It’s more than usual for the boys this week, as Nox branches out to creative crafting survival games and Fox gets serious with Team Fight Tactics. After an homage to the arcade classics, it’s time to say farewell to the show. Thank you so much for listening to two friends talk about their passion for video games.

There are new titles releases every single day in the gaming industry, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for games to retain the players they have from jumping the boat. This week we talk about player retention strategies that have worked, haven’t worked and everything in between.

These days it’s not just about whether or not games have good graphics, but modern game development now allows the liberty to style the art of the game. Whether it’s pixel art, cell shading, photo-realism or something unique the aesthetic of the game plays a role in its players’ interaction.

Nowadays, it seems like every release is a “revisit” of an original title being redone in some way. The boys dig into the good and the bad of remasters, remakes, and reboots of old games.

VR Gaming! Is it a fad? Is it the future? Nox and Fox discuss their experience with VR gaming and of course wacky news that is out and about as well!
