Popular Reviews of Retronauts

Best video game podcast

I've been listening to Retronauts since its original incarnation at 1UP, more than a decade ago, and it's remained one of my favorite gaming podcasts. I like the deep dives that the show takes into classic games, both for the nostalgia factor and for how it both provides more historical context for the games I loved and shows how they influenced contemporary gaming. I also appreciate that as the show has progressed, it's started touching on some of the social and cultural aspects around games and gaming, acknowledging issues of representation both in the games and behind the scenes.
