Unique And Cool Video Game Mechanics

From portals to mind-breaking perspective puzzles video game developers have pushed the boundaries of how to play video games. Some games have fun game mechanics that add sound effects or change the physics of the game worlds, others change the game's difficulty to make the game harder for those looking for an extra challenge. This week the Heathens talk about their favourite video game mechanics. Matt doesn't like difficult games, Marissa likes choices, and Sacco brings up Halo.

Games we talk about this week: Infamous, The Last of Us, Call of Duty, Super Mario, Fez, Superliminal, View Finder, Portal, Middle Earth Shadow of War, Hades, Halo, Pokémon, Katamari, Burnout, and Fable.
