We're back for the monthly podcast! This episode sees us discussing Xbox in a post-Phil Spencer world, Resident Evil Requiem, Yakuza Kiwami 3, Romeo Is A Dead Man, Steam Next Fest and more.

Rewinder is back for its latest podcast episode. In a slow month for new releases, the crew mainly caught up on their back catalogue, while Lex found Cairn to be fascinating.

Lumines Arise is a wonderful game worth diving into, but Tetris Effect will always keep Henry coming back.
