The GodisaGeek Podcast

On this week's podcast it's time to talk about another massive JRPG, as Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is out, and we've been playing it. Adam has played it and seen credits, and has a lot to say, while Lyle is still looking forward to getting into it further after previewing it. Chris Hyde is back this week, and who'd have though it, but he has thoughts on the mathematics at play in the game. Elsewhere, Lyle and Adam are both rather smitten with the demo build they played of Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, but are also quite sad, since there's no release date, so they don't know how long until they can play more. Hydey has also played some of it, but what does he think? Yep, maths again! Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is also out now, and is yet another Metroidvania to add to the immense pile of them that seem to be coming out in 2024. It's story heavy, but it's still a lovely responsive fun time. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

On this week's podcast, it's time to welcome back Chris White as he is here to talk about Harold Halbut, because why not? Lyle and Adam have also been playing through Biomorph, with varying results of happiness from doing so. Elsewhere, Adam has played a little bit of The Rogue Prince of Persia, which isn't Dead Cells, but also sorta-kinda is. Of course, we make time for questions from the listeners, too, from our lovely Discord community via Patreon, especially since we had to cut the last episode short and not answer them all, so it's time to make good on that. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

This week's podcast sees the gang... well, talking about Dragon's Dogma 2 some more, since Chris Hyde is here to discuss his archery adventures. But all three of this week's hosts have also finished a game called Minishoot Adventures, which technically speak is called Minishoot' Adventures, though nobody seems to know why the apostrophe is there. Elsewhere, Adam wants to briefly talk about Princess Peach: Showtime! since he reviewed that a few weeks ago, and it was a lovely time.

Well, you wait for massive games and then three come along at once and all need talking about on a podcast. Phew. And it's not exactly just the "size" of the games we're talking here, but the fact that they are just "big" names as well. Dragon's Dogma 2 is here, after over ten years of people wanting it, and most of us have played it. Do we like it? Was it worth the wait? Speaking of comebacks, Alone in the Dark has been sort-of soft-rebooted, with a brand new game that's more like Resident Evil than the original titles, but does it work? We also need to have a good chat about the latest PS5 exclusive, Rise of the Ronin, since we've got Mick here and he reviewed it, after all. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

It's podcast time, which means loads of games, including some absolutely massive RPGs that we've all been playing. Since we've been away we've been playing so many games, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which one of us has finished, the other is halfway through, and the other, despite it being his most wanted game of the year, hasn't even started. In fairness, that's likely because he's been hammering through Unicorn Overlord, while the rest of us just leisurely enjoy our space farming survival game, Lightyear Frontier. Oh and just in case you're worried, we won't be doing spoilers for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on this podcast, so you can listen without fear. The Thaumaturge is another game that's been released recently, so we have a chat about that, and why it's worth your time if you're on PC, or Steam Deck, etc. And yes, we finally get to the listener questions that have been outstanding for around a month. Whoops. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

It's time for a podcast comeback, as we've been away for nearly a month. Will we explain? Probably not! What this all means, though, is a quick chat about four games we've been playing, and since we managed to wrangle Chris White for the podcast, he's gonna chat about some of his recently reviewed titles. First up we've got the Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake, which Chris adores, and Adam tries to remember. Next on the list, Pacific Drive is unlike anything we've really played before, and is all the better for it. Then it's time for a long overdue love-fest about Granblue Fantasy Relink, but not before a chat about Helldivers 2 and just how damn cool it is. We're back, sort of! ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

On this week's podcast we're still playing lots of incredibly long role playing games, but also, Suicide Squad is out. Chris Hyde is slowly making his way through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, while Adam is trying to finish Persona 3 Reload, a task which Lyle has already managed. It's not helping that Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is now available, and we have some thoughts on that, as we've been playing for a few hours now. Of course, listener correspondence is an ever-present on the podcast, and it seems like people want us to be nice to each other.

This week's podcast we can finally talk about those big games we've been playing, or a few of them, at least! Not only is it Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth time, it's also time for justice: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy time. As Lyle has been playing Capcom's trilogy for a while now, Adam has been having the time of his life in Hawaii, finishing off the latest in Ichiban and Kasuga's tale. Elsewhere, all three of the gang (Chris Hyde is back, finally!) have been playing a lovely indie called Lil' Guardsman which the whole team has been keeping an eye on for a while now. Does it live up to the hopes we had, and what on earth is it thinking releasing during the madness that is January in games? ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

As promised last week on the podcast, we've been playing some big games, but also some indies. So it's a mixture of both this week. Lyle and Adam have been playing Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, which is a lovely indie title that might have a bad name, but is worth your time. Meanwhile, Mick has been playing Welcome to ParadiZe for preview, and Adam has been testing out the No Return rogue-lite mode in The Last of Us Part II Remastered, while also checking on the new features. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

As the year cranks slowly into life, that can only mean one thing: it's time for a first podcast of 2024. The usual podcast catch-up has to happen, so we can find out what people have been playing over the Christmas period, but for Adam and Lyle that mostly involves Fortnite. That said, the pair have also been playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a triple-A MetroidVania, which has enamoured pretty much the entire team, so let's chat about why, shall we, and perhaps discuss if more big studios and publishers should be doing games like this, and not just the usual first-person or third-person titles that seem to be all the rage these days. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

It all comes down to one final push for the GodisaGeek Game of the Year 2023 podcast. It's top ten time! But first up, we need to talk about next year. 2023 may have been one of the most incredible years in gaming in a very long time, but 2024 is shaping up pretty nicely already. We have to decide on whether games will definitely come out, and make a top five, then use all our previous week of deliberations after talking about best multiplayer, visuals, audio, re-releases, and everything else. So what is the top ten list, and what is the Game of the Year 2023? Listen up, and find out. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

Day four of the GodisaGeek Game of the Year 2023 deliberations is here, and it's the longest episode we think we've ever done. If yesterday was the worst of us, arguing and bickering, today is the best of us. A full on cornucopia of game love, as we discuss the best stories and moments from the entire year. It's been one of the best years in the history of gaming, but as usual, we can't talk about stories and moments without spoilers, so be warned. We do try to avoid it unless necessary, but it is necessary a lot: sorry! ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

We're back with the third of the Game of the Year 2023 awards from GodisaGeek - and be warned, it's getting hot now. Best multiplayer is more stacked than we thought this year, and it's no shock we've been enjoying games like Remnant 2 as a team, but best new character? Corr, that's a spicy one. Emotions will run high and friendships will be broken. Not really, we're all still friends, but hey, it does get spicy. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

Well here we are again, with the second of the Game of the Year 2023 awards from GodisaGeek - and we're just getting warmed up. It's time to discuss the best audio and visual experiences of the year, and it's been an incredible one. Hi-Fi Rush looked and sounded great, remember that one? Does it make a list after everything has been said and discussed though? You'll have to watch or listen to find out. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

Well here we are again, with the first day of the Game of the Year 2023 awards from GodisaGeek - a plethora of hours of podcasts await you, listener. As is tradition on day one of the podcast, the first three awards up for debate for GOTY 2023 are best re-release (HD remaster, remakes, etc), nicest surprise (something that happened, or a game that came from left field somehow), and biggest disappointment (a more nebulous award, which can be a game we wanted to be good that was not, or something negative that happened in the gaming space in 2023). ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

This week's podcast sees the return of Chris White to talk all things Like a Dragon / Yakuza, after the release of the latest title, and ahead of 2024's turn-based RPG game. That said, Chris Hyde and Adam are pretty smitten with a smaller, indie SoulsVania (that's Mick's term, and we're using it!) that is addictive, but nobody seems aware of. Meanwhile, Adam gets to talk about Super Mario RPG, and the team get asked the burning question: What do they want from GTA6? We mention it on the podcast also, but it's worth noting we may not be exactly "weekly" now, while we prepare and eventually record our GOTY 2023 awards. So if you don't hear from us one week, that's why! ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

While there are plenty of big games still coming out to chat about on the podcast, the team are back on Remnant 2, it seems. Chris Hyde and Adam have been playing the first DLC pack for it, The Awakened King adds loads more content, a new archetype, and new weapons and gear, and the duo apparently can’t get enough of it. Meanwhile, Lyle has been beavering away at Persona 5 Tactica, to see if that is any good, but also dipping back into a game we covered in early access what feels like ages ago: now that Astral Ascent is hitting 1.0, has it delivered on what we hoped for back in September 2022, when Lyle said it “could be the next great Roguelike”? ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

Fit to burst with massive games, on this week's podcast it's time for Chris Hyde and Adam to discuss Alan Wake 2. We won't be spoiling it, but there's plenty to talk about given how long the team (or some of it!) has waited for the sequel from Remedy, that's for sure. But there's more, as Jusant has just been released (and is on Game Pass, so you can play it now), and WarioWare: Move It! is the long-wanted sequel we didn't know we wanted 'til we played it of Smooth Moves. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

Chris White is on the podcast for the second episode running, to talk about Marvel's Spider-Man 2. He and Adam have been playing it for the past few weeks, and have a lot to say about it from a story point of view, as well as how good it feels to be back in the Spider-shoes, game-wise, and even some thoughts on the technical aspects developer Insomniac Games has delivered on this time around. And that's not even it for the big games, out the same day, and also having been played for the past few weeks, Adam has 100% completed Super Mario Bros Wonder, and can deliver his podcast verdict, to go with the written and video review on the site and channel. Still being played this week, though, is Lords of the Fallen, which Chris Hyde has fallen for, and seems quite smitten with. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!

Chris White is back on the podcast this week to tell the crew about Assassin's Creed Mirage, but he's also going to wax lyrical about Forza Motorsport with Adam. Lyle has played the latest adventure from the Blue Blur, and is here to talk about Sonic Superstars. We've also got a little time to chat about Detective Pikachu Returns, and even a little preview (including some footage of the game in action, if you watch the video version of the podcast) of Warioware: Move it! ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek and get a bonus exclusive pod!
