Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A magical rave, a suspect kidnapping, and a firefight where every roll makes escape messier.
The Braze turns a slippery mystery about seven power brokers, or possibly only five, into a breakneck escape through an underground magical rave that has been running for the better part of a century.
A sonic-boom ambush turns one hallway into Fun City's sharpest danger zone.
Fun City turns a hallway into a sudden pressure point as Ganymede vanishes, a deafening crack hits, and he appears on the other side of Ivan. The attack has a nasty physical clarity: heat in the air, hair thrown around, rubber squealing on the floor, and Viv discovering the cut…
Fun City turns an awkward bedroom visit into sudden gunfire while keeping its corporate mystery in motion.
Fun City picks up after the Jast Reclamation infiltration with the crew holding a book connected to an impossible rare isotope of aura calcum and a wider corporate tangle involving NYPD Incorporated, Knight Errant, and Evo.
A flooded Jast chamber, an overhead drill, and a costly teleport suit make escape feel brutally physical.
Fun City stays buried in Jast Reclamation, where molten metal leaks into a chamber taking on water and escape becomes a matter of timing, machinery, and nerve.
An experimental slag gun and a stim pack make the Jast Reclamation escape feel tactile, strange, and urgently unstable.
Fun City turns a ledger-retrieval job inside Jast Reclamation into a tense industrial escape, trapping the team after the descent and letting the oracalcum operation pull them into stranger, more immediate danger.
Dice, divine mysteries, and the trouble with good intentions.
Fun City 59, "Why Can't We Be Friends?", opens with Shadowrun-style worldbuilding, then drops the crew into a tight fight at The Braze after Alacrity Gimble decides they "absolutely cannot get blood" in her office.
Under the underground party in Rays New York, Alacrity offers the crew a bargain: surrender, stay alive, and let the bounty money move hands.
Gabe wires pads into Gone Fission and shocks Lux back from a flat red line after the dash flashes "shock necessary" and then "shock unnecessary." Viv wakes in Central Park surrounded by volcanic spheres, learns she lost "spirit affinity" rather than her mentor spirit, and watches the water retreat from her hands.
Fun City's "54: The Conglomeration" follows Lash, Viv, TK, Lux, and Jast through Jast Reclamation as the Circletron ritual collides with an Aura Calcum operation.
At Jast Reclamation, Lash is under a pile of guards, TK is trading fire with knife-wielders, and Lux is teleporting around a Crucible that Priest Hildegard already collapsed.
