A group of friends who work in the games industry meet up once a week to talk about PC games over a drink. “Off-the-cuff” is a polite way to say “unprofessional”, right?

<br /> Jamie, Tom and Marsh head out into the wild blue yonder (without headphones on like some kind of smug Japanese writer) and talk about 3 open world games, somewhat alike in dignity. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is the brand new tiny-sword-up-my-sleeve ’em up, has peerless breezes, great killings, but boy is there a lot of it! * Atomfall is a game that Jamie loves more than just about anyone else he can find, listen to him incoherently try and explain why. * Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a game in which you play a smelly man who wants to be less smelly and is prepared to save and quit in order to do it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You can hang out with us and our community on <a href="https://discord.gg/0Uz2RsGMemgl9DZT">our Discord channel</a>.

The distant troglodyte descendants of Jamie and Marsh relive memories of the before-times and the joyous videogames that were once played, namely: 1000xResist, Type Help and Pathologic 3: Quarantine.<br /> <br /> * <br /> Pathologic 3: Quarantine is the demo for a larger forthcoming game, and is harrowing in about every way it can be.<br /> * <br /> 1000xResist is a brilliant game about many things, including generational trauma and big pigeons. Contains mild jumping.<br /> * <br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxAmzJ4N0PA&pp=ygUbMTAwMHhyZXNpc3Qgc3RvcnkgZXhwbGFpbmVk0gcJCb0Ag7Wk3p_U">This</a> is a good video deep dive into the game.<br /> * <br /> Type Help is an information game with a killer discovery mechanic and a wicked mystery. Bloody devil!<br /> * <br /> Tom Francis, who has the best sheets, and now an IGF Award for Excellence in Design, did a video review of Type Help, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMwxK7GPjr8&ab_channel=TomFrancis">here</a>.<br /> <br /> You can hang out with us and our community on <a href="https://discord.gg/0Uz2RsGMemgl9DZT">our Discord channel</a>.

Tom S joins Marsh to be baffled by BAFTA noms, enjoy the chaotic departure from military fiction in Black Ops 6, put on a purple frenzied bone hat in Monster Hunter, and bolster our collection of severed tongues in Avowed like the nimdoots we are.<br /> <br /> * <br /> The <a href="https://www.bafta.org/awards/games">BAFTA website</a> has been designed by maniacs. You can just put things in a list! In a text list! There wasn’t a problem to solve there! Why am I expanding subcategories and scrolling horizontally just to see six fucking names, you FIENDS?<br /> * Tactical Breach Wizards deserves to win all the categories, but was only nominated for Best Game Design.<br /> * Black Ops 6 is the silliest Call of Duty yet, and, not coincidentally, also the best.<br /> * Monster Hunter is a series I will never understand, but I will admit that it looks cool to wallop the big lizards in Monster Hunter Wilds.<br /> * Fungal fantasy RPG Avowed is a 7/10 (extremely complimentary).<br /> <br /> You can hang out with us and our community on <a href="https://discord.gg/0Uz2RsGMemgl9DZT">our Discord channel</a>.
