Pacific Drive

Grab some seat, we’re activating the hyperdrive to a galaxy far far away to discuss Jedi Survivor. Does it embrace the darkness or grow beyond the dichotomy of declaring a game to be good or bad. We discuss the power of nostalgia, AAA feature creep and why we’d do anything for Turgle.

We built this city on rain and rogues! This episode’s featured review is Against the Storm, the rogue lite city builder from Eremite Games. We discuss the merits of both genres and how they mix, rainpunk, bioessentialism and try to figure out if we’re the bad guys in this cycle of apocalyptic rain.
