Married with Video Games Podcast

Matthew played through Evil West on the PS5 and honestly, it was fun to play through an old school linear shooter game for a change.

It's our annual review episode! We touch on every game we played in 2022, our favorites and our least favorites, and what we're looking forward to in 2023.

Christina played Hades! It is just as fantastic as it was when it released back in 2020. We can absolutely see why it won indie of the year at The Game Awards back then. It's a blast.

It's the annual Halloween episode! This year we managed to make our way through Resident Evil Village and finally interact with giant vampire lady everyone freaked out about! Also, it's a solid Resident Evil game!

For our 50th (50TH!!!) MWVG episode, Christina played Tunic! Her first Soulslike game! Matthew-approved! Excellent music and great combat and a fantastic throwback to the old-school days of gaming, this one was a ton of fun.

It took eight months, but Matthew finally beat Horizon Forbidden West! Listen, if you are a fan of open world games with piles upon piles of side quests and upgrading mechanics, this is absolutely your game. Also, Ashly Burch is still the best.

Christina plays her first roguelike! Matthew got to watch! We had fun with this one for different reasons and to everyone's surprise, we actually have ratings that are completely different!

Matthew and Christina finally got the Steam Deck! We give our first impressions of the device/system and then do a quick review of the first game we bought and played on it: Power Wash Simulator! It's exactly what it sounds like!

Christina finally got to play the cat game on the PS5! Stray was all sorts of adorable and entertaining with a fantastic soundtrack that Matthew enjoyed.

Christina got to play some heavy duty nostalgia when Pokémon Snap came out on the Nintendo Switch Online virtual console, and Matthew got to sit back and watch. It is an incredibly fun, very short, mindless game with old school Pocket Monsters.

Matthew made Christina play EarthBound, one of his favorite JRPGs from his childhood. It's a brand new genre for Christina, and it honestly still holds up really well!

It's Elden Ring! Everyone, it's finally Elden Ring! Matthew played 70+ hours before we could record this one, and it's definitely this generation of consoles' Breath of the Wild. It's a heck of a lot of fun for a Souls game.

Matthew and Christina head 24 years into the past to play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch Online. While the port is terrible, the game itself is still all sorts of wonderful.

Matthew and Christina are BACK in 2022 with a fantastic, hilarious game: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. It definitely deserves its win at TGA for Best Story. And it's absolutely hilarious, please go play it now if you haven't yet.

It was a crazy year for video games! Matthew and Christina talk about everything they played this year, everything they didn't finish playing, and what we're anticipating the most for 2022.

Matthew made Christina play Diablo III doing couch co-op and it is a surprising amount of fun for someone who knows nothing about the series! 

It's our annual Halloween episode! This year's spooktacular game was Alan Wake Remastered. Matthew had a fun nostalgia trip and Christina got to experience the Stephen King-esque game from Remedy Entertainment.

Matthew finished playing Deathloop a few weeks ago, and he and Christina finally found a few minutes to sit down and record this episode. We promise things won't be so crazy at some point. Also, Deathloop is pretty decent, albeit overhyped.

Matthew fell absolutely in love with Hollow Knight and played the heck out of it over the span of a week. Christina popped in and out and enjoyed the aesthetics and music of this Metroidvania-style game.

It's the season finale for Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-Kun! We get more understanding of what exactly the Demon King does for the underworld, and Matthew and Christina try to figure out what the heck to watch next.

Married Watching Anime returns after a week off with more Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-Kun! And it is a perfectly adorable episode, as we finally get the coveted date episode with Iruma and Ameri.

Matthew once again powered through Axiom Verge 2 in a handful of days and Christina enjoyed watching this more puzzle-based sequel. Also, baby Henry makes a special guest appearance!

Married Watching Anime covers another filler episode of Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-Kun, but it's one of the best filler episodes so far because we get to see Clara's house in all its crazy glory.

Matthew powered through Axiom Verge on PlayStation in the span of three days and Christina had a heck of a time just watching everything unfold. It's a fun Metroidvania throwback game!

Married Watching Anime returns with the wrap-up of the Walter Park mini arc and a very cute scene between Iruma and Ameri that Matthew and Christina both loved.
