Weekly 12: The Red Dead Online problem, morgues and so much more
Description
Another Friday, another Weekly - the show where we recap the week on Eurogamer for you. Remember, premium supporters listen from Friday whereas everyone else listens from Monday.
Today, we've got former Eurogamer writer Emma Kent back! And it turns out that since moving on from Eurogamer, she's rediscovered a passion for football. And she's thrown herself so fully into it that she'll soon be in the FA Cup!
She's also been turning out some great pieces for us, including two two State of the Game pieces - one on Valheim and one, more recently, on Red Dead Online. And it's that that we dive into first today.
We hear more from Christian Donlan about the two games he reviewed this week, Hindsight and Hard West 2. Hindsight being the exploration of memory and grief that follows a woman returning to her family home following her mother's death; and Hard West 2 being the cowboys meets XCOM game with a few formula-exaggerating ideas of its own. And they're both great.
I talk a bit about South of the Circle, meanwhile, the game with superb acting that impressed me this week; we get into MultiVersus, the Smash Bros.-alike with Warner Bros. characters; and I really like the look of The Mortuary Assistant, which Zoe and Ian take a closer look at this week. All that plus our thoughts of Fortnite years on, an exciting Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 VR remake, and a rundown of the news that stood out to me this week.
