On Underplayed, Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds—the games with small budgets but big hearts, the lesser-known experiences with imaginative ideas. A typical episode has two main segments: first, we each reveal and review a game we've been playing in secret; then, we have an in-depth discussion on a prestigious title within the indie landscape.

    093 - Windswept, Big Hops, & Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair

    Look, it's a Donkey Kong Country, it's a top-down Zelda, it's... a spin-off to Yooka-Laylee? We stand at the base of Capital B's eponymous challenge with no choice but to crack open some magical books for protection. Hopefully y'all don't mind your literature getting messy, because these chapters become damp with water, thick with smog, and gooey with honey.
