This week, the boys explore the juicy and brutal Shady Knight by Alexey Sigh (@cptnsigh on twitter). The game’s hectic but satisfying first-person sword combat prompts a discussion of camera perspective, melee combat, and spatial awareness in action games. This discussion causes a few realizations, including the revelation that DOOM 2016 has perhaps more in common with a melee action game than other first person shooters, and that Skyrim’s combat is, indeed, pretty boring.
