In Episode 3 of Pixel & Meeple, we're diving headfirst into the Force…
From Knights of the Old Republic to Counter-Strike LAN battles, this episode is packed with retro gems, modern classics, and fierce “Save or Game Over” choices that may hurt your soul.
We cover:
Jedi Academy chaos and nostalgia
KOTOR as the gold standard in RPG storytelling
Counter-Strike LAN party glory (and humiliations)
Star Wars Outer Rim — smugglers, bounties, and poor Lobot
Jedi Fallen Order and what makes it feel right
Heat: Pedal to the Metal — fast-paced Formula 1 board game goodness
Rainbow Six & Project IGI — tactical throwbacks with squad-planning madness
And of course… we hit you with a brutal round of Save, Retry or Game Over — who gets cut this time?
