We're down a host (Jared will be back for the next one, we promise), but not short on things to talk about. Mike makes a return to Pillars of Eternity and Mass Effect: Andromeda, but also give us his thoughts on his new adventures with the Frozen Wilds DLC for Horizon Zero Dawn and the super-happy and not-at-all depressing This War of Mine. In between tinkering with microswitches and power supplies on arcade cabinets, Chris dives into Bayonetta on the Switch, continues his stabby tour through Egypt in Assassin's Creed: Origins, and shares his new found love of carving up imaginary animals in the excellent Monster Hunter World. We wrap up with a look at the games we're most excited for in 2018, which is shaping up to look like a pretty terrible year for the wallets of gamers everywhere.
Our theme song is "White Knighting" by Comptroller (http://www.cmptrllr.co.uk), and continues to be as excellent today as when we first heard it.
