The State of Gaming October 2021: Far Cry, Metroid Dread, Back 4 Blood, The Dark Pictures, Inscryption, NPD, and the Uncharted Movie

It’s The State of Gaming Podcast, Popzara’s in-depth look at what’s shaking up the gaming landscape delivered on a monthly basis. Our hosts Cory Galliher and Nate Evans guide you through the best, worst, and everything else making headlines and headway in the world of interactive entertainment.

Despite showing up in the month of spookiness and Halloween there’s still plenty of chills and thrills awaiting gamers for the month. Ubisoft’s Far Cry 6 proves even t-shirt wearing crocodiles can be amigos, Nintendo’s Metroid Dread closes the near 20 year-gap between sequels, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is hopefully better than The Avengers (it wouldn’t be hard), Warner Bros’ Back 4 Blood brings Left 4 Dead back 2 life, and Microsoft’s Age of Empires IV wants to merge real-time strategy with history once again.

Bandai Namco’s The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes keeps the horror franchise going and Nintendo’s Mario Party Superstars brings the 64-bit party to the Switch. Have you heard of Devolver Digital’s Inscryption? You probably should.
