Willow Guard, Blue Prince & Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster - Neighborhood Watch

Show Notes

Welcome back to the Neighborhood! In this Neighborhood Watch episode, Andrew and Dylan catch up on everything they’ve been playing (and thinking about) in this busy gaming season.

Andrew dives deep into indie gem Willow Guard, breaking down its ambitious blend of hack-and-slash combat, deck-building, and choice-driven storytelling—with a healthy dose of badgers and Witcher-meets-Redwall vibes. Dylan gives a spoiler-free overview of Blue Prince, the viral escape-room-meets-roguelike puzzler that has him hooked and jotting down clues in his notes app. The two also chat about the surprise Oblivion remaster drop, comparing it to other recent shadow drops and reflecting on the staying power of classic RPGs.

Stick around as they read out what the Friendly Neighborhood Gamers Discord community has been playing—featuring everything from Witcher 3, Expedition 33, and Ocarina of Time to classic fighting games and even Dragon Quest V.

If you’re looking for laid-back, real-world game talk and a window into what’s hot right now, this episode is for you!
