A Great Month for Games: Returnal, Resident Evil Village & the Mass Effect Trilogy - GUI 77

Download Right click and do "save link as"
This week, the boys assess the bounty of fine games we have enjoyed in the past month (and one we are thrilled to experience anew); Returnal, Resident Evil Village and [the] Mass Effect Trilogy. Alex updates us on his slog toward the end of Returnal, with but a single biome standing between him and the credits. Mike explains the novel hub-world progression structure Capcom has implemented in Resident Evil Village, as well as how Moreau and house Beneviento corroborate the symptom-real/potency-act relation elaborated in our recent article. Lastly, we provide an introductory note to the Mass Effect Trilogy for new players: which game to start with? Which is best? What impact do narrative consequences from the original title have on the rest of the trilogy?   Thank you for listening!
