Long time fan, first time reviewer. I critique because I love!
I’ve been listening to this show for years and constantly have a great time waiting for Friday’s new ep! I will say, I think the 2023 year exemplifies that these four hosts just aren’t in the same place/situation to be able to offer the same dynamic they used to. Nothing wrong with having a family or other projects and mix that with the content grind of needing to release an episode the week the game comes out, but with this year’s episodes and reviews you can really tell that the hosts just haven’t put much time into the games they are reviewing. Nothing wrong with a show about 3-10 hours of gameplay before reviewing, but as a long time fan I’ve had to learn to adjust my expectations! The critical thinking effort does fall on the listener though when the hosts will talk with hyperbolic language about if a game is good or bad knowing they haven’t played more than 5 hours. Even if I don’t agree with many of their opinions, listening to this show always puts a smile on my face and gets me excited for a weekend of gaming!

I appreciate the more honest descriptions(e.g. skyrim vampire dlc) as opposed to the competitive pitches which sacrificed an informative opinion for a biased attempt at winning an arbitrary game. Everything seems less awkward now that there is less emphasis on whose game is better. The occasional...Read full review »
