“Been listening to this podcast and subscribed to the Patreon for a few months now, it's been great especially to have a giant backlog of content I can queue up to listen to while sleep deprived while taking care of a newborn baby. The funnest part about the show is the arguements and jockeying for how to rank each game on the 100% scientificially accurate list of games.
I'd like to nominate the game 'UnReal World' for the hosts to check out. It's a roguelike open-world survival game set in iron-age Finland. It's pretty unique as there are no real fantasy elements besides Finnish animist "magic". It can be pretty brutal as it has a pretty archaic UI, bears and raiders can mess you up easily, and the survival mechanisms can be harsh and unforgiving. It's made by a Finn, so of course there is an accurate simulation of saunas as well.
It also holds the Guiness World Record for the game with the longest continuous support, having had new versions and updates regularly since 1992.”Read full review »
