Sacred Symbols+, Episode 479 | Cronos: The New Dawn Review Discussion and Spoilercast

It's me, Colin. Please welcome Matty of Defining Duke fame to Sacred+ for a one-on-one conversation all about Bloober's recent survival horror release, Cronos. The reality is this: We both loved the game, and we're sad it's not selling more. So we thought we'd do our part in breaking down this surprising alternate history-slash-period thriller, both for those who played it and those interested in learning more (though you should keep in mind that -- as always -- we spoil the heck out of every...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 377 | Holding Out For A Hero

The internet is alight with word that a State of Play (or perhaps even a proper so-called Showcase) is right around the corner, and with it the purported reemergence of Insomniac's Wolverine, first revealed way back in 2021 alongside Spider-Man 2 (which itself came out two years ago).

We're about to find out, along with -- perhaps! -- confirmation of ...
