Gaming In The Wild - Video Game Reviews

This week's pod is a grab bag of new games, including some warm takes on the much anticipated pixel art adventure Mina The Hollower, and the widescreen stealth-action blockbuster 007: First Light. Then we have some mid-playthrough thoughts on dreamy photography game OPUS: Prism Peak, and what's going on with promising deckbuilder Fame or Folly (which I'm actually helping out on, a little!). Thanks for listening, folks!

This week's podcast is a double-header: we have a full featured review of the excellent, original, surprising Pragmata — and a pretty chunky look at the recently released and well-reviewed (and regrettably review-bombed) Mixtape. We're really in the thick of 2026 now, and the releases are coming thick and fast, so I decided to cover both games in one bumper hourlong episode.
In the roundup: Saros & OPUS: Prism Peak.
Enjoy, folks!

This week I'm joined by AP Thomson, the developer of Titanium Court, to discuss the release of one of the most creative indie games of the year so far. We talked about magic and mania, fairy stories, developing during lockdown, and the NYC gamedev scene that AP is a part of.
In the roundup: Pragmata, REPLACED, Dosa Divas, Mixtape.

This week's episode is a very special one. It's a conversation with Oscar Rydelius, aka Ratvader — the composer behind the inspired, symphonic soundtrack of Ultros, and its stunning audio and ambience. This interview was originally recorded for Lost In Cult as part of my work on the Ultros: Design Works book. It was included in the deluxe edition on CD. Special thanks to Shaun and Lost In Cult for agreeing that it should also go out in this public feed, for preservation's sake, and to reach as many people as possible.
