“Crimson Desert is essentially the GTA of fantasy games.” @Fightincowboy thinks people are going to look back on Crimson Desert and remember just how ridiculous the amount of freedom was. Do you agree? 👀 #CrimsonDesert #BetweenLevels

Question Thread, sorry it's late. We record in around two hours. youtube.com/post/Ugkx443wNcf…

Phantom Blade Zero’s map is seriously beautiful. @Sarthetv explains how its hand-drawn, traditional Chinese style reveals the world gradually without turning into a conventional waypoint-heavy game map. #PhantomBladeZero #BetweenLevels

Phantom Blade Zero’s soundtrack sounds wild. @Sarthetv explains how one fight shifts from traditional Chinese percussion into a full metal fusion during its second phase. #PhantomBladeZero #BetweenLevels

Phantom Blade Zero is NOT a traditional Soulslike. @Sarthetv explains how free respecs, weapon switching and a more flexible progression system make it a very different kind of action game. #PhantomBladeZero #BetweenLevels

Phantom Blade Zero’s combat looks almost too good to be real. After another six hours with the game, @Sarthetv says the fast, fluid, cinematic combat really does play the way it looks in the trailers. #PhantomBladeZero #BetweenLevels

Episode 15 is LIVE! 🎙️ Sarthe gives his latest hands-on impressions of Phantom Blade Zero after another six hours with the game. Plus: Wheelie reviews Hellraiser and we return to Gears of War: E-Day. Watch 👇 youtu.be/oFPmoZdLObI #PhantomBladeZero #Hellraiser #BetweenLevels

The Between Levels community wants us competing against each other in different games… Apparently that needs to end with @Fightincowboy absolutely destroying @Wheelie_Average in Phantom Dust. 😂 #PhantomDust #FightinCowboy #BetweenLevels

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is an absolute blast. @Wheelie_Average and @Sarthetv break down why the speed, pod racing and roguelike progression make it so hard to put down. #StarWarsGalacticRacer #StarWars #BetweenLevels

FightinCowboy finds it strange that people still treat The Duskbloods like a traditional Souls game. It’s a PvPvE multiplayer title with a very different structure, even if some of the mechanics feel familiar. #TheDuskbloods #FightinCowboy #BetweenLevels

Gears of War: E-Day is an absolute must-play. @Wheelie_Average explains why he thinks it delivers a strong story, great character moments and one of Xbox’s best games in years. #GearsofWarEDay #BetweenLevels

Episode 14 is LIVE! 🎙️ Is Gears of War: E-Day the best Xbox game since the 360 era? 👀 We’re also talking Star Wars: Galactic Racer, WoW Forever drama, Phantom Blade Zero, Fable and another absolutely stacked month of games. Watch now 👇 youtu.be/gpiAxnxn7UQ #BetweenLevels

Is 2026 one of the best years gaming has ever had? 👀 Mortal Shell II, Onimusha, Dawnwalker, Control Resonant and there’s still more to come. #Gaming #BetweenLevels

World of Warcraft really is a second life. 😂 PvP, dungeons, raids, crafting, fishing, gearing up… there’s always something else to do. @Fightincowboy explains why WoW is so dangerously addictive. #WorldOfWarcraft #BetweenLevels

Pragmata hit @Fightincowboy WAY harder than he expected. 😭 Even knowing what was coming, the story still got him. It’s still his Game of the Year as things stand. #Pragmata #BetweenLevels

Episode 13 is LIVE! 🎙️ World of Warcraft Forever has completely taken over the podcast this week. 😂 We’re also talking Fantasy Critic, Control Resonant, whether 2026 is one of gaming’s best years ever, and plenty more. Watch now 👇 youtu.be/dGmFlHMLFNg #WOW #BetweenLevels

Episode 12 is LIVE! 🎙️ This week Jesse from @PlayDay_One joins us for a huge Control Resonant review discussion, plus Marvel’s Wolverine, Warcraft Forever, Onimusha, Dawnwalker and more. Watch now 👇 youtu.be/SnoiecYcVe8 #ControlResonant #BetweenLevels

Between Levels is back today! 🎙️ Episode 12 will be going live a little later than usual due to a delayed recording time, but we’ll still have a brand-new episode for you today. Thanks for bearing with us — see you later! ❤️ #BetweenLevels
