On This week's Chat Log, Lauren and Mollie round up some of 2024's hidden gems in PC gaming so far. We're a good chunk of the way through the year and you don't want to have missed some of our favorite things we've played so far this year. We've got surprisingly good platformers, at least one Disco Elysium-inspired RPG, and a co-op crafting game that even Lauren forgot to try.
