This week on the show, we talk about The Drifter, the Adventure Game genre, Haunted Lands, Slay the Spire 2, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and so many other things that bring us joy. Thank you for listening :)

We've decided to rename our show and change the format up a little bit. But we'll still be bringing you games each week, and this way we'll love doing it even more!!

Welcome to Gamejoy, a show about rooting joy in games and expressing earnest thoughts. Jamie and Jonny can't wait to bring it to you. This week we talk about Esoteric Ebb, The Drifter, the immense process of trying to get a modded PS2 from the UK to work, and...CBS's Elementary?

OddCore is a fun new take on the first-person shooter. Its rogue-lite elements extend a hand to a whole new audience of more casual players, but in its Early Access state does the difficulty match the pitch? Jamie and Jonny talk it out this week on Bargain Bin. 

Dead Pets is a very punk game. Because feelings are punk. And Dead Pets will make you feel if you can get through it. Are there enough hooks in this narrative life sim to pull you through to the end? Listen in to find out.

Rightfully, Beary Arms has us a little sick of the Rogue-lite formula. Entering those procedurally generated dungeons time after time needs to have tangible hooks in order to work. And where do more linear, narrative-based games find their value in our current era of games? All of this and more on this week's episode. Thanks for being here.

Escape from Ever After is an absolute gem of video game writing, whimsy, and characterization. It's the definitive heir to the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door throne. What a wonderful game! 

Hi there, folks. This week we discuss a little game that tries to do too much. It's so stylish, though. With those crunchy PSx graphics we all love. And the characters are...DOGS?! So cute. Will the detective mechanics tip the scale one way or another? Listen in to find out. As a bonus, Jamie and Jonny also discuss Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved – a good detective romp that came out at the end of last year. Don't miss this one. It's jam-packed full of interactive entertainment.

MarvinWizard, the developer of this week's game, really must be a wizard. He packs nostalgic joy and pulse-pumping action into one beautiful, mechy, polygonal game. Even Dunkey streamed this shit. Where have you been? Under a rock?! Have a listen to this week's episode to hear Jamie and Jonny's thoughts. 

It's slop week!!! We played a really shitty game. Please still listen anyway...I guess.

Jamie and Jonny cover one of 2025's most wondrous indie titles. It's a dreary, sometimes spooky, always vibey and chill driving game where you make deliveries and uncover secrets. Our spoilers are demarcated with ethereal piano. Cute feline truckers beware!
