Step into the world of gaming with Scott and RGT as they hold down the fort while George enjoys his honeymoon! This week's episode is bursting with unexpected gaming gems and headline-making industry news that will have you reaching for your wallet.

Ever wondered what it would be like if Red Dead Redemption and Stardew Valley had a baby? Look no further than Cattle Country, a pixel-art farming simulator set in 1891 that has completely captivated RGT. Starting with nothing but a tent, you'll grow crops, brew beer, and even fight off bandits with your trusty revolver. It's a refreshing take on the farming sim genre that doesn't overwhelm players with complexity while still offering depth and engagement.

The hosts also dive into their experiences with Donkey Kong Bonanza, praising its destructible environments and creative level design, while Scott shares his renewed appreciation for Harvestella on the Switch 2, noting significant performance improvements that make the JRPG/farming hybrid shine in its new home.

Horror fans will be thrilled by the announcement of a new Hellraiser game coming to PS5, featuring the original Pinhead actor Doug Bradley and a story guided by creator Clive Barker himself. Plus, with massive summer sales happening on both Nintendo eShop and Xbox, Scott meticulously breaks down the best deals, including 90% off Little Nightmares 2 and 85% off the award-winning Spiritfarer.
