This week on Checkpoint Chat, Doom Slayer is so cute and small but still ready to rev that chainsaw in Mighty Doom, things aren't so great with The Last of Us Part I on PC right now, and Resident Evil 4 continues to serve up the right amount of engrossing action and grin-inducing cheese.

This week on Checkpoint Chat, Leon's here and suplexes are back on the menu in Resident Evil 4 Remake, Bayonetta takes a turn for the cute in Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, and is E3 well and truly dead this time? Probably.

This week on Checkpoint Chat, we take to the seas and uncover the horrors underneath the waves in Dredge, turns out no one really can hear you scream in Dead Space, and Dead Cells continues to be the roguelite to beat with its new Castlevania expansion.

This week on Checkpoint Chat, no cows are safe in an early look at Resident Evil 4 Remake, space is still creepy in the Dead Space remake, and Cereza is tiny in Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon.  

This week on Checkpoint Chat, controller's get sweaty as Team Ninja's latest starts stressing our abilities in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Atomic Heart is a fun game with a truly awful story, and DID YOU HEAR ABOUT ELDEN RING DLC?  

This week on Checkpoint Chat, we're still enjoying our travels back in time to a technologically advanced USSR in Atomic Heart, we've played around with the DualSense Edge for a month and think it's pretty great, and Suicide Squad is looking a bit strange right?

This week on Checkpoint Chat we're deep in the Soviet Union fighting rebellious robots in Atomic Heart, the magic had faded fast in Hogwarts Legacy, and Padel has an MMR system now?
