“The hosts don’t provide critical commentary on games so much as talk at length about their own personal tastes and experiences, speaking in constant hyperbolic generalisations like “X is a bad game that no one wants to play” and “everyone loved Y”. As someone who hasn’t played a lot of the games they discuss, it comes across as extremely juvenile and lacking in substance. Another point of contention for me is their articulation — both hosts, but especially Jackson, always sound like they’re rushing to spit their words out as fast as possible, and I have to set playback to 0.75x speed for it to be listenable.
Overall, this podcast feels more like a conversation between gamer friends at a cafeteria table than serious media analysis. That might be enjoyable for some, but it’s not my thing (or perhaps I should say “it’s a bad podcast that no one wants to listen to”).”
