GameEngineStart Podcast - Pouring Bleach Into A Phone

Episode 279

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Duration 01:40:10

Calum caved and bought into the early access of Heroes of Might and Magic: The Olden Era. We all knew he would.

We both discuss 007: First Light and if IO Interactive can really pull off a more directed single player game. Spoilers, they absolutely can.
