Antagonists aren’t just moustache-twirling masterminds—they’re the blizzard that buries you, the friend who calls your bluff, the code of honour that trips your hero. In the first half of our conversation, Matt, Jem, and Alex debunk the myth that antagonists are inherently evil and explore every flavour of narrative resistance, from tragic rivals to the environment itself.

Antagonist ≠ Villain

Sentience is over-rated?

We talk God of War, The Last of Us Part II, Uncharted 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Resident Evil: Village.

Grey zones, tropes and predicatability.

Frameworks for building memorable foes in games, film and fiction

Hit Play to explore why antagonists may be the real game heroes — and come back next week for Part 2.
