Paper Mario: The Origami King and Ghost of Tsushima are both out now, and the GamesBeat Decides crew has a review for each of them. Reviews editor Mike Minotti talks about his time in Sucker Punch’s map game. PC gaming editor Jeff Grubb, meanwhile, gives his take on why Paper Mario is worth it despite its flaws.

Then in the news, Mike and Jeff chat about the NPD results. Plenty of people are still buying games, and The Last of Us Part II is fueling a lot of that. Ubisoft Forward also happened, but without much to get excited about.

Join us for all of that and more, won’t you?
