Sound-bytes are our shorter episodes about what we’ve been up to recently. We've been recording our year end / year beginning episodes and this Sound-byte continues our tradition of reviewing our gaming predictions from the start of 2021.
Welcome to 2021. A new year, a new set of video games to look forward to. As is Octal FM tradition, in today's episode we give you a rundown of all the games we're looking forward to in 2021.
Games we discuss:
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey
Cyberpunk 2077 <trollface>
Back 4 Blood
Warhammer 40k: Darktide
Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Horizon Forbidden West
We also talk more generally about the state of video games, and touch on a few other games in the process.
In this episode Sefran tells a bit of a story. A story of trying to introduce video games to someone who has really...never...played...video games. He tried a whole bunch of games and tactics, but what didn't and what did work may surprise you.
In this episode we discuss some of our favourite video game worlds to get lost in. We reminisce about some worlds we've not visited for a while, and we discuss what it means for a game world to be 'immersive'.
