This week, we've both been playing the hot new release that's taken the world by storm: the rhythm-based fishing game Sinker Sound. Then, Willa's adventures in the back catalog continue with Final Fantasy and Resident Evil, and Robin has played a pair of weird and wonderful indie sim games.

This week, we remember the halcyon days of when we cared about Final Fantasy 14, experience what it’s like to watch a gaming awards show that doesn’t make you want to claw your own eyes out, and discover that every once in a while a lesbian with a sword isn’t enough to make your game good.Timestamps:(00:15) It’s all great over here(01:45) Remember when we cared about Final Fantasy 14?(07:40) The IGF Awards(21:15) No Games for Genocide(24:55) 1348 Ex Voto(56:10) What else have Willa and Robin been up to this week?

Just because we haven't played Resident Evil: Requiem doesn't mean we can' talk about the discourse surrounding it and the franchise's odd position of rewriting vs reckoning with its past.

We talk about Marathon and the state of live-service titles in this one, and we could not have predicted Highguard would announce its shutdown between recording and release.

This week, everything is bad in the world of AAA, and not just for the usual reasons. After running through the latest disasters at PlayStation and the sinking ship that is Xbox, Willa once again puts on clown makeup to await the next game from Yoko Taro, and Robin takes solace in games that are just okay.Timestamps:(00:30) The Olympics, etc.(08:50) Finally some gaming talk (it’s all bad)(17:15) RIP Bluepoint(30:10) A bunch of Yoko Taro news(44:10) Robin self-medicating with 7/10 games(57:33) What else have Willa and Robin been up to this week?

This week, we do a quick Olympic check-in before running through the State of Play and its many (un)interesting announcements.
