Jamie, Tom and Marsh head out into the wild blue yonder and talk about 3 open world games - Assassin's Creed: Shadows, Atomfall and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

Three images illustrating the games discussed in the episode: a piece of paper with the words 'Type Help' drawn on For 1000xresist, an anime style close up of a woman's face, she has blue hair and a large x bisecting her features, giving her one red eye and one yellow as well as splashes of red over her features. For Pathologic 3, a creepy white man with black hair and a grubby biege jacket looks over his shoulder.

Marsh and Jamie go completely bang bang fire for '1000xresist', as well as reporting back on the nightmarish joys of 'Pathologic 3: Quarantine', and the wonderful (and free) informational murder mystery game 'Type Help'.
