GI Show – Persona 5, Splatoon 2, Andromeda Game Club
We have a lot to get through on this episode of Game Informer's podcast. First up, reviewer Joe Juba and superfan Dan Tack tell us why Persona 5 is one of the best JRPGs in years. Then Kyle Hilliard shares his impressions of playing more Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo Switch before Javy Gwaltney, Elise Favis, and Ben Reeves pop in to talk about the modernized throwback to adventure games with Thimbleweed Park. Then we take a full dive into Dan Tack's brain, with him sharing impressions of Dark Souls III's final piece of DLC and the intense PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Steam. After some great community emails, we kick off our thorough GI Game Club discussion on the divisive Mass Effect: Andromeda.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
