware talk heats up with news of an Xbox handheld (again), and we celebrate Chrono Trigger’s 30th anniversary by reflecting on its RPG legacy. Finally, we explore whether PC gaming in the living room has hit its stride.

For our roundtable, we debate if playing Death Stranding 1 is necessary before diving into the sequel and question whether Xbox’s acquisition of Activision was worth it. With hot takes, nostalgia, and industry insights, this episode is packed with gaming goodness you won’t want to miss!
