DGR 176 – High on Life 2 – Is Bigger Better? Sep 20, 2026

Show notes

What’s up, Kids! Paul and Josh are diving into High on Life 2—the only game where the guns talk more trash than we do. Expect bizarre aliens, questionable decisions, and enough chaos to make us wonder who approved either of us to save the universe.

DGR 175 – A Plague Tale: Innocence & Requiem Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

Hey, Kids! Paul and Josh are stepping into the rat-infested nightmare of A Plague Tale: Innocence (Paul) & Requiem (Josh). Join us as we dodge the Inquisition, protect little Hugo, and discover how medieval France apparently didn’t believe in pest control!

DGR 174 – The Fall of Quantic Dream Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

What's Up, Kids! Paul and Josh are talking about The Fall of Quantic Dream and how they gave us masterful games like Heavy Rain, Beyond and Detroit. Then proved choices really do have consequences and after Spellcasters flopped, management planned layoffs and left Star Wars Eclipse trapped in the longest QTE ever. #QuanticDream #Gaming #DadsGameReview

DGR 173 – Moss: The Forgotten Relic Aug 09, 2026

Show notes

Hey Kids! Josh and I are talking about Moss—the heartwarming story of a brave little mouse forced to save an entire kingdom because all the qualified adults were apparently busy. We discuss Quill’s adorable adventures, clever puzzles, gorgeous world, and our repeated attempts to prove that two grown men can be outsmarted by a game featuring a mouse with a sword. Quill may be tiny, but she carries this adventure—and occasionally our dignity—on her back. Listen now at Dad’s Game Review! #Moss #DadsGameReview #GamingPodcast #IndieGames

DGR 172 – The Precinct Aug 01, 2026

Show notes

What's up, Kids! Josh and I hit the streets in The Precinct, determined to clean up the city one traffic ticket, car chase, and wildly unnecessary use of police resources at a time. Josh tries to uphold the law while I discover that a badge is basically permission to drive terribly with the sirens on. Then, in the middle of recording, my living-room TV decided to come off the wall—because apparently the real crime was how poorly that thing had been mounted. Protect and serve? We mostly crashed, swerved, and tried to keep the television from becoming a homicide victim.

DGR 171 – Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Jul 04, 2026

Show notes

Hey, Kids! Paul and Josh dust off their katanas and dive into Onimusha—the game that asked, "What if samurai fought demons... and tank controls?" We slice, dice, absorb enough souls to concern a therapist, and try to remember which door needed the crest shaped like a left-handed angry octopus. Is this PS2 legend still a masterpiece, or has time been the biggest demon of them all? Tune in before Josh starts trying to parry every conversation.

DGR 170 – Commodore 64 Ultimate Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

What's Up Kids! This week on Dad's Game Review, Paul and John crack open the Commodore 64 Ultimate, a machine designed to answer the age-old question: "What if 1982 had HDMI?" Join them as they celebrate one of gaming's most iconic computers, relive the glory days of floppy disks, and marvel at a device that somehow makes retro gaming feel brand new again.

DGR 169 – FMV Games II Jun 07, 2026

Show notes

Hey Kids! This week on Dads Game Review, we're talking FMV games—the genre where Hollywood almost met video games and both sides walked away confused. From vampires in Night Trap to murder mysteries, bad acting, and impossible-to-fail quick-time events, we're revisiting the interactive movie craze that somehow keeps making a comeback. Are FMV games underrated classics or just glorified DVD menus? Tune in as we find out.

DGR 168 – MixTape May 23, 2026

Show notes

What's up, Kids! Josh and Paul dive into Mixtape, Annapurna’s nostalgic coming-of-age adventure packed with awkward teen moments, killer music vibes, and emotional damage disguised as memories. Almost if a clearance rack and Urban Outfitters was turned into a video game. Does it hit the right notes or just rewind the same old tape? Tune in and find out.
