The PC Gaming Weekspot: Loop Hero! Xbox Bethesda! Square Enix Presents Speculation! Other Stuff!
151This week, we chat about whether Xbox Bethesda will be that different to not Xbox Bethesda, we chat about what we might see at Square Enix’s Square Enix Presents showcase, and we also have two reviews for you, a relatively timely Loop Hero review, and a not quite as timely Olija review. The PC Gaming Weekspot is the only video games video podcast you need in your life if you’re looking for some lovely PC gaming news and some wonderful PC gameplay. It’s time for your recap of the last seven… or fourteenish days in PC video gaming.
📺 Loop Hero was featured in our new PC games out in March video. Check out the rest: https://youtu.be/DN0k2jMFRrU

Two weeks have passed since the last episode of The PC Gaming Weekspot, so we’ve a lot to get through, leading to some large Information Snacks, as well as our regular Headlines and Hot Takes. In the past week, the biggest news story was definitely Bethesda Microsoft becoming an official thing, so we go in deep on what this means for both companies, and how Xbox Bethesda will fare going forward. We also chat about what Square Enix might have planned for their upcoming Square Enix Presents showcase. Also, in Tech Corner, we discuss some nightmare facial tracking in virtual reality.
Show and Tell focuses on Four Quarters hit new game, Loop Hero. It’s a tough one to describe, because there aren’t many others like it, so it’s quite handy that you’ll get to see some Loop Hero gameplay during this Loop Hero review. But, the main thing you need to know about the game is that it’s one of this year’s best, so far. Also, Colm brings the Prince Of Persia-like from a few months back, Olija, to the table, so you’ll get a bonus Olija review, and you’ll see the magical harpoon in action in some Olija gameplay.
This week’s Mystery Steam Reviews is an easy one to explain, as it’s all about games with female protagonists. A simple theme doesn’t mean this one isn’t rife with arguments, though. And we round out the show by opening The Weekspot mailbag to answer your Burning Questions on funny games, how we pronounce words, and whether we prefer this or that.
