The GodisaGeek Podcast

503. Bayonetta 3, The Devil in Me, Resident Evil Village

This week's podcast is all about games, there's a shock, right? Adam has been playing and enjoying Bayonetta 3, while Chris Hyde has completed the Rose DLC that comes with Resident Evil Village: Winters' Expansion. He's also been a naughty boy and played some scary stuff early in the form of The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, which is apparently the last one in the first season of that series.

Lyle has played Ghostbusters, the recently released multiplayer game, so there's a chance for us to hear about that, too.

502. A Plague Tale: Requiem, Gotham Knights, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

We're well land truly into "big game season" on the podcast now, so much so that the lads had to take last week off to play this week's games. Adam has been playing Gotham Knights, and sadly doesn't agree with Chris White's review.

He's also put 25-odd hours into Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, which he did enjoy, but doesn't think is as good as it could have been. Chris Hyde, however, has spent 20-40 hours playing and guiding A Plague Tale Requiem. Can playing it for guides ruin his love for the game, or is this a game of the year contender?

Having taken a week off, I'm sure there will be LOADS of listener questions for listener correspondence, right?

501. Elden Ring, Overwatch 2, Nier: Automata

How do you do a podcast after you hit episode 500? Well you talk about Elden Ring, for a start, which Lyle has finally bothered to actually play. How kind of him.

 

But Overwatch 2 is also out, and is having launch problems despite being great -- though by the time you hear this / read this, it's probably fine... right? Elsewhere, Adam has played Nier: Automata again on Switch and is as in love with the game as ever. Of course more listener correspondence comes in this week, so we'll get to that as well. Thanks!

500. FIFA 23, Overwatch 2, The Spirit and the Mouse

Who would ever have thought we'd make it to 500 episodes of a podcast. Well, me. Because I've been on most of them, and also because technically we're nearer 600 that 500, but we haven't numbered a lot of the episodes due to them being "game of the year", or "extra" or "bonus" episodes, or even spoilercasts. Regardless, it's episode 500. The 500th birthday of the best podcast of all time. That's right, each episode is a birthday for a podcast. Did you know that? You do now. 

Anyway, aside that, it's also someone else's birthday, which means a special birthday-boy special surprise and choice must be made. FIFA 23 is out now, which we've played, and so is The Spirit and the Mouse, but mostly we decided to do some naval gazing this episode and answer questions and talk about ourselves. Who would have guessed. 

In all seriousness, I love that I get to chat to my friends each week about games and it's considered work. Thanks to anyone who's ever appeared on an episode, under whatever guise that episode took; thanks to everyone who's hosted, or been on the show. It's a big old milestone, in truth, and I'm pretty sure that if I did some research I could claim we're the longest running / most regular / most episodes of a UK gaming podcast, but that'd require, as I say: research, and I'm a "games journalist", so I won't be doing that. Lol. Love you.

499. Immortality, The DioField Chronicle, Shovel Knight Dig

This is why we shouldn't be allowed to take a week off doing the podcast. A bumper crop of hosts (four) meets a ridiculous slate of games to discuss (eight!), combined with listener correspondence. This is gonna be a bumper episode. BUMPER!

 

Chris White is on hand to talk about his recent foray into The DioField Chronicle, which Adam loves just as much as he does. Likewise, Shovel Knight Dig is fresh in the minds of both Adam and Lyle. Immortality has been on the shelf for too long, so a big old discussion about that sits in the mid-point of the games we've been playing, but Potion Permit also gets a look in as well.

 

On top of that, Adam has gone preview mad, having played The Entropy Centre, Street Fighter 6, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, and Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose. What more could you want?

498. Splatoon 3, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Steelrising

On this week’s podcast, Adam has been playing the final version of Splatoon 3 and while he thinks it’s great, he does understand why some may not be overly excited about it.

Disney Dreamlight Valley has also been keeping Adam busy, as it’s an Animal Crossing-style game, only with Disney, which doesn’t bode well for everyone’s free time. Meanwhile Lyle has been all over Circus Electrique, a fascinating turn-based RPG, which Adam has also been dabbling with. If there’s time, the gang will chat about the latest Soulslike, Steelrising, too!

497. Ooblets, The Last of Us Part I, Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed

If you cast your mind back, we never spoke about Ooblets on the podcast when it initially hit early access, but with Lyle playing the Switch version, he has plenty to say on the matter.

Adam has been playing through The Last of Us Part I, and that means the dreaded price conversation is going to come up, but he's also played Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed. Chris Hyde, however, has finally started Cult of the Lamb, and Mr Nice surely won't be negative, will he?

496. Tinykin, Saints Row, Islets, Splatoon 3

The games really do keep coming now, as this week's podcast the gang have been playing Saints Row. Adam and Chris Hyde have played some co-op and also some of the game on their own, and have some interesting thoughts about all things Saints Row.

 

Elsewhere, Lyle, Adam, and Chris Hyde have all played Tinykin, and think it's adorable and shouldn't be a game people ignore (hence talking about it on the podcast), and then, before the listener correspondence mega-reveal, Adam went to Nintendo HQ to play some Splatoon 3 and is totally in on that game, but wants to see more of the new stuff.

495. Rollerdrome, Arcade Paradise, Cursed to Golf

It seems that indie games are taking over the podcast right now, with Chris White back to extol the virtues of the fantastic Rollerdrome. But that’s not all, he’s also been playing Arcade Paradise, while Lyle has been Cursed to Golf.

494. Cult of the Lamb, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Two Point Campus

We're starting to get into the business end of the year when it comes to games on the podcast this week. Adam and Lyle have been caught out by indie title Cult of the Lamb, while Chris Hyde has been playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

 

Elsewhere, Chris has also played (and reviewed) Two Point Campus, a game which Adam definitely doesn't keep calling Two Point Hospital. In terms of catching up, Adam has played Neon White now, and has thoughts on that, while he's also been playing Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered for review on PC, which means more Steam Deck talk -- oh yes.
