458: Star Wars Galactic Racer, Gears of War E-Day and WOW Forever

October 20, 2026 · 2 hr 13 min

Episode 458 is all about fresh starts. Star Wars: Galactic Racer takes the most tired part of racing games, the campaign, and rebuilds it as a roguelite with real stakes, a revenge story that actually lands, and a boost system that makes…
457: Control Resonant, WARDOGS and Marathon

October 6, 2026 · 1 hr 48 min

Control Resonant dropped the Service Weapon, swapped the Oldest House for a warped Manhattan, and became a character-action game. We dig into whether Remedy's shapeshifting melee combat and Dylan Faden's story make it one of the boldest…
456: The Blood of Dawnwalker, Resonance A Plague Tale Legacy and Marvel's Wolverine

September 22, 2026 · 2 hr 8 min

This week we dig into The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut RPG from Rebel Wolves, where Coen is human by day and vampire by night and the whole game is built around that split. Different powers, different routes, separate skill trees, and a…
455: Star Wars Zero Company, Grain Rot and War Dogs

September 8, 2026 · 2 hr 31 min

Star Wars Zero Company reviewed well, hit number one on Steam, and shipped with roughly 80% of its studio furloughed and unpaid. We came out of it in different places — one of us thinks the story is fine and the mechanics are genuinely…

August 25, 2026 · 2 hr 8 min

453: Halo Campaign Evolved, Funnel Runners and Ghost Recon Wildlands

August 11, 2026 · 2 hr 3 min

This week, Brett, Austin, and Jason cover four very different corners of gaming — starting with Halo: Campaign Evolved. Brett played the entire thing with zero nostalgia, and the remake genuinely won him over. But the three new prequel…
452: Palworld 1.0, Black Flag and Garden College Creator Zac Harvey Interview

July 28, 2026 · 3 hr 6 min

Palworld just did something almost no Early Access game manages — it actually finished. Roughly a quarter of Early Access games on Steam ever reach a full release, and Pocketpair's 60-person team crossed the line with a doubled map, a…
451: Soulframe, Gothic Remake and Assassin's Creed Black Flag

July 14, 2026 · 2 hr 12 min

This episode, Brett, Austin, and Jason open with Soulframe, Digital Extremes' fantasy follow-up to Warframe — a game that's rough in the first few hours and genuinely unlike anything else once its combat and story systems click. With…
450: Meccha Chameleon, Empulse and the XBox Reset

June 30, 2026 · 1 hr 48 min

This week on The Inner Gamer, Brett, Jason and Austin start with the indie story nobody saw coming: Meccha Chameleon, a $6 hide-and-seek party game from a nearly-solo Japanese dev team, sold millions of copies in days with zero marketing…
449: 007 First Light, Windrose and Destiny 2's Final Update

June 16, 2026 · 2 hr 36 min

448: Forza Horizon 6, Subnautica 2 and Lego Batman

June 2, 2026 · 2 hr 37 min

Welcome back to The Inner Gamer, the roundtable podcast dedicated to analyzing the ideas, trends, and time-value decisions shaping modern video games. This week, we are kicking things off by driving straight into the stunning landscape of…
447: Mixtape, Embark Studios and 500 Hours in Deadlock

May 19, 2026 · 2 hr 43 min

In this episode of The Inner Gamer, we pull back the curtain on the widening gap between stylistic hype and mechanical execution. We kick things off with a raw review of Mixtape, balancing its immaculate stop-motion aesthetic and killer…
