Episode 358: A Messy Appendage That Can’t Ever Satisfy Itself

Both Toms, Graham and Marsh defy death in timeloop horror House, deal death in globetrotting trilogy Hitman, dodge death in smart shmup Bezier and become death in Death Crown. Also: streamlined space strat Slipways and the joy of City Guesser.

• Find unexpected pleasure in the inane wittering of your fellow man in the superb City Guesser.
• Microsoft Flight Simulator: now with Enhanced Wales.
• Gorgeous platformer Ori and the Will of the Wisps
• Hollow Knight: also a dead nice platformer. A sequel, Silksong, is in the offing.
• Enjoy lunging with your ratty thief hands in the otherwise not very good Thi4f.
