What games deserve a sequel, remake, reboot, or adaptation? In this episode of High Scores High Stakes, we're joined by husband-and-wife gaming duo Flimosh and SierraKilo89 to talk about the games we'd love to see brought back to life.

From long-forgotten classics that deserve modern remakes to dream sequels that should already exist, we dive into our gaming wish lists and debate which current games deserve another chance. We also explore adaptations from other IPs, discussing the movies, TV shows, books, and franchises we'd love to see transformed into incredible video games.

• Dream video game remakes and remasters
• Sequels we desperately want to see

Bennett Foddy's Baby Steps is brutal, slow, and deliberately frustrating. So why can't we stop playing it? We dig into what the game is really doing to players, why it works, and what it says about pain as design.

In this Deep Dive, we break down Baby Steps from every angle: the design choices that make failure feel personal, why the game continuously punishes you, and how the game is an exercise in frustration and patience.

We talk about what "fun" even means when a game is engineered to frustrate and why some players bounce off immediately whilst others get hooked for hours, and what Baby Steps has in common with Foddy's earlier works like GWOP.

Whether you rage-quit, can't put it down or just trying to decide whether its the game for you...we are asking the real question...is Baby Steps genius or just too damn frustrating to enjoy?

Can the right video game actually help you survive a heatwave?

In this episode of High Scores High Stakes, we each pick the games we'd recommend for the hottest days of the year—but not always for the reasons you'd expect. From snowy landscapes and water parks to psychological horror, our choices are based on one simple goal: finding the perfect game to beat the heat.

Expect plenty of debate, questionable logic, and some surprisingly convincing arguments as we reveal our ultimate heatwave gaming picks.

In this episode, we discuss:

• the best video games to play during a heatwave
• unique gaming recommendations
• games that help you escape the summer
• unforgettable settings and immersive worlds
• and which game we'd choose to cool down with

Can a horror game make you feel cooler? Is a virtual water park the next best thing to the real one? And does escaping to the snow count as cheating?

Hit play and let us know which video game you'd choose to survive the summer heat.
