The Gamereactor Show

On our half-centennial episode, Alex and Ben talk about Bungie’s Marathon and why it’s not exactly imbuing confidence in them. This is before shifting focus onto A Minecraft Movie and the ridiculous viewing tendencies, before then concluding by discussing what it’s like to work in the video game industry.

We look back at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and recap the information that the Japanese gaming titan presented to its fans, sharing our thoughts on whether it was a success or a bit of a flop.

We look ahead to next week’s major Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and share some thoughts about what we absolutely expect from the broadcast and likewise what we deem very unlikely but would love to see all the same.

Alex takes the reign of this episode and quizzes Ben about his time with Ubisoft’s latest action-RPG effort, the Feudal Japan-based Assassin’s Creed Shadows. With a variety of opinions, and a slate of controversy addressed, we talk about whether this game is one of Ubisoft’s best or instead if it misses the mark.

With a few major previews recently doing the rounds, Alex and Ben share their thoughts after being able to go hands-on with the upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege evolution, the next project from MercurySteam, and the anticipated Fallout-like adventure from Rebellion.

It’s launch day for Split Fiction! On this latest episode, we share our thoughts on Hazelight’s latest cooperative adventure, discussing if the immense critical reception is enough to catapult the game back to the heights that It Takes Two achieved in awards ceremonies around the world.

We recap the recent Warner Bros. Games studios shut down, which is seeing Monolith Productions being closed, the Wonder Woman game cancelled, MultiVersus creator Player First Games shuttered, and WB Games San Diego axed too. Is this a sign of what could affect NetherRealm, Rocksteady, and Avalanche in the future? We discuss this and more.

Following the recent State of Play, Ben and Alex discuss whether PlayStation has already waved the metaphorical white flag for this calendar year, which is already distinctly lacking first-party launches and announcements.

Alex and Ben come together to discuss two of the biggest developments of the week. We look at Obsidian’s RPG Avowed and how it is shaping up to some of the other RPG titans of 2025 so far, and question whether its release strategy will harm it in the long run. Then we turn our attention to Elden Ring: Nightreign, where Alex discusses his time playing the game and why it’s one of the most unusual FromSoftware titles to date.

It's time for our Kingdom Come: Deliverance II reviewcast. Ben and Alex come together to discuss Warhorse's acclaimed RPG sequel and whether it lives up to the hype.
