It’s week 2 of Game of the Year, baby! We ran through all of our categories, such as our favorite character, our favorite gaming ecosystem, the character we’d most like to punch in the face, and many more. Enjoy one of our longest episodes of the year, and return for next week where we reveal our top 5 personal and site games of the year!
Wive Fwom Bwookwyn - Ep. 206
I want you to think back for a moment on a game that you played when you were younger. Particularly, a game that you love and you hold close to your heart. A game that warms your heart and soul; one that puts a smile on your face as you reminisce of the times that you spent exploring that world. You’ve got one? Good.
Now I want you to be objective for a moment. Try your best to remove all of the nostalgia that you feel for the game. Does that story hold up now? What elements about that story make it hold up and stay relevant? What elements of the story make it feel dated?
On this week’s episode, we attempted to answer that question to the best of our ability, as we wanted to discuss what elements of a story keep it relevant and what elements don’t lend itself to the present. We talked about Ghost of Tsushima, Untitled Goose Game, Necrobarista, and the new Battletoads game. We rounded up the show with some social media polls and some general silliness.
We hope that you enjoy the show, and that you have a lovely week!
