Curated Reviews of Gaming History

As someone who fell into a deep dark league of legends hole between 2011-2020, I love how this podcast offers an earnest review of so many great single player titles I missed while loathing humanity. They provide Seinfeld level chemistry (I’ll let you guess whose who), coupled with wonderful insights into each game they review. Always look forward to each episode.

Listen to this podcast!!!

This podcast is FUN, plain and simple. The banter is hilarious, and I’ve gotten new insights into games I’ve played dozens of times before. The gaming podcast I didn’t realize I needed in my life. Highly recommend!

Love this show!

This is one of my favorite podcasts. You can’t beat the experience of a new gamer. I love the new takes on games that were just cemented in my brain as this or that. For veterans of the gaming industry it’s a fresh pair of eyes and even if you’re new to these games, these are solid reviews on there own. Please check out disco elysium!
