What is the main topic of this episode?
Hello fellow gamers and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Video games are an incredible passion and hobby, but one man's trash is another man's treasure. What might be overwhelmingly positive for one person might be a big thumbs down for someone else. Today, we're going to be playing overrated and underrated with some of the most popular indie titles, so you can decide which of us you love and hate. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh, and joining me, we're starting off this episode as best of friends, but depending on his answers, we might be mortal enemies by the end. It's Ryan.
You want to fight me now, bro? Let's go. Let's go. Yeah. I know what you're talking about. One game.
As long as you do not slander my game and call it overrated, we'll be all right. Right. All right.
All right.
All right. And joining us, he's the indie man himself, but there's no playing it safe in this episode. Will he invoke the wrath of the internet and speak truth or will he try to play it safe? It's ace.
Bring it on, baby. The truth's coming, whether you want to hear it or not.
Ace is like this whole Minecraft thing, dude. I'm a new man. Yeah, forget what people think of me, man. Just don't call me big skin.
Ace is callous now, man. Just turn up your hearing aids so you can listen to what we're saying, and then we're good to go. Oh, yeah. I love it. I love it. I see how it is.
Okay, so guys, I'm a little overexcited for this episode, man, because goodness gracious, this is going to be one that people are going to wind up commenting on. Ace, I got to give you credit. This was your idea. You are a glutton for punishment, my friend, because you were like, dude, indie episode, what if we do the most overrated and underrated indie games? And then we were like... That is a slippery slope, my friend. But we have never shied away from sharing an opinion. And, you know, that's what we're going to do today, man. We are going to take some of the most beloved indie titles out there and we are going to decide whether they are overrated or underrated. There is no... I think it's perfectly rated, guys.
No. You don't get to pick in between the lines. No, you got to go one or the other.
Yep. And then you got to explain yourself on top of that. So we... Listen, I feel like this episode needs to come with a disclaimer because I know that Greg is going to make some fire reels from some hot take on so much trouble. They're going to get put on social media and then like social media does, they're going to be like, you guys are idiots. How dare you say this game is overrated? And then we're going to be like, did you listen to the whole episode? And of course they didn't listen to the whole episode.
No, they didn't. I can tell you they didn't.
We are not saying that these games are bad games. In fact, these might be some of the best indie games in existence. all timers that's not the question the question is do you feel like this game is overrated or do you feel like it's actually underrated a little bit because that can happen too and so yes it's going to be hot takey yes it's going to be a little bit controversial controversial but that is the fun of it we've got some honorable mentions that we we're going to mention later on because i have a game that i am absolutely a couple actually that i am absolutely against the flow on
You'll make some enemies with those ones, I can promise you that. That's fine, man. I can take the heat, man. I can take it.
Let's just preface this by us saying we understand these games are fantastic. We are not slandering these games whatsoever. In fact, I'm pretty sure with the exception of one game, maybe two games. Actually, now that I look at three games that are on this list that I adore, except for these three games, which I think maybe are not quite so... I'm going to get in trouble, guys.
You are. Because you're too honest. You are, buddy.
Oh, man. Well. Here we go. Let's just start it off, guys. I mean, if people are going to hate me, let's make them hate me right off the rip, guys. Right away. Right away. Rip the Band-Aid off. First game up. This is a game that we have all played. Stardew Valley. Together, boys. Say it together.
