PlayStation PC Issues, Astro Boy PS5, & Anime Deep Dive | Game Junction Podcast #86

The Game Junction Podcast

What if one of the most anticipated PC releases of the year came with a catch that could change the way you game? This episode, we kick things off by dissecting the ramifications of God of War: Ragnarok's PC debut, which controversially requires a PSN account even for single-player mode. We break down what this means for gamers, debating the potential hit to sales and player satisfaction. Alongside, we hit up the highlights from the recent State of Play event and speculate on the buzz surrounding the upcoming Xbox Game Showcase and its potential to shake up the gaming landscape.
Next, our conversation takes a magical turn as we dive into the Kingdom Hearts series, now making its way to Steam. We reminisce about our personal favorites and the series’ intricate storyline, even touching on the quirky intersection of Kingdom Hearts with the VTuber phenomenon. But it’s not all nostalgia—our analysis extends to the crowded PvP shooter mark
