It's time to explore the weird side of gaming this week, in the latest Big Week in Gaming for 23 May 2021!

Join integot, Mike & Swinny as they cover Starfield being Xbox exclusive, a new TimeSplitters announced after 16 years, Nintendo locking fast travel behind an amiibo - and our impressions of the new brainpunk RPG Scarlet Nexus.

Besides all that, integot finally gets his hands on Jason Schreier's latest book Press Reset - and the whole crew has a go at the indie mingleplayer maso-core platformer Cruel World. Find out which of us just wants to watch the world burn...
