In this episode of The Gaming Duo, Rob (@ridicrob) and Kelvin (@foxphotons) tackle the ever-growing problem every gamer faces: the backlog. Why do we keep adding games we never finish? Is it our fault, or is modern gaming to blame? We break it all down and share our own plans to finally take control of our game libraries.

We also dive into the major reveal of Battlefield 6. After years of ups and downs, is this the return to form fans have been waiting for? We give our full thoughts on the multiplayer gameplay trailer and what it means for the series.

Plus, we react to the official Darksiders 4 announcement and what excites us about seeing all four Horsemen together at last.

Welcome to The Gaming Duo, the show where friendships are built through gaming. Hosted by Kelvin Rolon and Rob aka Ridiculous Rob, we dive into the conversations that matter most to gamers.

This week, we explore a major shift in game design: are developers moving away from bloated open worlds? With games like Expedition 33 and Mafia: Old Country leaning into more focused, narrative-driven experiences, we break down what’s behind this trend—from player fatigue to rising dev costs—and what it could mean for the future of AAA games.

We also cover key news: Hideki Kamiya wants to remake Devil May Cry, and Sega is teasing a big update for the Virtua Fighter series.
