It’s all about sequels on this episode of the DBG podcast with the guys sharing their thoughts on Unravel Two, Rainbow Skies, and first impressions on The Crew 2. They also discuss Fallout Shelter, and have a bit of a chat about the Australian Senate inquiry into loot boxes. We hope you enjoy the show 🙂 Read more…
Unravel Two (PC)
While not quite managing the same level of charm as the first game, this sequel brings much needed improvement to the platforming mechanics. Not as challenging as we'd like but the addition of co-op is a great move. A lot of fun with impressive visuals.
Rainbow Skies (PS4)
A great classic style tactical RPG with cross-play across PS3, PS4, and Vita. While it can be a little uninspired in places it's still a solid game and great for fans of the genre.

Another episode of the Drop Bear Gaming podcast is here! Yay! I’m sorry to say this episode is NOT a prime number, however it does have some PRIME games mentioned on it. Lucas has of course been continuing his career as a professional baller on NBA2K18, while Matt continued his regular job of playing as many games as possible. On this episode Matt shared his thoughts about the new 80s-themed action adventure game Crossing Souls (including a song from the soundtrack with thanks to the creator of the games soundtrack TimeCop1983), Wulverblade, EA Sports UFC 3, and the new Civilization VI DLC Rise & Fall. The guys also discuss the announced changes to the PS Plus subscription, the dismal life of the Vita compared to the exciting life of the Switch on the back of the birthdays of both systems, and much much more! We hope you enjoy the show 🙂 Read more…

Unravel Two (PC)
While not quite managing the same level of charm as the first game, this sequel brings much needed improvement to the platforming mechanics. Not as challenging as we'd like but the addition of co-op is a great move. A lot of fun with impressive visuals.
Rainbow Skies (PS4)
A great classic style tactical RPG with cross-play across PS3, PS4, and Vita. While it can be a little uninspired in places it's still a solid game and great for fans of the genre.
Moonlighter (PS4)
A great little indie title which manages to mix a RPG and a store management sim into one charming little game. With rogue-lite style dungeon crawling by night and surprisingly engrossing shop-keeping during the day this game is definitely worth a look.
Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
Another visually stunning Quantic Dream game with all the usual stuff that comes with that. Slightly finicky controls hold this game back a little, but a really well crafted story and world with meaningful game-defining decisions and superb voice acting make it a must play game.
Lucas
The Podfather/Convo Controller
Super salesman by day, Batdad and Gamersutra by night. As a self-confessed technology pacifist, he prefers to sit on the console-war fence and play games on his PC.
Matt
PlayStation Fanboy/Motormouth
Electrician by trade and yet also highly skilled at finding time to game around work and family commitments. A PlayStation fanboy with a platinum count and obvious podcast bias to prove it. Thinks DC is clearly superior to Marvel. Has been known to rant.
