Inspired by Eurogamer’s best games of 2022 so far list, and ahead of a long weekend of gaming here in the UK, now’s a good time to chat about what has kept us interested this spring. Horizon: Forbidden West arrived with huge fanfare, and seems like it did a good job of providing more of the original’s sense of adventure - but did it fall a little flat in the face of Elden Ring? January saw the launch of the new PS5 version of Uncharted: Lost Legacy - but what’s next for the biggest of Sony’s blockbuster franchises? There’s also the new and distinctly war-themed season of Fortnite. It’s been fascinating to watch how Epic Games has had to navigate its tank-fuelled rollout in the midst of a very real war, while running an eye-opening charitable campaign. Joining me to discuss all that and much more this week are Eurogamer news reporters Victoria Kennedy and Ishraq Subhan!
