The Lag New Game+

The recent long late-summer days had us thinking of indie adventure game A Short Hike...so we played it! In this episode, Alex and Olly are joined by video producer at Dialect and co-host of Endure & Survive, Ellen Causey, to discuss the brilliance of indie games, the poignancy of an anti-climax, and the fun of exploring an island full of real, rude, and relatable characters.

Yo ho, yo ho, it's a pirate life for we! We here at New Game+, that is, where this month we sail The Lag into Sea of Thieves. With Alex locked in the brig, Olly takes over hosting duties with TechRadar writer, Pal Keys podcaster, and freelancer Daryl Baxter. They chat Daryl's history with games, the thrill of the open seas multiplayer, and why you're more than likely to spot Daryl flying through the sky E.T. style while aboard.
