Welcome to Pixels and Polygons. This is a conversational podcast hosted by Darren Hupke. It features a rotating cast of guests each week and captures a conversation on a set gaming topic. Each episode starts with an introduction of the guest and an icebreaker; then, we answer a single gaming question. Short and sweet! It’s the perfect “podcast-between-podcasts!” This week’s topic is…
What is an example of a game that is “just right?” It could be its length, difficulty, challenge, style, or combination of it all. What did it get right?
