The Crate and Crowbar

Episode 188: West, Aft, South And Down

Listen Later

Chris, Tom F, Tom S, and bonus Pip discuss Prey! Lots of Prey. Lots o’ Prey. Also: Risk of Rain, Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry rumours, gimbal lock, and fascinating regional WASD.

Give that toaster an extension cable.

  • Hopoo Games’ Risk of Rain 2 translates a 2D roguelike to all three dimensions.
  • Assassin’s Creed: Origins. Really?
  • Prey has its ups and downs, but we like it enough to talk about it for most of this episode.
  • Odward Frenry sent us a question about ludonarrative dissonance as a muppet video.
  • Here’s a video about gimbal lock and why it’s a problem in space, which is definitely the question you asked.
