Sometimes games just don't make the impact they should have, either getting overlooked entirely or obtaining "cult classic" status. Those are what we talked about this week, a small selection of some of our favorite under-the-radar games. They're not underrated, mind you - everyone who has played these generally loves them - but they just don't get the attention we feel like they deserved. Drew talks about Hypnospace Outlaw, an awesome early internet simulator/detective game, and Spec Ops: The Line, a surprisingly heady deconstruction of military shooters. Josh brings Risk of Rain 2, a mechanically-rich roguelike shooter, and XCom 2, a deep and phenomenal tactical RTS. Editor’s Note from Josh: We finally fixed my audio! Also, in my segment about Xcom 2, I mistakenly said The Spokesman was voiced by Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime). It’s actually Jon Bailey of Honest Trailers fame. He also does a great Optimus Prime voice, hence the confusion. Support Bastard Sword by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/bastard-sword
