From narrative-driven psychological dread to high-stakes PvP design and elusive development cycles, this episode breaks down the updates and fan conversations that matter most.We kick things off with Cthulhu: Cosmic Abyss, the narrative-focused Lovecraftian adventure from Big Bad Wolf Studio. Set in a world of creeping madness and forbidden knowledge, the game leans heavily into investigation, atmosphere, and player choice rather than action-heavy combat. We dig into what’s been revealed so far, how it fits alongside other Cthulhu adaptations, and why fans of slow-burn, story-first experiences are cautiously excited about its emphasis on psychological horror and moral consequences.Next, we move into Marathon, Bungie’s revival of its classic franchise reimagined as a sci-fi extraction shooter. Set on the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV, Marathon centers on squad-based survival, PvP encounters, and Bungie’s trademark gunplay wrapped in a bold, stylized aesthetic. We break down community reactions, concerns over the lack of a traditional single-player campaign, comparisons to Tarkov-style games, and why the project has sparked equal parts hype and skepticism among longtime Bungie fans.We close things out with Pragmata, Capcom’s mysterious sci-fi title that continues to intrigue despite multiple delays. Following an astronaut and a powerful android girl navigating a hostile lunar facility, Pragmata blends third-person action with real-time hacking mechanics. We talk about what Capcom has shown, why fans remain patient but wary, and how the game’s ambition could either make it a standout new IP or another cautionary tale of prolonged development.If cosmic dread, competitive sci-fi survival, and ambitious new ideas are your thing, Episode 71 delivers.#videogamepodcast #gamingnews #cthulhucosmicabyss #cthulhugame #marathongame #bungiemarathon #pragmata
