This Week In Video Games

This week I’ve been playing Streets of Rage 4, a throwback to mid-90s scrolling beat em ups. I also managed to get my hands on Ring Fit Adventure so I’ve been checking out Nintendo’s fitness-focused RPG. I also sat down to have a chat with Julia Hardy to talk her podcast This Game Changed My Life, her fitness live streams Game To Train and some lockdown game and TV recommendations.

This week I've been playing Final Fantasy VII Remake so I thought I'd have a look at the history of the game. I've also been playing Gato Roboto, a cool little Metroidvania about a cat in a mech suit. I also sat down with Piotr from Walkabout games to talk about the stylish, comic book-inspired Liberated, coming soon to Nintendo Switch.
