Back again... yay?
Well, we a happy we are back and so many games to talk about! Emil is back in time with more Borderlands 2 and Call of Duty. He feels some shame about it. But he has also been a good gamer with two new games! Cult of the Lamb has a lot of potential and can easily be addictive as hell. And he went to one of the forgotten gems, Dark Messiah Might and Magic a game from 2006. Its unattentionally funny with a lot of physics based gameplay. Jens has also been a good gamer with going back to his backlog. Where he has finished Hyper Light Drifter and Owlboy. Good on him! He also got reminded of how good Hollow Knight is. But damn, he has some criticism about the much beloved game.
On the newsfront, we talk more Indies that got showcased at Nintendo Indie World Showcase. The Microsoft Activision Blizzard acquisition has hit a bump, where the CMA has blocked the deal. Reasoning being, the worries about monopoly in the cloud gaming market. And then we discuss the AI advances and how that will affect the video game industry. Will it help it or just ruin everything? Take a listen would you?
