Value of a Game

Video Games

This week on the show, what makes a game valuable? Is it the time that it takes to play it? Is it the production values? Do expensive games have an obligation to provide a certain amount of gameplay, or is an emotional connection worth the cost?

Luke, Elliot, Rachel and Sav discuss what they think makes a game have good value, the difference between a long campaign and multiplayer, where expensive games fall down and why a game that gives you the feels can sometimes be the most valuable of all.

Lots of news this week, with sequels galore including Far Cry 5, The Crew 2, Life is Strange sequel and more! PLUS, some big reviews; Luke gets his zombie robot dismembering on with The Surge, Jimmy time-travels back to 1992 to review Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Velentia while Rachel presents her point-and-click thoughts on Syberia 3. It’s all here on another episode of your favourite video game show!
