  • Good idea, bad podcast

    The idea of this is good but the execution is poor. FAR too much of Chris Worthington going on about “emotion” and “agency” in games.

  • It’s like being down the pub with the boys ..

    A genuine highlight in my podcast feed. The hosts have great chemistry and an abundance of passion for the subject matter.

  • Excellent Show

    An excellent show!

    Four modern and middle-aged gamers play and discuss modern and middle-aged games in depth. From AAA blockbusters to indie releases, each host picks a game in turn and over several episodes the group plays through it and gives their detailed impressions/opinions on the plot, characters, gameplay, etc.

    I really appreciate the good-natured conversation and comprehensive game discussion. This is one of the best “game club” format podcasts you’re likely to find.
