Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan, and Ace are locking in for a deep
dive on Highguard, the bold new Hero Shooter everyone in gaming is
suddenly arguing about. We break down what Highguard actually is, how its combat systems and progression feel in practice.

But the conversation doesn’t stop at mechanics. We dig into the ongoing review bombing surrounding Highguard—where it started, what complaints are legitimate, and where bad-faith outrage muddies the
conversation. How much should players trust aggregate scores, and how does this kind of backlash shape the way video games are received at launch?

From art direction and difficulty spikes to long-term replayability and post-launch support, this episode separates signal from noise. If you care about thoughtful criticism, modern gaming culture, and how video games live or die in the court of public opinion, this is a must-listen episode of the Video Gamers Podcast.

Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan and Ace are rolling back the clock from 2008 to today looking at the Indie Game of the Year—and to ask a bigger question: at what point did indie games stop being “impressive for indies” and
just become impressive, period? From early breakout hits to modern GOTY contenders, we trace the moments that reshaped expectations, budgets, and creative freedom, while digging into the video games history that forced the mainstream to pay attention.

Along the way, we debate which releases truly changed the conversation, how scope and polish evolved, and whether the indie label even means the same thing anymore. This is a thoughtful, opinionated deep dive packed with context, hot takes, and a few friendly arguments. If you love
gaming conversations that challenge old assumptions and celebrate great video games no matter where they come from, this episode is for you—and a must-listen for anyone who cares about how gaming has changed forever.
