In this episode Jake and Tamer discuss what makes an action adventure game. They talk through the different kinds of genres that action adventure games covers as well as talk about their most memorable, and not so memorable.

They also talk briefly about Far Cry New Dawn, promising to play it together online, which they do! The stream can be found on mixer.com (https://mixer.com/dashboard/channel/vods) however, this stream may have expired. We will look to post past streams elsewhere.

They also talk about help in games, with Tamer specifically pointing to Terry Pratchett and his impact as a modder, with a lovely story about an in-game helper that helped him navigate the gaming world as his alzheimers got progressively worse. The story can be found here (with thanks to Eurogamer): http://bit.ly/2UJFjcR
