Considering it was a brand-new intellectual property, Horizon Zero Dawn succeeded beyond what most publishers would have expected. The Backtrack crew return to explain just why it was a success.
In this special bonus Q&A Quest, a guest from the podcast’s past pays a visit. This first of two episodes features discussion on all things Zelda and Dragon Quest.
Meanwhile, the second, regularly scheduled episode of Q&A Quest features many Simpsons references. The hosts also discuss how dark Magical Starsign is.
There wasn’t much news to discuss, but there are many games out this week. The RPGCast’s guests didn’t play any of them, though. Alice visited Space Station 13, Kelley went back into World of Warcraft, Anna Marie checked out Dragon Quest III, and Chris was still playing Final Fantasy IV.
