Description
State of the Save is a video game podcast and book club for gamers who love deep discussion. Hosts Eric and Michael play through a single game together and break it down over multiple episodes with spoiler-aware, long-form discussions. Every installment is a deep dive into the games worth talking about: from big AAA franchises like Metal Gear Solid, to indie darlings like Firewatch, to cult classics like Parasite Eve. Perfect for fans of fun, gameplay-rich, story-driven games who want more than a review.
