What We Played #637 – Palworld, Prince of Persia & The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered
It’s been another frigid week here in the UK, so we’ve naturally taken the opportunity to stay inside as much as possible and play some video games. And since it’s the middle of January, that’s also meant playing games from before 2024… with a few notable exceptions.
One of those exceptions is The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, which was the main game that I spent time with this week to help with Gamoc with our review.

Still, he’s excited for some new ‘mon in the game, so “we’ll give it another chance to see if John Hanke has totally screwed the Poochyena or if there’s life in the game yet.”
Nick P’s on duty for our upcoming Tekken 8 review, but aside from that he’s continued on his run through Lies of P and a bit of Dead by Daylight.
There hasn’t been much gaming for Ade, but he’s lived vicariously through his son building enormous towers in Minecraft and his partner building enormous Dinosaur parks in
