Podcasts about adventure games

Matt and Roses BOTH play games from their ranking list that they both dislike, though one is grumpier about it than the other. See if you can tell which one.After much rambling about classic point n clicks, Matt and Roses finally discuss (and gush over) the wonderfully written Perfect Tides: Station to Station.Games Mentioned: Order of the Sinking Star The Witness Braid Boxl Sokoban Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Jazz and Faust Dark Earth The Tragedy at Deer Creek Perfect Tides: Station to StationEmail us! mattandroses@gmail.comJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/fPv7hRgTeVFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/saveyourgamepodcast

Roses and Matt reflect on things they may or may not be experts on, then chit chat about a game and a new show they've been enjoying.While ranking every adventure game ever, Roses witnesses Matt, in real time, fall in love with two horrendous looking games. Games Mentioned: If On A Winters Night, Four Travelers Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Fungoria My Brother Rabbit Portrait of a Torn Victor: A Steampunk Adventure Samudra Greyhat: A Digital Detective Adventure Dark Earth Dark Fall: Ghost Vigil Transylvania Jazz and Faust The Uncertainty: Last Quiet Day The Lure of the Temptress Last Half of Darkness: Tomb of Zojir Born Punk Muscarine AKA Erica's TripEmail us! mattandroses@gmail.comJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/fPv7hRgTeVFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/saveyourgamepodcast

This week on Game Pass or Pass, we're hitting rewind and pressing play on Mixtape, the coming-of-age road trip adventure from Beethoven & Dinosaur and Annapurna Interactive. More than just a narrative game, Mixtape is a love letter to music, memory, and the awkward, exhilarating moments that define growing up. We dive into how the game's soundtrack drives the entire experience, why its unapologetically linear design feels more like playing through a favorite album than a traditional video game, and whether that approach helps or hurts the experience. We also explore the debate surrounding Mixtape's "indie" label. With a major publisher, a licensed soundtrack, and production values that rival much larger releases, where does it fit in today's gaming landscape? As the line between indie and AAA continues to blur, Mixtape has become part of a larger conversation about what "indie" even means anymore. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There are two Matts on this show! But only for a second, then one Matt turns back into PushingUpRoses. We talk about a ridiculous YouTuber-inspired creationist movie, Improvised Shakespeare, and trying to manifest a meet-cute. But, settle in folks, because the bulk of this episode is a break-down and basically gush-fest about the new(ish) adventure from Postmodern Games, The Dark Rites of Arkham. And now, we're both huge HP Lovecraft fans. Sorry...Games Discussed: Mina the Hollower Shovel Knight Banjo Kazooey Hollow Knight: Silksong Nightmare Frames An English Haunting The Dark Rites of Arkham Dreams in the Witch House Darkside Detective Call of the Sea Call of the Elder Gods Shadow of the Comet Chronicle of Innsmouth The Terrible Old Man DredgeEmail us! mattandroses@gmail.comJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/fPv7hRgTeVFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/saveyourgamepodcast

This week Anna and Paul are discussing Adventure Game Houses! Well, twenty of them anyway, there's a crazy amount of houses in adventure games if you start looking into it. They also try to define what a house in an adventure game is and they learn a little about themselves along the way. Also Paul says BDM instead of BDSM, several times, because quote "acronyms are hard". Mangia!

Happy new year! 2025 is possibly the best year for adventure games at least since the early nineties. And one of the games that could very well be best adventure game of the year is The Drifter from Australian studio Powerhoof and what better way to finish the year than an interview with the main developer, Dave Lloyd, who very kindly agreed to join Seoirse to talk about the game including the themes, story, gameplay and how on earth they managed to make this game feel so fast paced and still make it a point and click adventure game. All that and much more! As if that wasn't enough Seoirse reveals the date for the most popular AGP episode – The Adventure Game of the Year episode! More details to follow soon!

This week, Roses's Google Home becomes possessed and Matt cannot stop talking about Little Problems. The game, not his PERSONAL little problems.Then, Matt and Roses discuss a much-anticipated title from Grundislav Games - Rosewater! And well I'll be, it sure was a fun romp in the American Frontier. Games mentioned: Hollow Knight: Silksong Little Problems The Golden Idol games Callahan's Crosstime Saloon RosewaterEmail us! mattandroses@gmail.com

Ok, let's address the spider in the room: We could not find a way to play the Naked Gun game BUT we do come to you this week with stories of black jelly beans aand Roses dumping a scooter. Also, Matt is playing Hollow Knight: Silksong and has a lot to say about it.Then, Matt recently got to play a PushingUpRoses favorite, Callahan's Crosstime Saloon! Some come on a journey with us and Jake Stonebender through time and space and a cozy little bar while we SAVE THE UNIVERSE!Games Mentioned: Hollow Knight: Silksong Blasphemous Unbound: Worlds Apart Lone Fungus Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus Nine Sols Rosewater Callahan's Crosstime Saloon Jezzball The Journeyman Project The Naked Gun: I.C.U.P.Email us! mattandroses@gmail.com

WHY DON'T THEY HAVE WRESTLING MATCHES IN PUMPKIN PATCHES!? This isn't the set-up to a street joke, this is a genuine question that Matt has. Roses watched a fake movie starring Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. Matt played a “stealth team tactics game” with ghost pirates.BUT the real story here is that PushingUpRoses and Matt replayed a classic game from their youths that features a live-acted Christopher Lloyd in a fully cartoon world. It's called Toonstruck and it rules and the only bad thing about it is that they never released a sequel.Email us! mattandroses@gmail.comGAMES MENTIONED: The Naked Gun: I.C.U.P. Rusty Lake Series Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew Sword Game Toonstruck Grim Fandango Torin's Passage

We begin by answering the BIG question: What happened to Sobe?And then we talk about video games, I guess. Because that's what you demand of us.THIS WEEK we rank a bunch more adventure games – WHETHER WE'VE PLAYED THEM OR NOT. After Matt tells everyone about a free Rusty Lake game, we dive into the List ™ and throw 10 new games on our DEFINITIVE list!Email us! mattandroses@gmail.comGames Mentioned: The Beekeeper's Picnic The Drifter The Dagger of Amon Ra The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show Rusty Lake Series Turlock Holmes Toska Rosewater Reviver Quantum Witch Session Neon Hearts City Expelled Canteloupe Chronicles New Mage Urban Myth Resolution Center Slender Threads Time Paradox Helheim Hassle Forgotten Hill Tales Softporn Adventure Saint Kotar The Shine of a Star Love: A Puzzle Box Filled With Stories American Arcadia Cleopatra: Riddle of the Tomb The Labyrinth of Time
