In this week’s episode of The Game Informer Show, our editor-in-chief, Matt Miller, joins Alex and Marcus to discuss why Marvel Rivals has grown on us and how it’s shaking up the Overwatch formula. Next, the crew dives into some of July’s best indie games, including Dungeons of Hinterberg, Arranger, and Thank Goodness You’re Here — okay, that last one technically releases today, August 1st, but I played and beat it during July via a pre-release copy. Finally, Marcus dives into Silent Hill 2 (2001) and Forestrike, the follow-up to 2021’s pixel art action title, Olija.
