Hellblade, Unity, and rhythm games (Digitally Uploaded 2017, Episode #29)

Last week Hellblade was released, and it absolutely blew us away with the way it treated mental illness, and various other themes within the game. We kick off this week's podcast exploring just how that game impacted on us, and how incredibly different it is to almost anything else we've played before.

Then we talk about game engines, briefly, and the nonsense reputation that Unity has at the moment. Too many people see the Unity logo and immediately assume that the game is poor quality, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

Finally we chat about rhythm games; what we like in a good rhythm game, and why we like it. And wow do we like a bunch of different rhythm games.
