The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast - Episode Twenty
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Final Fantasy XVI, Resident Evil 4: Chainsaw Demo & more
On this episode of The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast, we discuss some of the biggest bombshells dropped on the gaming world in the past few weeks, including our insane disappointment in the live-service/looter-shooter nature of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the news that Final Fantasy XVI has dropped the series’ turn-based roots entirely in favor of Devil-May-Cry-5-esque action, the announcement of Elden Ring story DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree” and so much more.
We also talk about some of the games we’ve been playing recently, including Octopath Traveler II, Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Atomic Heart, the new Resident Evil 4: Chainsaw Demo, and round out the proceedings with a look at all the newest releases for Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus, and a rundown of everything new and notable coming from Limited Run Games, Fangamer, Super Rare Games and iam8bit. Whew! This is a mega-sized episode, and it’s filled to bursting with video games and strong opinions.
