Playing Catch-up

Tom Bailey, Paul Thomas

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.

  1. 1 THG 5

    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. After that, they round up a spiritual successor to the CD-i Zelda games, an audio-based mystery puzzle game with Her Story vibes, and an oft overlooked gem from the PSP days. 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

    In which Paul and Tom rummage through the games likely to make it to their grubby little mitts in the coming year.

    53: Distinctive and squelchy
