Join the Revival Club

The 4Player Revival Club is an on-going community project that encourages members to nominate, vote, play, and discuss games of old! Every couple months, a member of the staff or community will curate a short list of games that the club will then vote on. When we have a winner, Nick will stream the game each week and a dedicated room is created in Discord where participants can discuss the game. At the end of each session, Nick will record a podcast with the curator and a guest from the club to talk about the game! To join, you can subscribe on Twitch or support us on Patreon at the $3 tier or higher.

Plat: Sony Playstation

Winning our latest poll which (curated by Brad) is the elusive but classic Playstation RPG, Vagrant Story. This game is often discussed in the same breath as Square's other powerhouse RPG series, Final Fantasy, and has stuck with people thanks to a timeless visual style that still looks stunning over two decades later.
