Rob reviews a beloved Sega exclusive the least confrontational way possible!
All opinions are our own but the jokes probably aren't. Sweaty Cowch is a (mostly) let's play channel hosted by Rob and Noah; two friends with day jobs and a penchant for gaming together on 1 screen.

Beyond Oasis is crawling out of hidden gem status as we collectively discover it's more than just an action adventure game that released too late in the Genesis life span. For every one thing you could point at as being similar to its main rival potentially 2 more could be pointed at as being unique or at least creative enough to set it apart. This game has fast become a 16 bit favorite of mine and I look forward to gushing about it with fellow fans.
