Call of Duty: Vanguard and Forza Horizon 5 Review Impressions | GI Show [Game Informer]
In this week’s episode of The Game Informer Show, the crew discusses the three pillars of Call Of Duty: Vanguard: multiplayer, zombies, and, unfortunately, a lackluster campaign. In a positive turn, we share our Forza Horizon 5 review impressions and talk about how the series continues to shine. Wesley and Jill join the Alexes to discuss the news of Uncharted’s former Creative Director, Amy Hennig, working on a narrative-driven game in the Marvel universe.

Or does the first-person shooter stand out amidst its end-of-year competition? Dan Tack and Alex Stadnik break down the shortcomings of the game's single-player campaign while praising its multiplayer offerings.

Brian Shea joins the podcast to share why Forza Horizon V is his favorite racing game ever made, Kimberly Wallace talks about the highs and lows of Shin Megami Tensei V, and Blake Hester details why Riders Republic fails to properly understand the culture its trying to imitate (those downhill races are great, though.)
