Are games getting better or worse? | underleveled ep.029

What is the best length for a TV show? When should we leave old franchises alone? We get into our feelings on these topics this episode! We spend our time exploring and comparing media like The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos, Alien, Predator, and a good couple others. We look at some of the shows that did a great job at finishing their run and a lot that fumbled the bag. And finally, Hushav has chance to talk about his projections for the Sonic movies. Please enjoy this episode of the underleveled podcast!

There are so many games on Steam that have the RPG tag when they really shouldn't. At least that's what Björn thinks. In this episode we look at what it really means for a game to be an RPG as well as inZOI (the Sims challenger), the Borderlands movie, and some of the news around Black Myth: Wukong. Please enjoy this episode of the underleveled podcast!

The Borderlands movie exists. It feels like every month we get another film or game or show that really didn't need to exist - or at the very least should have been created with a bit more love for the source material. In this episode we talk a lot about all kinds of remakes that we did and didn't like, and also about some media we believe we would be able to bring to life respectfully. Please enjoy this episode of the underleveled podcast!

In this episode we talk all about stars that have risen and fallen. We look at some of the biggest YouTubers and whether they've truly fallen off or if our perception of falling off is actually wrong. We then go on to look at some mental health problems and how fame often times goes hand-in-hand with insecurity. Please enjoy!

In today's episode we spend a lot of time comparing things from the past to things today and ask whether they are better or worse. Yes, some of it has to do with games but a lot is just random tangents with no real purpose. Please enjoy as we talk way too much about poo,  a bit about modern vs. past video games, and even a little about German food.

No Man's Sky got ANOTHER free update - Worlds Part 1 - and Bjorn can't stop frothing about it. So to give him a safe space to speak and get it out of his system, we spend this episode talking all about Hello Games and the rocky road from No Man's Sky's initial release to the present state of the game and what the studio's future holds. Please enjoy this episode of Underleveled (which is pretty much just Bjorn's TEDTalk).

Which sports could we realistically compete in? According to this episode, quite a lot. Please enjoy this episode with a lot of misplaced confidence. We break down many of the sports that will be featured at the Olympics in Paris and which ones we believe we have a reasonable shot at actually being able to compete in.

An elf that's trying to lose some weight, a human commander in the demon lord's army, and a doctor in the body of a teen trying to find his mother's killer. What do they all have in common? They're the protagonists of some of the anime from this season! Please enjoy this episode as we talk about the past season's anime and have a look and the season ahead.

Job simulators! They're everywhere nowadays. We talk about when the new craze started, some of the games we've been playing (like Supermarket Simulator and Gas Station Simulator), and whether or not they're actually fun or just addictive. Please enjoy as we try our best to dissect this game genre.

In today's episode, we talk about all the gaming directs and showcases and forwards and fests that have been hitting us from every direction. We have a look at some the announced games that have us chomping at the bit to play, the ones that are so generic that it's tough to tell them apart, and the ones that had us go: "huh?". Please enjoy as we express our feelings about the coming months of gaming releases!
