Chapter 1: 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.

Chapter 2: What are the most overrated indie games?
You're amongst safety. We're in the trust tree right now. It is... wildly overrated what i mean just like you don't have to be a graphic snob to just hate on this it's the graphics are are ridiculous it you know it's a cozy game what is that code for just like not trying like boring to like make something that's just meh so i mean i get it
We're going to get a million messages of how horrible it is, hopefully, because that's engagement. We're in so much trouble.
We're in so much trouble.
Three old men hate on most beloved game of all time. Why would you want to waste your time playing this? I understand that there's aspects that make people feel good and kind of just can sit back and unwind, but that doesn't make an amazing game. It just makes something that's good for you.
You tell me you don't like to do your virtual chores every day, Ryan, and go talk to all the people in the town and build relationships in the game instead of in real life.
You know, one thing I like to do after chores at the house is more chores virtually. Exactly. It's not an indie game, but The Sims. It was good for its time back in the late 90s, early 2000s. Why are people still playing The Sims, dude?
Because it's got vampires and werewolves, too.
So at least it has something. It's the sandbox element. I get it. Listen, so Stardew Valley, and this is a thing. Cozy games are not for me. My wife absolutely loves cozy games, dude. In fact, it's one of the few genres that she'll actually play. She's playing the Kirby's Dream Island or whatever the Kirby cozy game knockoff of Animal Crossing is. And she loves it, dude. She loves it.
This is her piece. And I love that for her. And this is not to slander cozy games as a genre because I get it. A lot of times after a hard day's work and you want to just de-stress, this is the perfect way to do it. But the goal of this episode, is it overrated or is it underrated? And it sounds to us like we all agree that Stardew Valley is overrated now. Overrated.
