  • [PREVIEW] Skydive - Ep. 5: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
    Jan 16 2026

    This month, the Skydive team discuss Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. Join us as we don the mantle of the Belmont clan and their whip-wielding prowess once more, delving deep into this 1993 PC-Engine game and digging into why it's so beloved. We'll be going through the full suite of mechanics and levels, the stories of Rondo and the greater Castlevania, as well as commiserating over the shared misery that is the Clock Tower level and its bat bridge.

  • [PREVIEW] Skydive - Ep. 4: F.E.A.R.
    Nov 10 2025

    This month, the Skydive team discuss F.E.A.R. - First Encounter Assault Recon, the 2005 horror FPS masterpiece from Monolith Productions!

    Join Kris, Brian, Lucas and Will as they discuss who the villain truly is, in this Japanese-horror-inspired, Western-developed anomaly. Revisiting it, we elevate several weapons to the "all-time" pantheon, discuss the power of the first game and Extraction Point, the missteps made by the sequels, and ponder what the modern games industry would be like if F.E.A.R. 2 had been a hit.

  • [PREVIEW] Skydive - Ep. 3: Bastion
    Oct 24 2025

    This month, the Skydive team discuss Bastion, the 2011 action RPG debut from Supergiant Games!

    Join Kris, Brian, Lucas and Will as they piece together a broken world in order to build the device that can save it -- or if it should be saved at all. There's many a discussion about how the concept of a narrator not only is the cornerstone of the game, but also the means by which it intentionally obscures the core of its narrative depth.
