Alex returns from vacation to chat with Marcus and Charles about Life is Strange: Reunion, Super Meat Boy 3D, and several indie games: Damon and Baby, a twin-stick shooter from Arc System Works; Parseword, a new daily word game from the Wordle creator; and Raccoin, a coin pusher roguelike for fans of Balatro and quarter machines. Later in the show, we ask Marcus if his new PS5 Pro was worth the purchase. The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.
