This Week In Video Games

This week I've been playing lots of demos from the Steam Games Festival Summer Edition, as there's loads of stuff available at the moment for free. I've also been playing Darius Cosmic Collection, so if you like old school shoot em ups then this one is for you.

This week I've been playing Minecraft Dungeons, a new dungeon-crawler from Mojang and Xbox Game Studios. Outriders have caught my eye, as a fan of looter-shooters I wanted to let you all know about this new game. I also sat down with Lukasz Hacura from Anshar Studios to talk about their new isometric RPG called GameDec.

This bonus episode looks at the mystery audio files released by Bungie on their Twitter account. This new audio file can be compared to a real-life recording of Saturn by Cassini and also provides hints to the next season, season 11. I also look back at clues from Cayde-6 and the past where The Darkness have contacted us before.

This week I've been playing the new third-person shooter from Amazon Game Studios called Crucible. On the indie front, I finally caught up with Downwell, a game I've been meaning to play for some time and picked up through Xbox Game Pass. I also sat down to chat with Arekkz from Arekkz Gaming to talk about Summer Games Fest so far, his new fitness and gaming venture called Video Gains and also some fun speculation about 2020 including whether we're going to see Breath of the Wild 2 this year or not.
