The Staying In Podcast - four pals talk video games, board games, movies, and nonsense Staying In

It’s back to the good old PlayStation One days with reviews of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered: Starring Lara Croft (Aspyr) and PSX horror Incident at Grove Lake (ToothandClaw). Then there’s thoughts on Accomplices (Hachette), the PlayStation Portal (Sony), and Cards vs Gravity (Big Potato Games). All that, and the best things from the 90s, on Ep198.

With three absolutely massive topics; a review of Assassin’s Creed Mirage (Ubisoft), a review of Dune: Part 2, and a look at Pocket Quest 2024 (DriveThruRPG). All that, with a very British opening, on Ep197.

We’re back from AireCon 2024, we’re playing Monster of the Week (Evil Hat) and CDSK (Hachette) and Flip, Switch and Roll (Word of Mouth Games), and we’re previewing Nunatak: Temple of Ice (Kosmos). All that, and an ineffective whistle on Ep196.

Big reviews of escape room video game Escape Academy by Coin Crew Games and Ravensburger’s Tolkien-em-up The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game, plus thoughts on MugenGaming’s Kiri-ai: The Duel. All that, and many more…? on Ep195.

Reviews of the criminally good District Noir and cosy-coastguard-em-up Beacon Patrol from Pandasaurus, an early peek at the retro-tinged horror from Headware Games’ Hollowbody, the superb search action of Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and spending a sultry couple of hours with Grant Howitt’s Sexy Battle Wizards. All that, and the bleep button, on Ep194.

We kick off by precisely defining “a Tesco”, then it’s board game reviews of Shifting Stones (Gamewright) and Thunder Road: Vendetta (Restoration Games), and from the world of video games it’s thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077 (CD Projekt Red) and Inscryption (Daniel Mullins Games). All that, and snowboarding, on Ep193.
