Episodic Gaming

Video Games

This week on the show, Archer is running things while Luke is away! Jakob and Fin join him to discuss all things episodic gaming. Over the last few years in particular this trend of a genre has picked up, largely due to the huge success of the Telltale games, including The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, The Wolf Among Us and more. These games focus on story and character based choices rather than heavy hitting action gameplay. The boys discuss their favourites and what they like about the format.

Also on the show, Fin has been loving his time with Blizzard’s new crazy multiplayer release Overwatch while Jakob has been getting his strategy RPGing back in fine form with the newly released in Australia, Fire Emblem Fates. Don’t miss any of the fun!
