This week I've been playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps, the beautiful follow up from Moon Studios. I've also been playing The Longing, a new idle indie game. Destiny 2 released their new season of content and with it returns Trials of Osiris, so I'll have a look at that and I have an interview with Anselm Pyta, creator of The Longing.

This week we’ve had new details from the next-generation Xbox courtesy of Phil Spencer and I run down my favourite games on Xbox Game Pass for PC. The Coronavirus is spreading around the world and also effecting the video games industry too. Finally, we’ve got an exciting new game called Valorant coming from Riot games, a new tactical-hero first-person shooter coming in summer 2020 and I look forward to that.

This week I've been playing Bleeding Edge, a new 4v4 hero brawler coming soon from Ninja Theory. I also picked up Dead Cells The Bad Seed the new DLC. I've also been playing LUNA: The Shadow Dust - a new point and click game from indie developer Lantern Studio and I got to speak to one of the creators of the game Beidi Guo in the build-up to launch.

This week I've been playing a few games in early access including Temtem and Scourgebringer. Temtem is a new rival to Pokemon and Scourgebringer is nice new fast-paced, action rouge-lite. Also, I've been playing A Short Hike, an awesome little game. I've been looking forward to a new looter-slasher called Godfall, which is going to be a PS5 launch title. Finally, I got to sit down and chat to Thomas Altenburger from Flying Oak Games and we talked about Scourgebringer.

This week I've been looking ahead to some of the most anticipated games of 2020 as well as playing through Control, one of 2019's best games I missed. I've also been playing a new indie game called Lenna's Inception, a top-down RPG Zelda-like from Bytten Studio. I also got the chance to catch up with Jay Bayliss from Bytten Studio to talk about the release of Lenna's Inception.

This week it’s a new year, and a new decade! Happy New Year! With it being the first episode of the new year it’s time to make some predictions for 2020. I’ve also been catching up on my backlog including Ape Out, one of 2019’s best games. I've also got a best of compilation of interviews from industry experts (Jon Ingold - 80 Days/Heaven’s Vault, Francisco Gonzalez - Lamplight City, Jennifer Schneidereit - Astrologaster, Sam Partridge - Over the Alps) talking about streaming services in videos games... A hot topic for 2020.
