This week on Checkpoint Chat, Sandy and Matty take a trip to a 3D-printed moon in Pragmata, Housemarque is back and better than ever with its fast-paced shooter, Saros, and where else would you find Hideo Kojima, Gabe Newell, and Reggie Fils-Aimé on an island other than Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream?

00:51:54​ - Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is so silly (and we love it)
01:00:18​ - What does Kojima do all day?

In a bumper episode of Checkpoint Chat we share our thoughts on Resident Evil Requiem, some concerns over the launch of Marathon, the exceptional challenge of climbing adventure Cairn, the mediocrity of God of War: Sons of Sparta, the absolute BS that is Bilewater in Hollow Knight Silksong, and the delightful joy of being cat Mario in Bowser's Fury.
