"DEMOGORGONS ATE MY NEIGHBORS."
Rick and Cylon dive into Stranger Things 3: The Game, a pixel-art beat 'em up/RPG hybrid that feels like a love letter to classic games like Zombies Ate My Neighbors. But while the game seems charming, there’s one lingering question: Will it be more enjoyable than the divisive third season of the show itself?
The guys don’t hold back on their mixed feelings about Season 3, debating its highs, its lows, and whether or not Hopper’s Hawaiian shirt was the true MVP. Meanwhile, they explore Hawkins, smash rats and Russians, and try to determine if this game can capture the magic that made the early seasons of Stranger Things so special.
Is it an underrated gem, or just another cash-in? Let’s find out! GAME BIO: Stranger Things 3: The Game is an action-adventure game developed by BonusXP and released in 2019 alongside the third season of Stranger Things. Blending RPG mechanics with classic beat 'em up gameplay, it lets players control their favorite characters from the show as they uncover secrets, solve puzzles, and punch their way through Hawkins. With co-op gameplay and a retro aesthetic, the game aims to recapture the charm of 16-bit classics while staying faithful to the show’s storyline.
