Married with Video Games Podcast

Matthew and Christina made it through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with its excellent combat, excellent music, excellent story, and excellent voice cast. It just took us a while to get through it and we're sorry. But it's worth the wait. This game is incredible.

After a brief hiatus, Matthew and Christina are back with a review of Donkey Kong Bananza, a fun rampaging time. Christina is adamant that this is what the Nintendo Switch 2 should have launched with, but maybe that's from all the bananas she ingested playing as Donkey Kong.

Christina finished playing South of Midnight a month ago. The storytelling, the music, the atmosphere, the visuals are all so absolutely top-notch, but it falls short when it comes to the combat. That being said, if you play video games for the story or the vibes, you need to play this. We also give a quick opinion-dump at the start about the Nintendo Switch 2!

Matthew played through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle while Christina got to watch an excellent Indiana Jones not-movie and listen to the fantastic vocals of Troy Baker. But seriously, this game will make you want to watch the original trilogy after every gameplay session. The storytelling and vibes are absolute perfection.

Matthew and Christina got to play a video game together! They played through Hazelight Studios' It Takes Two, which is an incredible amount of fun.

We did it. We made it through Black Myth: Wukong. This game had its ups and downs in the difficulty of its bosses (and there are plenty). But if you like Soulslike games and a challenge, you'll enjoy it. 

Christina played the heck out of Astro Bot! There's definitely a reason it won Game of the Year in 2024 (we dive into that, too). It's also incredibly adorable and is an excellent modern-day platformer.

It's our annual roundup episode! We go through all the games we played throughout 2024, our favorites and least favorites, what we're excited for in 2025, and gush over Alan Wake II, somehow.

Matthew and Christina have been playing the heck out of Balatro, which, if you didn't know, won Indie Game of the Year at the Game Awards. It deserves it. We can't write this description anymore because we have to go back to playing more Balatro.

Matthew played through the Dead Space Remake that came out in 2023 and had so many jump scares. Even Christina managed to get a jump scare! This is a solid remake and still so very, very creepy and atmospheric.
