From Switch 2 Shine To PS2 Grit: Hades 2, Red Dead...

Unofficial Controller Podcast ·

2025/12/14

Send us a text Hades 2 feels like the rare sequel that actually earns its extra systems. We dig into the above world’s health-drain tension, smart spellcrafting, and why a simple fishing rod supports progression without padding the grind. Then we pivot into Red Dead Redemption’s PS5 upgrade and make the case for “gentle touch-ups” over full remasters—60 fps and cleaner presentation that keep the dust, silence, and tone intact. If you just finished Red Dead 2, this is a powerful continuation t...

Solo Save: Games, News, And Q&A

Unofficial Controller Podcast ·

2025/12/07

Send us a text Ever have a week where you just want a straight hit of games, news, and honest opinions without the fluff? That’s the energy today. I kick things off with Hades 2 on Switch 2 and why its small, thoughtful touches—like audio cues that swell into boss fights—make it the perfect half-hour loop when life is busy. The Switch 2 port holds steady in handheld and docked, and those fast runs keep piling up because the friction is basically gone. From there, we dig into three stories th...

2025/11/23

Send us a text A shooter can live or die by how it feels in your hands. That’s where we start: unpacking why Halo’s air control and sticky mid-jump chaos still feel unmatched, while Resistance 2’s heavier, cover-first design delivers a different kind of tension. From checkpoint pain to flow states, we break down how movement, framerate, and responsiveness shape the stories we remember long after credits roll. Then we jump into Hades 2 on Switch 2, running at a buttery 120 FPS at 1080p. We di...

Games Were Better When They Were Bold

Unofficial Controller Podcast ·

2025/11/16

Send us a text What if the best gaming experiences aren’t the biggest, but the most focused? We kick off with Resistance 2 and talk through how creepier enemies, smarter encounters, and a tighter campaign deliver more satisfaction than bloated epics. It’s a reminder that balance matters, and 12–15 hour games still hit a sweet spot when your schedule doesn’t. That idea comes alive when we return to Liberty City. Replaying Grand Theft Auto IV feels like opening a time capsule and finding it sh...

Send us a text A real-time Pokémon that actually feels dangerous, a breakout-bullet-hell roguelike we can’t put down, and a PlayStation handheld that just became useful overnight—this week goes hard on design, value, and where gaming is headed next. We start with Pokémon Legends Z-A, which swaps turn-based comfort for dodge-rolls, boss-scale Mega encounters, and a day-night cadence that pushes exploration and risk. The world still shows its Switch 1 seams, but the loop is tight, the quests st...

2025/10/26

Send us a text Big year. Bigger questions. We kick things off with that familiar tug between what we used to play and what actually fits life now — and it turns out single-player indies are meeting the moment. Expedition 33 becomes our touchstone: a sharp blend of turn-based planning and real-time timing that rewards mastery without punishing those who prefer defense builds. Its countdown mythos, voice acting, and expedition logs show how smart scope and strong direction can outshine budget. ...

We’re launching Flashback, a brand-new channel dedicated to jumping into specific months of gaming history—magazine covers, previews that never shipped, weird accessories, and those console wars that lit up schoolyards. Think time capsules you can listen to: March ’94 one week, 2006 the next, maybe 1979 after that. The main show stays free, and Sundays now bring double downloads.

Switch 2, Star Wars, and the Shape of Next-Gen

Unofficial Controller Podcast ·

2025/10/12

Send us a text Retro joy met modern surprise the moment we put Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 and saw a handheld punch way above its weight. We share what actually happened in docked and handheld tests, why performance felt close to PS5 at a glance, and where the cracks showed—two crashes tied to online checks that reminded us this era still leans on servers even when you’re playing solo. From there, we kept the momentum with a warm return to South Park: The Stick of Truth, Resistance on PS3, ...

We start with a surprisingly great wired “travel dock” setup and land on the big takeaway: on a café table, inches from your eyes, the Switch 2 screen is a tiny theater. From there we dive into Grand Bazaar and why its market-day core loop is so addictive—limited plots, clever windmill crafting, sprite-power...
