If you want to hear opinions about the latest games to hit the market, then you’ve come to the right place as TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 144 is full of them. We’ve got big hitters like A Plague Tale: Requiem and Persona 5 Royal, plus a varied selection of others to ponder. There are also fresh takes on the hottest news topics, so be sure to tune in and enjoy our offering!
This week sees Gareth, Darren and Paul in attendance, who kick things off with a quick catch-up. Nothing is off the table with this segment, with health updates just as likely to pop up as a popular TV show like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power getting a mention. One of the trio had a gaming-related excursion too.
In terms of actual games, the team has plenty to discuss. The excellently brutal A Plague Tale: Requiem and the perfect RPG Persona 5 Royal are front and centre, but that’s not all. Get ready to learn more regarding the multiplayer antics of The Jackbox Party Pack 9, the gruesome puzzler Scorn, surviving the middle ages in Medieval Dynasty, a returning classic in the form of The House of the Dead Remake, the KEMCO RPG Dragon Prana, and the metroidvania horror of Moonscars.
Of course, the episode couldn’t be wrapped up without a word on the controversy surrounding Bayonetta 3, the Silent Hill showcase, or the potential of the Sims on next-gen hardware.
