Not Without Merit Podcast

Jake is unfortunately out sick this week (Get well soon!), but Mike and Ben have played plenty of games to make up for it. Mike has finished Songbringer and INSIDE, while almost completing Mr. Shifty and a few hours into Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Ben is nearing the end of Celeste, making his way through Yakuza Kiwami, and spending time with the arcade classic, NBA Jam.

In news we have the announcement of the follow up to Alien: Isolation, a Hitman HD Collection, Ubisoft putting their upcoming titles on the Epic Games Store, and a timed demo for Resident Evil 2.

Instead of a Top 5 this week, we take a look at the NFL playoffs and make our predictions on who will win the Super Bowl!

Sickness is tearing through the show as it claims Jake as this week’s victim, thankfully Ben has recovered and we hope Jake will soon! Mike has dove deeper into Hitman 2 and to no surprise is loving every bit of it, he started The Crew 2 with positive reviews so far, and of course has played a ton of both Black Ops 4 and Fallout 76. Ben has played a bunch of Black Ops 4 and Fallout 76 as well, along with more Red Dead Redemption 2, but still has not completed the story.

The end of November brings us the PS+ games for December, future updates for Blackout mode in Black Ops 4, how Bethesda will handle future communication on the updates of Fallout 76, the trademarks of a new Alien game, and Guacamelee 2 heading to Switch, Xbox One, and PC.
