This week on Checkpoint Chat, we check out the long-awaited return of Ryu in Ninja Gaiden 4. The Outer Worlds 2 is also out and reminding us that Fallout New Vegas was pretty damn good, and so is this latest Obsidian role-playing game set in capitalist space hell.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Review – Seamless Seamstress - Pfangirl.com
Looooong-awaited sequel and metroidvania Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now. The big question is whether small studio Team Cherry were able to thread the needle again?

This week, Death Stranding 2 continues to delight. Mafia The Old Country returns the series to its linear roots, while Battlefield 6 feels familiar and modern. Finally, we check Metavoidal, a new roguelite where you play as a drummer trying to escape an evil band!
