Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 1.3k ratings
  • It’s lost something

    The podcast was much better when Kat was still on the show. I hope she comes back someday. While I do appreciate new regular host Victor Hunter’s perspectives,

    he sucks the air out of the room. He dominates conversation and often leaves Nadia and Eric sitting on the sidelines. I didn’t know I could be so tired of a professional VA’s voice. Would give 2.5 stars if Apple Podcasts would allow it.

  • What a shame

    Been listening for 4+ years. Kat leaving ruined the show and Victor is insufferable. Just so smug and pretentious.

  • Sorry

    Sorry I used to love this show but the recent host switch up really tanked it. I tried listening for a while but I just can’t enjoy it anymore, had to stop listening. The show just has so much more negativity now

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tales of Eternia Remastered Review
Q: Daniel, going back to Eternia from more modern stuff, how were you feeling? Did it feel a little sticky or did you feel right at home?
Daniel found the combat familiar through his experience with older Tales games and preferred manual controls for greater control over his character.
Tales of Eternia Remastered Review
Q: How was it, maybe Lucas, because you're sort of going back to such an earlier game from playing so many of the more modern remasters, what was it like hopping into Eternia's combat for you?
Lucas enjoyed experimenting with attack properties and crowd control, and said the combat offers plenty to explore despite its older presentation.
Kingdom Hearts Roundtable Discussion w/Alexa Ray Corriea
Q: If you had to suggest an order to play to help alleviate that, which games would make the cut?
Corriea outlines release order, chronological order, a Machete Order that arranges games around secret-boss reveals, and a minimum viable order of Kingdom Hearts I, II, Birth by Sleep, and III.
Kingdom Hearts Roundtable Discussion w/Alexa Ray Corriea
Q: How did you feel about this era of Kingdom Hearts where everything just splays out into the side?
The panel describes the difficulty of following games released across many systems, especially for players with limited money or access. They also praise several handheld entries for trying distinct mechanics and storytelling approaches.
Entropy & Dread Delusion w/ Director James Wragg
Q: What are the main design challenges when shifting from Dread Delusion to Entropy?
The team faced shifting from a first-person to a third-person/RTS-influenced structure, expanding the combat system with more numbers while maintaining approachable gameplay and ensuring balance through ongoing feedback and iteration.
