In this episode of the Geek Fit Podcast, I discuss the games I’ve been playing recently, ranging from an all time favourite in Final Fantasy X to more recent experiences like Far Cry 6 and Resident Evil 2 Remake. I also touch on side-scrolling gems like Hollow Knight, Zau and Plucky Squire, as well as my experience with Nintendo Switch Online, which allows me to revisit classic games like Super Mario 64 and F-Zero. Plus, Jemma and I have been enjoying co-op gaming with Cult of the Lamb and It Takes Two.
