With the release of Stray on PC and PlayStation consoles, the debate about how a game’s story should be told has started once again. Many people love to be completely immersed in the experience, with others wanting to ensure the option to be handheld as they work through the experience does not go away. In the latest episode of the Pixels and Ink Podcast, Eduard, Dayna, Chris and Brendan dive into the topic and see what really makes sense going forward.
Beyond this, the news of the full TIFF 2022 lineup is finally here, so the crew takes some time to delve into the list, how the festival is different this year, and what we all hope to see as in-person events are slowly coming back.
