If The Next Xbox Is A PC What Is A Console

Send us Fan Mail

A game can look like a glitchy mess to everyone watching and still feel amazing in your hands and Cairn is our proof. We break down why its limb-by-limb climbing, stamina management, and piton “mini-saves” create real tension and real relief, the kind of accomplishment most modern games chase but rarely earn. If you’ve been hunting for a new PS5 game that feels different, or you just love design talk that goes deeper than graphics, this one gets into the details.

Then we jump across generations with the kind of playlist only a weekly gaming podcast can justify: RGT wraps up Remember Me and explains why its memory-driven sci-fi story still works, even when the difficulty spikes feel out of nowhere. We swap party-night memories from Jackass on PS2, talk Metroid Prime 4 on Switch 2 including performance options and that classic Metroid backtracking sting, and revisit Ratchet and Clank as a reminder that tight controls and strong art direction never go out of style. RGT also shares Bristol pickups and the oddly satisfying logic of trading piles of “shelf filler” into something you actually want to keep.

On the news side, we dig into The Seventh Guest remake landing on PS5 without VR and what that signals about PSVR2 support, marketing, and why VR only truly shines when the physical setup matches what your brain expects. We also unpack Xbox Project Helix and the bigger question it raises: if Microsoft leans harder into Windows, Steam, and a cross-device “Xbox mode,” what even counts as a console anymore?
