About this episode
The episode discusses the return of Ryu in Ninja Gaiden 4 and the release of The Outer Worlds 2, reflecting on their gameplay and impact.
This week on Checkpoint Chat, we checked out the long-awaited return of Ryu in Ninja Gaiden 4 while avoiding the mess he's made on the walls, on the ceiling, and pretty much anywhere else you can think of. The Outer Worlds 2 is also out and reminding us that Fallout New Vegas was pretty damn good, and so is this latest Obsidian role-playing game set in capitalist space hell.
