It's a festival... of games! In the summer! This week, we skim through some of the more exciting games shown off during the barrage of forwards, directs, and not-E3s over the past couple weeks (side note: this was recorded prior to the Nintendo direct so we didn't get to talk about that sweet, sweet Metroid Prime 4 action). Some of the highlights were the expected-but-still-pretty-neat Doom: The Dark Ages, the unexpected-and-very-neat Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and the Star Wars: Outlaws gameplay showcase that certainly was a thing that existed.
