Two know-nothings with too many old, unplayed videogames. Each episode we set each other gaming 'homework' in an attempt to slowly work through our piles of shame.

    59: Looks a Bit Spicy, That One

    In which your hosts mark the release of Saros by playing Housemarque's previous PS5 game, Returnal. Is it a certified five bagger? You better believe it is.

Finger on the pulse as ever, us. Games discussed: Returnal Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore TR-49 God of War: Ghost of Sparta Watch Tom stream games at www.twitch.tv/playingcatchup Get in touch with the show via Bluesky Intro / outro music by Princess Stephen Artwork by BigShimmeryWall
