Episode 101 – Designing Westworld as a Video Game

We’re back after a brief hiatus following episode 100. In this episode, our feature topic is an analysis of the game design found in the HBO series Westworld. Is it possible to create the same open-ended experience in a video game? Plus, Jim explores Raptur–er Talos I in Prey, Chris revels in news of Sonic Forces, and we present a new Reading List segment!
