Dev Game Club has, at the time of review, 469 episodes. Each one is at least an hour long (most longer). That means I've spent more than 20 days of my life listening to Brett and Tim Longo Jr-with-a-J-R-at-the-end, and I don't regret a single second of it. These guys serve up entertaining, educational, and in-depth glimpses into some of my favorite games of the past, and they do it with such intellect and wisdom that could only come from experienced industry veterans.

As a wannabe game developer, I often search the web for game design videos, series and podcasts. I often stumble into content that’s either too shallow or is delivered in a convoluted, navel-gazy fashion.
That’s not the case for DGC. I’ve been a listener for almost a decade now and Brett and Tim never fail to deliver valuable insights in an accessible and respectful way.
These guys know what they’re doing and we are lucky that they are willing to share their knowledge with us.
Got into this via the Morrowind and Halo: CE episodes, and have since listened to every episode.
Great hosts, good vibes.
Great show but with moments of wokeness sprinkled throughout making for many cringe moments, for example complaining about the middle-eastern levels in Hitman 2, implying that it’s somehow wrong to depict people in the middle-east being harmed, or complaining about the depiction of slavery in Morrowind, implying that it’s somehow wrong to have any kind of depiction slavery in a work of fiction, many such examples of delusional takes.
I’ve been following the show for years and can’t recommend it more highly. The show covers a variety of classic games over many genres, and playing along with the show is incredibly rewarding when the hosts dig into what works for the game and why. Even if you aren’t playing along, you will be hooked by Brett and Tim’s analysis and banter, backed by decades of real game developer industry experience.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
