This week I’m joined by Grey Aussie Gamer and Dylan Smith for episode 2 of the Controllers & Coffee Podcast! We get deep into the incredible Ghost of Tsushima gameplay demo, and what we hope from the last Sony exclusive before the next generation. We discuss how Half Life Alyx has changed the game for VR, and how Valve has managed to incorporate the limits of VR into the lore of the Half Life universe. 

And the wonderful and hugely influential Witcher 3 Wild Hunt just turned 5 years old, so we reminisce some of our favourite moments and what CD Projekt Red have in store for the future.
