In 2019 we played a lot of games. Some of them were brilliant classics that easily stood the test of time. Others were mediocre and outdated, and deservedly forgotten. Most of them, however, fall somewhere in between - excelling in certain areas while failing in others.
On this episode, we seek to highlight the absolute best aspects of these games...but also the worst, most soul crushing parts. Which game had the best graphics? Which game had the worst music? What was the most soul crushing individual moment? These are the highs and lows of Season 1 of the Retro Spectives Podcast.

On this episode, we discuss:
What is it that makes a good story? Good characters, plot, theming, or just plain old fun?
What is it that constitutes gameplay? Something purely mechanical, or something far more holistic?
Is there any topic that we can respectfully disagree on, or do we always insist that a given opinion is superior to another? (of course we do, duh)
We answer these questions and many more on the 27th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!
