Welcome to episode 13 of the Grapplehook podcast.

This week, Dan returns for a deep dive into the Playstation 5, sharing our thoughts and impressions.

Is the PS5 as big as it looks? How is it in the set up? What is the controller like and are there really as many bugs as social media suggests? We dive into all these topics and more whilst sharing our impressions on the console and games.

We discuss the news of a Cyberpunk 2021 next gen update and the complete mess of Square Enix's Marvel Avengers and the impact on their financials.

This week is a bumper episode!

We discuss the games we've been playing with some interesting inclusions. We discuss the ongoing saga that is Halo Infinite, WatchDogs Legion melting Xbox One X's and Microsoft's ongoing conquest to ensure everyone and his dog had GamePass.

We also discuss the repeated delays of CyberPunk and weigh up, is one big delay better than 5 small ones?

We then get into our top 5 cross platform games of the generation and there are some quite surprising picks in there for sure!
