It has been a jam-packed week of video games here at Game Informer<\/em> and at large. We reviewed Borderlands 4, interviewed the developers behind it on The Game Informer Show<\/em><\/a> <\/em>this week ahead of its launch, got our butts kicked in Silksong (again and again), and survived the onslaught that was today’s Nintendo Direct.<\/p>\n

As you might expect, we here at Game Informer <\/em>love playing video games, and we love writing about them because it’s our best way of speaking directly to you \u2013 our audience. We enjoy sharing the games we’re loving, \u00a0the ones we’re not, what titles fascinate us, what we’re looking forward to, and occasionally, what we had for lunch (carne asada is back at Chipotle, so I indulged in a burrito there today). We used to do a weekly series called Weekend Warrior, where we discussed what we’re planning to play in the forthcoming weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’re still experimenting with bringing something <\/em>like that back to the site, but we want to go deeper. We don’t want to just talk ad nauseam about the games we’re playing (which often include embargoed stuff where we have to annoyingly\/cheekily call it REDACTED), but instead, use this space to highlight interesting things happening in games you might have missed, new perspectives we’ve gained on old favorites, reminders about upcoming titles, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this edition, you’ll find words from Game Informer <\/em>editors about why now might be a great time to jump back into Marvel Rivals if you haven’t in a minute, the strange (and normal) ways we play Hollow Knight: Silksong, what it’s like watching someone else <\/em>play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and yes, a quick tease about an upcoming first-party PlayStation 5 game we can’t talk too much about yet. So without further ado:\u00a0<\/p>\n
