Episode 221: The Biggest and the Baddest

Video games often include boss encounters. Whether to mark the end of a stage, test a player's competence, or make a large narrative beat; there's no shortage of memorable confrontations and climactic showdowns. They can be the source of a game's most memorable moments, and most unforgivable frustrations. Matt & Gen discuss what makes for a fun boss encounter, what sticks in our minds after the conflict ends, and how far is too far of a setback when the challenge proves too much? We have a Patreon!
