  • The Division 1 & 2 Deep Dive Review: Are They Still Worth Playing?
    2026/08/31

    The Division and The Division 2; two of Ubisoft’s most divisive looter-shooters.

    Are they still worth your time in 2026?

    In this deep dive, we’re revisiting both games in The Division series; the eerie, quarantined streets of New York in the original, and the political chaos of Washington D.C. in the sequel. We break down what each game got right, what didn’t hold up, and whether the franchise deserves more credit than it gets.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • The Division’s atmospheric, snowbound NYC and why it still holds up

    • The Division 2’s shift to D.C. and its post-collapse setting

    • Gear, builds, and endgame — how the loot systems compare

    • Whether the story and factions in either game actually land

    • Where the franchise stands now, and if a third entry could work

    Is The Division series underrated, or did it never quite live up to the hype?

    Let us know your take.

  • Games We Play As Parents: Lock in Or Chill Out? (174)
    2026/08/10

    Being a parent means gaming time can be hard to come by. After a full day of work, parenting, and everything else life throws at you, sometimes you just want to sit down, switch off, and play something that hits the spot.

    In this short episode of High Scores High Stakes, we’re talking about the games that work perfectly for parents — whether you’ve only got 20 minutes for a quick drop-in/drop-out session, or you’ve somehow found the energy to lock in for a massive online adventure.

    From chill, low-pressure games to those experiences that let you completely escape into another world, these are the games we turn to when the kids are finally in bed and it’s time to reclaim a little bit of gaming time.

    Because sometimes, surviving bedtime is the real boss fight.

  • Baby Steps Review: What Is This Game Doing To You?
    2026/07/27

    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?
