Ever wondered what it’s like to record a podcast episode beside a hastily erected chain link fence while one of us is camouflaged as a tumbleweed? Tune in to this week's episode of the Unofficial Controller Podcast as we catch up with RGT and his latest gaming obsession, "Dave the Diver" on PS5. We dive into his 15-hour journey filled with balanced gameplay and captivating narratives, and compare our different strategies on hiring and upgrading staff in the game—expect plenty of laughs and insightful tips.

Next, we take a stroll down memory lane to discuss how the British home computing scene shaped our gaming tastes, especially our complex relationship with JRPGs. From reminiscing about the limited JRPG offerings on systems like the Master System to modern-day accessible gems like Trials of Mana and the Pixel Remaster series, we cover it all. Plus, we share our love-hate relationship with the Evercade console and the practical challenges of moving large game collections, offering a nostalgic yet practical perspective on retro gaming.

We then embark on a rollercoaster critique of Star Wars video games, from initial disappointments to exhilarating experiences that rekindle childhood fantasies. Our deep dive into new titles like "Star Wars Outlaws" highlights both their immersive elements and frustrating flaws. We also shine a spotlight on the phenomenal "Astro Bot" , discussing its potential as a game of the year contender. Wrapping up, we explore the pros and cons of the newly unveiled PS5 Pro, and share our genuine excitement for upcoming indie action games. Join us for a wild ride through El Paso, Texas, with the enigmatic Pastor Longhorn and a dose of gaming passion that’s sure to keep you entertained.
