Electronic Wireless Show Ep 56 - The Gamescom Special 2018 - a podcast by Rock Paper Shotgun

We're in Cologne! It's Gamescom, the yearly games show, where we've been looking at Cyberpunk 2077, Metro Exodus, Biomutant, Dying Light 2, Ape Out, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot and many more.

We recorded this after the first day of the show, in an echoey hotel room, so apologies for the sound quality. We’ve since played Sekiro, Anthem, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, Battlefield V, and lots more. So keep an eye out for more write-ups and videos at rockpapershotgun.com.
