This time next week, we’ll be on the other side of Gamescom, and I’ll be churning through reams and reams of preview write ups. It’s going to be a heckin’ busy time as always, and I’ve got some nice and exciting games on my schedule to check out in Cologne!

In a pseudo review, Tuffcub spoke to the TSA Destiny 2 clan to find a consensus on the latest expansion, The Edge of Fate, and where the game can go from here.
We also had a couple hardware reviews with the Final VR3000 Wireless earbuds making a compelling case for themselves, and there’s the Turtle Beach Rematch controller, which sure is a colourful Switch gamepad.
Beyond the reviews, Dom had a great time digging into the Grounded 2 Early Access, and Jason a sheepishly good time with Ovis Loop’s wolf battling, and I got to check out Jackbox Party Pack 11, which is absolutely going to bring the noise.
Rounding out the week, What We Played featured Grounded 2, Tiny Bookshop and Drag x Drive
