We're back with another fantastic episode of The Game Informer Show! Join us this week for a news-heavy pod, where we dive into The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sequel being delayed and the PlayStation Plus changes coming in June. That's not all, though, as we're also breaking down our time at the Game Developers Conference and our review impressions of Weird West, publisher Devolver Digital's exciting new immersive sim. As always, we end all the fun with another round of Listener Questions that Muppet fans won't want to miss!

Van Aken is here to chat about his review impressions of the latest Devolver Digital joint and highlights the game's interesting characters, strange yet alluring sci-fi world, and how the gameplay compliments this bizarre but enticing experience.

Topic of the Show:

GDC 2022 Impressions

For the first time in a long time, the Game Developers Conference was held in person, and the Incineroar of Indies Jill Grodt had the pleasure of attending. Join Jill as she talks about what it was like being back at a conference that holds special meaning to her, what games she got to play, and her overall impressions of the smaller experience. We also dissect one of GDC's biggest controversies: a prevalent former GI staff member...licking a burrito (I know, I'm sick too).
