355: The Beginner's Guide
Episode | May 5th, 2022 | 2 hrs 3 mins
In 2022, you can play a video game about almost anything. So why is it most games are about how friends are good and honor is nice? Can robots feel? Been there, done that.
The Beginner's Guide is a follow up to the wildly successful (and hilarious) The Stanley Parable dares to ask deeper and more personal questions about art and criticism. It's thematically rich and textually complex. Viva!

WOFF 354 Preview: Deathloop
Episode | April 21st, 2022 | 1 hr 3 mins

Kill everyone on Reddit Island Fyrefest! Using superpowers and time travel. What a pitch!
It's no secret we're big fans of Arkane, which makes Deathloop exceedingly interesting in both it's triumphs and failures. The apotheosis of density in level design saddled with awkward invasion mechanics from Dark Souls. A timeloop element that works wonderfully in terms of narrative but hampers the pace of play. Deathloop is a game with incredibly high highs but also low lows. Take and listen and see.

352: The Shrouded Isle
Episode | April 7th, 2022 | 1 hr 41 mins
Thank you Randall! Check out Crashcoral.com! (pw: crashcoral).
Oh, a cult simulator/management game with heavy lovecraftian elements, striking minimalist art, and a roguelike structure. Did someone leave this under a box with a stick tied to a string, trying to trap both Gary and Kole?
Not so fast. The Shrouded Isle has some potential and some genuinely good aesthetics, but the game is so barebones and numbers based as to pose an existential question: how much flavor, depth, and context do games actually need to be successful?

Episode | March 31st, 2022 | 2 hrs 10 mins
This week we talk about a new spectrum on which we can analyze games: is it prescriptive, or is it permissive?
