We've made it to the end of the Fallout TV show on Prime TV and have a lot of great things to say about it. We have a full spoilercast here so if you haven't finished the show, please skip forward to the next segment! Speaking of which, Fallout has brought us back into the universe so we revisit Fallout 76. Is it worth jumping back into in 2024?
Brett then dives into indie games with Dave the Diver. It released last year but he finally got into playing it and has so many good things to say about this clever game that is way deeper than expected. Following that up, we talk about how indie games are starting to gain more press and news headlines than AAA games. This is great for the industry and we explain why!
Finally, we revisit The Crew Motorfest. They've launched new content since it released in the Fall of last year and it's better than ever. If you have been on the fence with this game, it's worth jumping in if you don't have an Xbox for Forza Horizon 5.

Brett reviews a cozy farming game called Lightyear Frontier. You get a mech that looks an awful lot like a tractor transformer and collect resources, farm and explore the world. It's a fun game available on Xbox Game Pass for you and up to 3 other friends.
We also go down a rabbit hole with TV Shows. We review Season 2 of the Halo tv show as well as the new Prime series for Fallout. Both are good in their own ways, with Fallout really blowing us away with their attention to detail in capturing the feeling of Fallout. The characters are mostly great, but the world building is what really blew us away.
We also look at live services games and talk about a surprising statistic that 60% of games played in 2023 were 6 years or older. What does this mean for the future of story content and gaming in general? Are we going to see less bets on new IP as a result of this? We also later talk about WB's plan to go all in on live service gaming and how we think this is the wrong move for them.
Lastly, Austin plays Stellar Blade from a Korean studio and is blown away by how much fun it is. There's no message here other than a great story with great combat and a fresh, new experience.

We review the weirdly satisfying Tingus Goose mobile game. It's created by SweatyChair with illustrations by Master Tingus. It's an idle game where you grow a goose tree out of a person to reach a certain height. It's weird but satisfying?
We also have been dropping a lot for democracy in Helldivers 2. With our cumulative 100+ hours in the game, we share 10 things we wish we knew before starting Helldivers 2. Hopefully there are some tips we share you may not have been aware of too!
We also talk about NetEase's new game Marvel's Rivals. It's very much going after the Overwatch market with a 6v6 hero-style shooter. Will it outrival Overwatch or will it fall short it delivering the experience we all want to play?
Finally, Suicide Squad released Season 1 of their game featuring the Joker. Unfortunately, it's not what we expected and even more so there isn't really any new story content. There is a battle pass though (actually 2!) and it was enough to make us want to jump back into Arkham Knight.

We went to SXSW 2024 this year. It's a big conference and festival that occurs in Austin, TX featuring interactive, film, tv and music. We went and attended a ton of gaming sessions about Roblox, Fortnite, streaming and more. We also experienced some awesome brand activations such as a promo for the Fallout TV show where we entered a version of Filly from the show itself.
We also talk about the dark side of Roblox. There is a lot of targeted marketing in Roblox designed to keep kids more and more engaged in brands. Is this good for their future? We also look at the Borderlands trailer featuring a collab with the Skip, Rent, Buy podcast and we share our thoughts on the canceled Spider-Man multiplayer game.

We review a mobile game evolved into a full console and PC game called Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Austin played this game and is enjoying the gameplay, the JRPG mechanics and the world to explore. Is it a 10/10? Not really but is it worth playing? Very much so.
Brett also plays the deck builder roguelike Balatro. It's inspired by Poker but it's much deeper than that. It's quite the addiction and he can't get enough of this $20 game.
We have several exciting discussions this time around. We open with the dark side of an all digital future. With games now being afforded the option to change them post-release, what is the line we draw where it's no longer ok to modify the game we paid money for? Will we ever actually own a game again?
We also talk about how Pokemon on Pokemon Day missed a huge opportunity to try and garner some excitement away from Palworld. Instead it was the same old formula for all their game anouncements, including little hype for their upcoming mainline title Pokemon Legends Z-A.
Finally, we discuss a new era in gaming. From Helldivers 2 to Baldur's Gate 3, games lately have been changing the formula of what we've come to expect for certain genres. We talk about those genres and games and how they're redefining future games.

We revisit Sucide Squad: Kill the Justice League. We've all beaten the game and dive into a SPOILERCAST about the final parts of the game, the endgame content and what is coming for the future! We also have another segment where the team is split about whether this game is a success or not. Will it succeed long term? Only time will tell.
We also review Helldivers 2. This game we've been really excited for and it truly delivers in a live service experience that is worth every penny. They hit the nail on the head with this game and it's so much fun with friends!
Jason reviews Banishers Ghost of New Eden. This is a game from Don't Nod, the developers of Life is Strange and Vampyr. He is enjoying his experience diving into the story, gameplay and more.
In the news, we talk about Disney investing $1.5 billion in Fortnite to bring new experiences from the Disney franchises into Fortnite. Also, Xbox hosts a podcast where they set things straight with all the rumors and stories that came out the week prior about Xbox going multi-platform, their potential console-less future and more.

Palworld is taking over the world with over 600k active players. It's a game that pulls inspiration from Pokemon and Breath of the Wild, but brings all of this in a survival game packaging. We're having a blast and think you should too before Nintendo tries to shut them down.
We also review Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. We're mixed on this game. Some of us love it, some of us have problems that need answers. Find out whether or not this is Rocksteady's next gem or if it's a wait for the sale kind of game.
We also review the SWAT game Ready or Not. It's only on PC but it's one you shouldn't skip. It's a blast to play, with dark themes and a lot of tactical gameplay that you can't find in many other games.
There were also many layoffs and we talk about why this could be happening and Sony had their State of Play featuring several new game showcases such as Death Stranding 2 and first gameplay from Judas.

In this episode, we talk all about The Game Awards. We dive into the winners and losers and discuss a bit about the show format and what could've been done to make it better. We also talk about all the world premieres, some exciting and some less than exciting for the team here at The Inner Gamer.
We also talk about what we want from Grand Theft Auto 6 now that the trailer is here. We digest the tiny details and go into what we hope they deliver with this next-gen game.
In regard to cancelations, The Day Before was pulled 4 days after it went on sale. It was a bit of a disaster and everything thinks it was a scam. Was it? We also talk about the cancelation of The Last of Us Factions, their multiplayer experience that was in full production.
Finally, Fortnite is back and with it a ton of new games literally inside of the game. We have Lego Fortnite, Fortnite Festival and Rocket Racing to talk about as well as the exciting new season.

We review Lethal Company, the new game made by one developer that's beating out Call of Duty on Steam. It's a creepy game where your goal is to collect scrap to sell to the company while avoiding things trying to kill you. We also play Awakened King, the DLC from Remnant 2. Austin plays the indie game Cocoon from the art director behind Inside and Limbo.
We pivot a bit to tv and movies reviewing both Super Mario Bros Movie and Five Night's at Freddy's. We also talk about the newly released trailer for Fallout coming soon to Amazon Prime.

FINISH HIM. We dove into Mortal Kombat 1 this past week with some friends. We competed against each other in a fierce battle in this beautiful, new fighter game. Does it bring anything revolutionary to the franchise? Not really. Is it a blast to play? Most definitely.
We also review Super Mario Bros Wonder on the Switch. This is a fun, accessible 2D Mario game with a ton of variety in enemies, worlds and amazing music.
Rocksteady released a video about Suicide Squad. We break down the video, the gameplay and the graphics to talk about whether or not this video put them back on the right track.
Lastly, The Game Awards are coming December 7th. We look at the predictions and also come up with what future games we want to see revealed in a World Premiere.

We give our full review on Spider-Man 2 and compare it to the original. Which game had a better story? Did this one deliver all we wanted? What about the gameplay? We also give our first look at Alan Wake 2. This game is frightening but incredibly well done with a lot of unique new features we haven't seen in many games. Is it walking simulator? Sure. Does it have a great story? 100%!
Brett is really excited about an Animal Crossing mini-game coming to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth but the rest of the guys aren't. We also talk about all the other announcements at the Xbox Partner Preview.
Brett and Austin played The Finals for the open beta. Austin likes it! We had a good time playing and share some of our stories, dive deeper into the gameplay and talk about when we may see the release date.
Finally, we look at Blizzcon 2023 and all the announcements for Overwatch, Diablo 4, World of Warcraft and more. There are a lot of updates coming post-Xbox acquisition but is it enough? Where was Starcraft?

Cyberpunk 2077's DLC has arrived called Phantom Liberty. The game may finally have reached true RPG status with the 2.0 update and this new DLC. It's more tactical, with more mechanics that makes for a greater, more diverse set of gameplay moments. Spider-Man 2 is also here and we dive into this wonderful playground of New York as Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Our target is Kraven the Hunter among others and this adventure is sure to capture the hearts of Spidey fans all over.
Brett is back into Battlefield 2042. Recently, they reached over 100k players on Steam which begs the question...is Battlefield 2042 back? We think so. Also, Warhammer 40k Darktide released a brand new skill system. This big overhaul is way better and makes it feel like a different game. Is this game returning back from the dead?

We have a lot of game reviews this episode! We open with Assassin's Creed Mirage. It's a toned down version of the recent RPG focused Assassin's Creed games. This is a prequel to Valhalla following the story of Basim. Does the game bring back the nostalgia we wanted or does nostalgia leave a sour taste in our mouth?
We also played the multiplayer co-op game Payday 3. This is a light review, focusing on a few of the levels in the game. It's a ton of fun to play but does have some issues that are worth noting. Will this game keep us engaged long-term?
Brett and Austin play Counter-Strike 2. This is the surprise follow up to Counter-Strike Global Offensive. It features a lot of new quality of life updates with refreshes of all the maps from GO, but people are upset they totally removed GO from the store. Was this the right move for them?
Finally, we discuss the Meta Quest 3 and if it will be enough to bring us back into the VR fold. It has a lto of promising features but it may be that VR as a whole needs an evolution a hardware upgrade can't provide.

Say hello to our new look! This podcast is the first one with our fresh, new branding! We hope you enjoy it as much as we had fun creating it.
In this episode, Brett returns to Oahu for The Crew Motorfest. The last time he ventured into Oahu in a game was with Test Drive Unlimited. This isn't exactly that game, but it still brings back some of the excitement of TDU!
Austin plays Lies of P, the souls-like game from the Korean based developer Neowiz Games. It's actually very good, available on Game Pass and definitely something you may want to have your eye on!
Brett also reviews the TV Show Twisted Metal on Peacock. Based off the Sony PlayStation game franchise, this tells a more grounded story and expands on the universe of Twisted Metal. It's a fun ride to watch and something we definitely recommend you check out!
Finally, we dive into news about Unity's controversial new business model and the mega leak from Microsoft Xbox. New consoles, future games and much more was leaked in this massive 200+ page document. We share all the goods from the leak!

Xbox's most anticipated game of the year has finally arrived: Starfield. Starfield is Bethesda's first new universe in 25 years and it leaves the team...divided. Some like it, some say it leaves a lot to be desired. Will it have the staying power that Skyrim had in gaming history or will it quickly be forgotten?
We also review Pikmin 4 on the Switch. This is a cute little game featuring tiny plant-like creatures. You adventure around a planet trying to rescue the Rescue Corps and find the Pikmin of all types. It has a great art style, fun gameplay and a breath of fresh air when playing all these super demanding games.
In the news, we anticipate some gaming talks coming from the iPhone 15 announcement but we also discuss a software release earlier this year that allows easier gaming on the mac. Will we finally see gaming officially come to Mac computers? We discuss rumors of the Switch 2 with a new camera feature, new cartridge types, backwards compatibility and more. Finally, what's with this PS Plus price hike? Is it warranted? We talk about all this and more!

Baldur's Gate 3 has consumed our lives. We invite our friend Joe from the Nerd Sloth Podcast onto the show to talk about this incredible CRPG from Larian Studios. This game has so much content, great choice-driven gameplay and amazing classes that create a ton of diversity in the content. We also share our first impressions on Texas Chainsaw Massacre the game, available on Xbox Game Pass.
We then discuss Gamescom Opening Night Live. There was another stage crasher at a Keighley event which we hoped they had learned from at The Game Awards. Regardless, the show was overall very good with nothing exciting and new, but we saw some great gameplay and extended trailers from some of our most anticipated games.
Jason picks up the $50 Red Dead Redemption conversion and it turns out it may actually be worth the price of admission. Finally, we dive into the new features in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 and talk about Playstation Portal.

In this episode, Brett heads to the past to play a game from Crytek called Hunt: Showdown. This game released in 2019 and it has taken us awhile to get there. Jumping into this game, we're sad it took us this long. This is a great game with a really fun gameplay loop that keeps us coming back. Hunt monsters, fight other hunters and try and escape alive with your bounty.
We also talk a lot about the new cRPG Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios. This is as close to D&D in a video game as you'll probably ever get and it's so much fun. We share first impressions of the game and talk about how devs are a little worried that this may set a new standard that they can't achieve with future games.
Red Dead Redemption is officially releasing August 17th but not as a remaster or a remake. Instead it's simply a re-release on PS4 and Switch. How silly is that! Jason is excited but the rest of us are not. One of the greatest games of all time is getting a re-release for 50 bucks with no upgrades. Oh well.
THQ Nordic had a showcase where they launched two new games we were stoked to learn more about. One is TMNT: The Last Ronin and another is South Park Snow Day. We're hopeful these two games really show up and blow us away!
Finally, Brett has beat Cyberpunk 2077 and talks about the ending (SPOILERS) and whether or not Phantom Liberty can bring the game back into the public's positive eye.

We're back! This is round 2 of Episode 378 because our audio broke on the last podcast. We missed a week, but this podcast is still as exciting as ever!
We review our hotly anticipated game Remnant 2. It delivered on all fronts and we're having a blast with this Dark Souls-like game. Brett also reviews the indie game Viewfinder. It's a puzzle game where you use photography that becomes part of the real world. It's sometimes hard to believe this is even real!
Jason has been playing Final Fantasy 16. It's a brand new release in the Final Fantasy series but it's a bit more basic than past titles. The story is incredible but it left us wanting a bit more depth in the combat system.
We also talk about remasters coming from Rockstar. Unfortunately, news broke already that the first remaster is Red Dead Redemption on PS4 and Switch. Not what we wanted, but you can listen to the podcast to see what we truly wanted!
We end with a spoilercast on Star Wars Jedi Survivor. It's a great game, but left us leaving a lot to be desired. MAJOR WARNING: we spoil the entire story so if you don't want to be spoiled, check the timecodes below!
