The Outer Wilds, Shadow of the Colossus and Resident Evil 2 are sizzling away for this edition. Outer Wilds is a 2019 action-adventure game developed by Mobius Digital and published by Annapurna Interactive for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. In the game, the player-character finds themselves on a planet with only 22 minutes before the local sun goes supernova and kills them. The player continually repeats this 22-minute cycle by learning details that can help alter the outcome on later playthroughs. It received critical acclaim and won several awards, including game of the year. Resident Evil 2 is a survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. A remake of the 1998 game of the same name, it was released for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on January 25, 2019. Players control rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they attempt to escape Raccoon City during a zombie outbreak. Capcom considered remaking Resident Evil 2 following the successful release of the remake of the first Resident Evil in 2002, but was delayed as series creator Shinji Mikami did not want to divert development from the then-upcoming Resident Evil 4 (2005). Capcom announced the Resident Evil 2 remake in August 2015 and released the first trailer and gameplay footage at E3 2018. Resident Evil 2 received critical acclaim, with praise for its presentation, gameplay, and faithfulness to the original. It was nominated for several awards, including numerous "game of the year" awards. By April 2020, it has sold over 6.5 million copies, outselling the original. Shadow of the Colossus is an action-adventure game developed by Bluepoint Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. It is a remake of the original game for the PlayStation 2 using ultra-high definition art assets. The remake was led by Bluepoint, who developed the earlier PlayStation 3 remaster, with assistance from SIE Japan Studio. The developers remade the assets from the ground up, but Shadow of the Colossus retains the same gameplay from the original title aside from the introduction of a new control scheme. The game received acclaim from critics, who praised it for preserving the feel of the original while vastly improving graphics and performance, and updating the control scheme. However, major criticism was given to the gameplay and camera, which many felt should have been improved. Support this podcast
