About this episode

The episode discusses the launches of Resident Evil Requiem and High on Life 2, along with an analysis of Bungie's Marathon and Valve's Deadlock.

In this episode, we break down the high-stakes launch of Resident Evil Requiem, the polarizing "skate-shooter" sequel High on Life 2, and Bungie’s artsy but identity-challenged Marathon. Plus, a deep dive into the silent, invite-only rise of Valve’s Deadlock and why it’s the most important game you’re probably not playing yet.
