Jamie joins Marsh to discuss the imminent game glut, puzzlesome reverse dog-trial Humanity, super-stylish brawler Sifu and clever Counter-Strike-alike Veiled Experts.
*
Diablo, Street Fighter 6 and Amnesia: The Bunker are all poised for release, while Bungie’s Marathon jangles gaudily on the distant horizon.
*

*
Flee the unfinished quest icon deluge in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
*
Sifu is a kung-fu combat game that cleverly blends arcade, roguelike and cinematic disciplines.
*
Thirdperson team-shooter Veiled Experts throws a lot of ideas at Counter-Strike’s format and, surprisingly, a lot of them seem to stick.
