GTA is back in the spotlight, and we finally have an extended look at one of the most anticipated games of all time!

On this episode of the It Just Works Podcast, Ryan breaks down everything that stood out from the latest GTA showing, from the insane level of detail and open world to the characters, gameplay, and whether Rockstar is actually about to raise the bar again.

Then, we dive into Gears of War: E-Day and the return of Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago. With its darker atmosphere, brutal combat, and focus on the early days of the Locust invasion, could E-Day be the return to form Gears fans have been waiting for?

Finally, Elden Ring is making its way to Nintendo Switch 2! We talk about how FromSoftware’s massive RPG translates to Nintendo’s new hardware, the compromises that may come with it, and what games like Elden Ring could mean for the future of third-party support on Switch 2.

GTA. Gears. Elden Ring. We’ve got a PACKED episode.

💀 Why Alex loves the ODST

Thanks for listening, and as always — it just works

After 55 hours with Halo: Campaign Evolved, I’ve seen just about everything this game has to offer — and it’s finally time to give my verdict.

In episode #224, I break down the full experience: the campaign, gameplay, visuals, changes from the original, what works, what doesn’t, and whether this reimagining actually captures what made Halo special in the first place.

There’s a lot I loved, a few things that surprised me, and some decisions I’m still not completely sold on. But after spending more than two full days of my life in this game, I think I know exactly where Halo: Campaign Evolved stands.

Was it worth the wait? Did it live up to the legacy of Combat Evolved? And most importantly — is this the direction Halo should be heading?

Let’s talk about it.
