“A labor of love project. When Elden Ring released I spent two weeks doing research to see if this was finally the time to jump into the world of Soulsborne. This podcast helped me make that decision. Really well thought out episodes, w fantastic relaying of levels and events and most importantly...”Read full review »

“I like the concept of their podcast network but I always listen for a couple days and then have to put it down for a while. I want to like it more but Gary is just so insufferable.
I like Kole. He comes across like a really sweet and fun guy. He seems willing to give almost everything a try,...”Read full review »

“At times this podcast is absolutely fantastic and I have not found a better one to listen to for indepth discussions of soulsborne games. The first season takes us through the world of the first Dark Souls game using an area by area approach, discussing the various gameplay encounters as well as...”Read full review »

“This is a fantastic, and dare I say, crucial companion to Elden Ring (as well as other Dark Souls titles!). Gary and Kole are fantastic at exploring the lore and gameplay. I’m so glad I came across this podcast, and have happily been listening to the paid content as I make my journey to become...”Read full review »

“Awesome content, but I don’t have any idea how Kole Ross got so many podcasts under his belt. With nothing but fake, forced laughter and super lame jokes not to mention ending every sentence with a fake chuckle and “ahhh…yeah..” it’s un listenable podcast without the content or the guests. Bad...”Read full review »

“I came in wanting to listen to people talk about my favorite games, but what I got were two guys complaining about every FROM SOFT game imaginable. Besides dark souls one. Their criticism of the games can be boiled down to: it was hard. They take different sections and bosses of the game and...”Read full review »

“I love this show. I go through an area or two of a Dark Souls game—or Elden Ring—on my own and then I bask in that experience by listening to these podcasts. The insight that Gary and Kole provide and the way they talk about things helps me understand and appreciate the game more, and I often...”Read full review »

“I’m a big fan of the souls series and I like listening to these guys do a deeper dive into the lore, mechanics and game design. I think they often bring a unique critical perspective. Often times many podcasters and YouTubers just go on about how awesome a game is without any critical thinking....”Read full review »

“Wanted to listen to the Elden Ring commentary but they make statements like “don’t make “these” type of comments” and then they say “we are political, don’t try to control what we say”. I couldn’t listen more than 10 minutes before I like, totally had to leave to look for my safe space. The...”Read full review »

But man, so much of this show is these guys just saying lame jokes, or inside jokes that us listeners don’t understand.

“This show has given me a lot of joy, but if Gary decides he doesn’t like a game it’s better to just not subject yourself to the show. I’m not even a huge DS3 fan but man it’s just a miserable listen.”

“I’m not sure if Kole has a speech impediment, so I don’t mean this in a rude way, but it is VERY hard to listen to him talk with the amount of “uh” and stutters every other word. Maybe take more time to edit episodes. Because I’ve seen a lot of reviews discussing this.
Besides that, amazing info...”Read full review »

We’re going to see how it goes with Elden Ring (due to the scope of the show.) The paywall is...”Read full review »

“Seems like a decent show. The first elden ring episode they say how leftest and inclusive they are. Unless you don’t have money. First time I’ve ran into this monetization model. Usually they shows rely on talent and that brings in numbers. Title says it all.”

“I loved the past reviews and it was great to listen to all those. But now they are locking everything behind a pay wall. Soo a five for the past episodes and a one for future episodes. Also you are discriminated against if you don’t align with their views.”
