- Tempo libero
The Omnigamers' Club is a book club style podcast for those whose love of games eclipses the divide between analog and digital. Alternating between board games, video games and everything in between, each episode will take a deep dive into one specific game, our thoughts and the conversation around it.

Pacific Drive
Pack the car for a roadside picnic, we’re heading into the Olympic Exclusion Zone to discuss Pacific Drive, the survival/roguelite/immersive sim game from Ironwood Studios. Mark reports on his recent trip to the real Olympic Peninsula while Daniel channels his love of genre fiction. We discuss the value of friction in games, UI usability and giving character to cars.
We’re trialling a new video format for more ways to join the club, so send your feedback and comments to Omnigamersclub@gmail.com or via our website https://www.omnigamers.club/.

Jedi Survivor
Grab some seat, we’re activating the hyperdrive to a galaxy far far away to discuss Jedi Survivor. Does it embrace the darkness or grow beyond the dichotomy of declaring a game to be good or bad. We discuss the power of nostalgia, AAA feature creep and why we’d do anything for Turgle.

Against the Storm
We built this city on rain and rogues! This episode’s featured review is Against the Storm, the rogue lite city builder from Eremite Games. We discuss the merits of both genres and how they mix, rainpunk, bioessentialism and try to figure out if we’re the bad guys in this cycle of apocalyptic rain.
