Ep.22 – Splinter Cell: Blacklist & Intravenous 2: Stealth Games Double Feature
<p>Much like making a podcast without being listened to, there's something innately satisfying about creeping through the shadows without being seen. The Last of Us Part 2 kicked us back into a stealth mode and reminded us of the simpler pleasures in life like going prone in tall grass and occasionally making people stop moving. Stealth games, it turns out, are pretty dope, but there actually just aren't that many of them these days. We talk about why we think that is, what happened to the genre, what makes for a good stealth system, whether or not we're on the cusp of a utopian sneaky-mans-eliminating genre revival, and a couple games we've been digging lately - Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and Intravenous 2 (a killer indie spiritual successor).

Ep.21 – Metaphor: ReFantazio, Silent Hill 2, Disco Elysium Followups and More!
<p>So we uhh punted on Resident Evil 6 - we'll come back to it, I promise! - but we <em>did</em> hop on a couple huge, critically-acclaimed and fairly awesome big recent releases that we had to talk about. Josh has been diving into Metaphor: Refantazio, the new sprawling JRPG epic from the Persona devs, while Drew has been creeping ever-so-slowly through the thick fog and thicker dread of the Silent Hill 2 remake.</p> <p>We also do a quick check-in on some of the big recent news stories, including the Disco Elysium fracture studios, the Halo Studios rebranding & engine switch, and the sad downfall of plucky, down-on-their-luck indie developer Ubisoft.</p> <p>Thanks for listening!</p> <p>Support Bastard Sword by contributing to their tip jar: <a href="https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/bastard-sword" rel="payment nofollow">https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/bastard-sword</a></p>
