Description

This week we’re fresh off Gamescom 2025 with our early reactions and a deeper look at what makes a stand-out games showcase.

With announcements like Resident Evil RequiemBlack Myth 2Call of Duty: Black Ops 7Hell is UsLego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and more, we’ll talk about what worked, what missed the mark, and what games we walk away excited for. 

We’ll also ask: what makes a great showcase? Is it surprises, pacing, tone, or just lots of big names in trailers?

And in this week’s Pixel Picks Showdown, we’re ranking the Best Art Style Game, because sometimes it's simply about doing things in style!

In this episode:

  • Gamescom & Opening Night Live 2025 reactions and reveals
  • What Makes A Great Games Showcase?
  • Pixel Picks Showdown: Best Art Style Game
