“IGN as a company has turned into a bunch of woke activists now pushing an agenda through entertainment. They will eventually fade into obscurity because of making video games into a political/ideological propaganda instead of serving their clients (people who want a break from all the garbage...”Read full review »

“The video game community would be better without IGN. There are far better and more knowledgeable Xbox podcats out there, I would recommend The Xbox Two or Kinda Funny Xcast.”

“Podcast Unlocked used to be an absolute must-listen podcast for me for a looong time, even back in the dead xbox one years. But it feels to me like over the last couple years something has been lost. No longer are the panel members actually knowledgeable of xbox games or are even xbox fans....”Read full review »

“I would listen every week to a show that was just Ryan and Destin. This current version of the podcast I check out every few weeks to see who the lineup is. And usually check out. I do not hate the other hosts or guest hosts, far from it, but simply don’t add much to the conversation. I want to...”Read full review »

“They tend to talk more about the business side of gaming, but that’s mostly because Xbox doesn’t produce a ton of their own games for them to talk about.
Cast: Miranda is great. Destin is great. Ryan is a good dude but tends to be way too long winded. Stella has got to learn how to talk without...”Read full review »

“I don’t know if their editor is absolutely incompetent or if they’re just that desperate for runtime, but the skipping back 1 minute every 5-8 minutes is obnoxious and completely ruins whatever they might have had going for them.”

“Accidentally listens to this pod before I knew it was IGN. My mistake. I don’t think IGN has ever correctly reviewed a game or given it anywhere near the correct score. Hot takes for the sake of hot takes and that’s about it.”

“The recent IGN US Starfield review just confirms to me IGN’s long-standing anti-Xbox sentiment. IGN knows their bread is buttered by other dominant platforms & their fans. There is a well documented pattern of instances where IGN’s organizational culture showcases their anti-Xbox bias....”Read full review »

Hey, Destin, leave IGN, you’re doing well on...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening since the Mitch Dyer days, so I’ve seen my fair share of hosts cycle through. Ryan is a fair mediator and host who’s a pillar in the Xbox community at this point. Destin is good for a change of pace and wholesome, dad-joke humor. Khalif has been a great addition to the show in...”Read full review »

“Welcome to Podcast Unlocked, where we’ll beat the same dead horse over and over again: how do we fix Halo?, who should MS acquire next?, the Xbox game drought is over! Or let’s speculate about some topic for a needlessly long time and show everyone how insightful we aren’t.
I don’t even own a...”Read full review »
