Customer Reviews
Wonderful
I came for the Nier Automata discussion and so far I am blown away. These episodes have been a masterful companion as I revisit this amazing game. I cannot wait to listen through the podcast backlog on some of the games I’ve played from my past.
I love that the focus is on the game’s development, themes, symbolism, characters, philosophy, and story rather than gameplay. The hosts do a fantastic job of unpacking a lot of material. Keep up the great work!
The Real Deal
Easily the best, most insightful video game podcast I’ve come across. As a huge fan of the series, their final fantasy coverage in particular really gave me a lot to think about in terms of development history and the stories themselves.
Definitely worth your time!
Five stars
Love what you guys do and the passion with which you cover VG stories that were large chunks of my childhood. Keep it up
