Welcome back to the Game Surgeons Podcast, a podcast series where we DISSECT video game mechanics and the way that they interact and intersect with both each other and the narrative being told.

Join Kyle and Shane (and sometimes others) as they make an incision to observe the still beating heart of video games. Too much? Each fortnight, Kyle and Shane will pick a game from their extensive libraries and pull it apart to see what makes it work.

In episode 12 we get territorial. Splatter up and paint the town red as we take an in-depth look at the stage control mechanics in Splatoon 2.

If you enjoyed the sultry tones and well-informed opinions expressed in this episode, stick around for the next episode where things get emotional. Neither of us broke down crying, but we did take a look into Life is Strange: True Colours.
