    Ivy Insights

    The Besties podcast is a must-listen for any video game enthusiast, whether you're a hardcore gamer or just enjoy playing casually. Each week, the hosts delve into an in-depth review of a single game, providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of whether or not it's worth their time. Unlike many other game reviews that can feel like a slog, The Besties manages to keep the discussion engaging and entertaining throughout. The hosts are kind to each other and their passion for gaming shines through, creating an enjoyable and relatable listening experience.

    One of the best aspects of The Besties is the range of opinions among the hosts. They each have unique tastes and preferences when it comes to games, making it easy for listeners to find a host they resonate with. Whether you align more with Justin McElroy's recommendations or gravitate towards Griffin's choices, there's always someone whose opinion you can trust. This diversity of perspectives makes finding new games to play a breeze.

    Additionally, The Besties stands out for its commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest releases. The hosts put in the effort to keep track of new games hitting the market and provide timely reviews and discussions on these titles. It's evident that they genuinely care about keeping their audience informed and helping them make informed decisions about which games to invest their time in.

    On the downside, some listeners may find that The Besties doesn't focus enough on discussing lesser-known indie games. While they do touch upon these titles during their "Resties" segment, it would be great if they dedicated more time to highlighting these hidden gems. However, this is only a minor criticism in what is otherwise an excellent podcast.

    In conclusion, The Besties podcast is a fantastic listen for any fan of video games and the industry as a whole. With engaging discussions, diverse perspectives, and thoughtful critiques, it offers valuable insights into both popular and lesser-known titles. The chemistry among the hosts is palpable, and their passion for gaming is infectious. Whether you're looking for game recommendations or just want to hear entertaining banter about your favorite hobby, The Besties is a podcast that won't disappoint.

It should have said Fallout: New Vegas.
