    Marvel's Wolverine Review on PS5 Pro + Tokyo Game Show 2026 | Ep. 20

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 20, y'all! I finally finished Marvel's Wolverine on PS5 Pro, and I've got thoughts. It looks incredible after the latest PSSR update, and the claws feel great, but it gets repetitive after a while. It's a summer blockbuster: big action, great voice acting, and a fun time without a lot of depth. I also run through early reviews of Control Resonant, The Witcher 3 Remastered, and Silent Hill Downfall. Then we get into September's biggest gaming news, like Kojima's Physint moving to Xbox, the Xbox layoffs and Diablo V. I close with my favorite moments from the Tokyo Game Show 2026. 00:00 Intro 03:30 Marvel's Wolverine Review 24:00 Control Resonant, Witcher 3 Remastered & Silent Hill Downfall 37:00 September Gaming News 47:00 Tokyo Game Show 2026 55:00 Fall Release Calendar What games are you most excited to play this fall?
