Games Aktuell Podcast 723: Evergreens, canceled masterpieces and Kojima’s “The Boys”

In this issue, co-host Maci Naeem Cheema, who fills in for our vacationer Matthias Dammes, Chris Fussy and Katharina Pache talk about a variety of topics. On the one hand, the trio chats about the latest news. Hideo Kojima and the Amazon superhero series “The Boys” have come closer – is there anything going on? Also discussed is Singapore developer Fntastic’s questionable attitude towards unpaid workers. The developers of the long-awaited title The Day Before have even teamed up for a opinion through – does that make a difference and, more importantly, what do we think about it?

Our big topic, on the other hand, is the long-term motivation of video games, which are eternal companions in everyday life. Some of them are endless, like Minecraft, FIFA or Stardew Valley, while others simply have a very special charm that inspires again and again. Finally, it’s also about games that are generally classified as masterpieces and that left us cold. The list could hardly be more controversial! Among other things, there are titles like The Last of Us, Elden Ring, Ghost of Tsushima and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on it. whoops
