Thoughtful and thorough game discussions
New listener here! I listened to two episodes: Chained Echoes and The Forbidden City. Great format and set up with a host and a guest discussing the game, the host does a good job in pushing the conversation along and redirecting if necessary. It could be the two episodes I picked, but I like when podcasts review media they actually enjoy, rather than spending 2+ hour bashing something. While there were criticisms of the games, those were thoughtful and made sense, rather than just complaining. The brief music breaks were good palate cleansers to move on to new topics without disrupting the flow of the show. I found myself nodding along to the commentary and agreeing with most of their assessments of the games – I’ll have to listen to one with a game I don’t necessarily like to see if I still agree 😊 As an aside, thank you for so thoroughly covering the Forgotten City and its endings! I started that game, played for awhile and LOVED it, but got too scared when I realized what was going on with the statues and had to quit. Great podcast! I’m subscribed and will definitely be checking out the backlog.

Dave & his guests do a fantastic job covering all aspects of the game of the week. There's a spoiler wall so folks can tune in and learn the gist of the game safely (and can then go play it if they want). Always a lot of fun. Definitely recommend!Read full review »
