GI Show – The Witness, Lego Avengers, Darkest Dungeon Interview
The cogs, pistons, and steam pipes of 2016's video game releases are slowly, steadily humming to life. This week marks the release of The Witness, the latest puzzler from Jonathan Blow, creator of Braid. Reviewer Joe Juba discusses his time wandering The Witness' peaceful island while working his way through hundreds of satisfyingly tricky puzzles. Andrew Reiner also joins us to talk about Traveler's Tales' latest, Lego Marvel's Avengers. Prepare for a discussion about a ton of Marvel c-listers that the developers have crammed in here. After a rip-roarin' email segment Ben Hanson and Dan Tack sit down with Red Hook Studio, part of the team behind Darkest Dungeon, to discuss the nitty and gritty of their brutal Lovecraftian dungeon crawler.

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.
