ENA: Dream BBQ (2025): Is ENA A Person?

Infinite Cities ·

2026/04/25

In what might be our most surreal entry into the entire podcast feed, we're here to talk about ENA, an animation project only familiar to half of the team and perhaps only enjoyed by half the team as well. Stay tuned! in this episode: angry and grindset, a lot of areas, a peruvian avant-garde animated comedy series, bless you for your business, fanstuck, everyday ena, the purge event, feather went digging, it's the video game, dance party, froggering, the "good" ending, unforgiven frank, extra

Outward (2022): Should We Just Have Played Kenshi?

Infinite Cities ·

2026/04/17

There's something special about an open-world game developed by a small team with grand ambitions. You shouldn't expect AAA graphics or full voice acting, or even comprehensive menus, but there's innovation to be found. If you search long enough. Sorry, that's a bit mean. Outward is a good game with some annoying design decisions that makes the game difficult to get into. We'll tell you about it. In this episode: turmmip, Gep, continously somber, lotion candles, training away your thirst, mushroom

Marathon (2026): This Silkworm Has A MILF Voice?

Infinite Cities ·

2026/04/09

If the forces of industry ruin art, and this goes double for the games industry, then by the inverse failures are allowed the greatest artistic license. I'm not sure how Marathon came to exist like it does - someone somewhere made a series of bewildering, bizarre decisions - and then a whole team of people went about fucking cooking. Hopefully they'll be able to get to dessert, but if not, I can't say I'm not full already. In this episode: old macintoshes, bungo plz, extraction shooters, learning

Despelote (2025): Do You Care About Your Country?

Infinite Cities ·

2026/04/02

In 2002, Ecuador qualified for the world cup for the first time. This moment was so affecting, (future) game designer Julián Cordero became consious. This is a semi-autobiographical telling of those six wild months, and it works near flawlessly, transporting us back in time and across place. It's a wonder - but we've all kicked a ball around, and in this all humans are more alike than different. In this episode: liking sports, being eight, nationalistic pride, drone scans, google maps, very specific

Dread Delusion (2024): What's Wrong With These Islands?

2026/03/26

Karp gets to indulge himself in his favourite type of game: exploring weird-ass spaces. Join us in turning over every rock and checking behind every mushroom in this immersive sim-like retro-throwback. In this episode: don't pick Charmander, neuron stars, setting the setting, money sink, lockpicking minigames, first-world problems, drawing a map. ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the incredible Cliff, you can find him on Bandcamp!

Scott Pilgrim EX (2026): Are Beat-Em-Ups The Original...

Infinite Cities ·

2026/03/19

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER: Feather: loud and flighty. Special move: a take so bad all enemies on screen have to engage. Karp: stable and strong. Special move: has already beaten the game, so he can skip ahead to when he already won the fight. Will: fast and has bonus reach. Special move: crashes a bike into enemies for massive damage, hurting them as well as himself (but not the bike!) Gary: fun and supportive. Special move: cooks bomb-ass pasta, healing everyone on screen. Enemies get healed, but also

Slay the Spire (2019) - Are You Ready For The Sweat...

Infinite Cities ·

2026/03/14

For a game that is credited with popularizing the roguelike deckbuilder genre, Slay the Spire is surprisingly stripped down compared to everything that came after it. You build your deck, you fight monsters, you keep pushing onward. After our time with Inscryption and and Wildfrost, it almost feels strange going backwards to a game most of us have played, and half of us have beaten, before. This ep is a little all over the place, thanks daylight savings, because we're all sleepy and doing our best

2026/03/06

Gary's on the move so we take the chance to play something they absolutely loathe (/j): racing games. This is like an oasis in a WipEout-less world. In this episode: why did WipEout die, podracers, racing line, braking game, "one-and-a-half good games", ancient fox girl, "nightcar dubstep". ~Shoutout zone~ Redout OST - Pipe Down ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the incredible Cliff, you can find him on Bandcamp!

UNBEATABLE (2025): How Many Cars Do These Cops Have?

2026/02/27

This is the best worst game we have played so far. What a glorious mess. In this episode: jank jank jank, ska, categorizing rhythm games, legibility issues, mapping left and right to up and down, peak, the sewer level, poco and apoco are here! posters, petty band drama, incoherence, conspiracies, homestuck. ~shoutouts zone~ The best trailer of all time Two Tone Army 2 Mello - Twist Sound ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the incredible Cliff, you can find him on Bandcamp!

Kentucky Route Zero (2013*) Part 2: Should You Go?

Infinite Cities ·

2026/02/20

It's a mark of praise that KRZ so frequently ends up compared with our favorite narrative games -it it's in the same space as Disco Elysium, Citizen Sleeper, Night in the Woods. Just because it frequently comes off worse in those comparisons doesn't mean it's not secretly great. It's just tired, and all out of answers - and maybe that's the only way this story could be honest. In this episode: no bits, aging games, literally figuratively literally robots, midpoints and looking back, Xanadu is butts,

Kentucky Route Zero (2013*) Part 1: If You Were Dead,...

Infinite Cities ·

2026/02/13

Kentucky Route Zero wants to be art so badly, and it genuinely succeeds - this is a beautiful game, both visually and artistically. But a game that is art is less revolutionary in 2013, and our relationships to rural Appalachia have changed as well. Is this game a ghost of the past? Is that the intended outcome, from the very beginning? There are no answers but the ones in your heart. In this episode: ten years, silhouette, dogs and names of dogs, maps (fictional and otherwise), lighting, debt,

BPM: Bullets Per Minute (2020): What's A Hexapod?

Infinite Cities ·

2026/02/05

You think you got a sense of rhythm? You think you can shoot good? You think you know roguelites? What about all of them at once? Now make the game monochrome and don't tell the player anything. I kid, there is a good game here if you look under the jank. In this episode: big pile of enemies, absolute friendslop, hypebeast GOAT, hexapod (look it up), fire on the quarters, reload on the eights, DOOM 2016 but with heavy metal(?), healthmaxxing, overcomplaining, sick birds. ~~~ Our theme music is Glass

Pentiment (2022) Part 2: Is This Just Qualityslop?

Infinite Cities ·

2026/01/31

Pentiment is a game that is good. I might even argue that it's very good. But it's a game with fussy mechanics. It's a murder mystery that isn't interested in the answers. It's vague about it's truths. Pentiment is a tale about how history is preserved; about how truth is obfuscated. It's a tale about heritage and oral tradition and art. It's absolutely about art. Feather, Will, and Gary are finishing up the game this week and while only two of the three of us finished the game, we still very much

Endless Monday (2023): Is This Dilbert For Millenials?

Infinite Cities ·

2026/01/22

This episode wound up a bit of a fever dream disaster, but honestly - it couldn't have ended up any other way. The game is a fever dream disaster, about a disaster having a fever dream. While it sounds like we're just making things up as we go along, I promise this isn't Shrekisode II - everything we mention actually happens in Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines. I think. Maybe. Ok, I did start this game at midnight saturday, so... maybe it is all a collective hallucination. You'll have to play it

Keeper (2025) - Why Am I Doing?

Feather is away which means we're getting up to shenanigans with a weird little game again! Keeper is a gorgeous, vibes based puzzle game about a creepy lighthouse and his bird pal, uhm, saving the world?? I think?? Don't worry about the plot, just enjoy the experience. in this episode: immediate complaints, the evil goo, achievement lore, time shit, creepy little lighthouse creature, bad camera movements, weird little guys, massive emplaced hybrid organisms, samus morphball time, just vibes ~~~

GOTY 2025: But Did This Make Me Cry?

2025 was absolute butts! Heck, even a lot of the games in 2025 were pretty butts! That doesn't mean there weren't some absolute masterpieces though, and we sit down in our annual look back to talk through the games that affected us the most: games that were wonderful, surprising, heartbreaking, and sometimes just stupid (positive). In this episode: movie of the year (it's kpop demon hunters OBVS), the year 202026 is going to be our year, games everyone has to play, tight little 8-hour packages,

#DRIVE Rally (2025) - Did We Make This One Extra Salty?

This week, we gotta go fast, because we're racing baby! From the snow banks of Finland to the mountainous curves of Japan, we're all over the map this week as we speed around in knockoff rally cars alongside many questionally stereotypical navigators! It's #DRIVE Rally! in this episode: making it salty, legally distinct cars, finishing the finnish campaign, sims vs arcades, problems with handling, the nature of hating the game, just a kiss from the road, stop putting the AE86 in things, outrageous

Pentiment (2022): What If Andreas Had A Gun?

Infinite Cities ·

2025/12/12

Pentiment's existience feels like a miracle. It's a game that has the deep, super-niche obsession to a specific detail, created by an established double A studio with the backing of Microsoft. A game that wants, more than anything else, to be a portrait of a time. A desire to show an art form (illuminated manuscript) not as the flat, tattered, and dated museum piece but as representative of a living, chaning era. There's also a mystery! A good one! With some fantastic decisions, both major and

What Else Have You Been Playing?

2025/12/04

Things are a little hectic, schedule-wise, so we're taking some time to chat through games that aren't podcast games! Gary has infinite stories from Outer Worlds 2 (plus Nikke: Goddess of Victory, although gachaslop gets exiled to the shoutouts zone), Karp's holding hands with Swordcraft Story 2 (and still playing Grandblue Fantasy) and Feather's lost in the Noita sauce while also getting absolutely shelled in Foxhole. Also: Cogmind, One Piece, and Pentiment (but only a little) In this episode: what
