VGBC: Tears of the Kingdom – Part 5: Is the Story Broken? – JK! Games! Podcast


Listen Later

In Part 5 of our Tears of the Kingdom Book Club, we’re deep enough into the game to start asking the tough questions… like, is this story actually working?

Kayla and Jerica catch up on their progress and explore how the game’s environmental design shapes the way you play. Then, we dive into a thoughtful — and maybe spicy — conversation about how the narrative is structured, whether it lands, and how non-linear storytelling might be doing more harm than good.

00:16:00 Last Week’s Checkpoint

Listener Question of the Week:
“What is more important to you: gameplay or story — and why?”
We read your answers and unpack where we stand.
