Highguard Ending Already? Give It A Chance | The Press Start Podcast

This week we dive into the controversy surrounding Highguard's rocky launch and plummeting player base, debating whether gamer culture and rage baiting are to blame or if the game simply failed to find its footing. We also break down the shadow-dropped 2D action game God of War: Sons of Sparta and whether it lives up to expectations, plus discuss the announcement of a God of War Trilogy Remake and debate how faithful it should stay to the original games. We recap the latest PlayStation State of Play featuring reveals like Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2, the new John Wick game, Silent Hill Townfall, and Castlevania Belmont's Curse. Harry shares his obsessive deep dive into Mewgenics, one of 2026's highest-rated games so far, and delivers his reviews for Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties and Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. Plus we discuss the news that PlayStation 6 may be delayed until 2029 and close out with another chaotic round of What The Wiki?!
