Bonfireside Chat: A Dark Souls and Elden Ring Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’m a big fan of the souls series and I like listening to these guys do a deeper dive into the lore, mechanics and game design. I think they often bring a unique critical perspective. Often times many podcasters and YouTubers just go on about how awesome a game is without any critical thinking. This podcast is intentional to explain why they think what they think about a game.

I love this show. I go through an area or two of a Dark Souls game—or Elden Ring—on my own and then I bask in that experience by listening to these podcasts. The insight that Gary and Kole provide and the way they talk about things helps me understand and appreciate the game more, and I often hear them mention something that I missed in a given area. When that happens, I can go back into the area and catch up on the quest I overlooked, grab that missing item, or appreciate a view.

This is a fantastic, and dare I say, crucial companion to Elden Ring (as well as other Dark Souls titles!). Gary and Kole are fantastic at exploring the lore and gameplay. I’m so glad I came across this podcast, and have happily been listening to the paid content as I make my journey to become Elden Lord!

A labor of love project. When Elden Ring released I spent two weeks doing research to see if this was finally the time to jump into the world of Soulsborne. This podcast helped me make that decision. Really well thought out episodes, w fantastic relaying of levels and events and most importantly LORE. Also love the series on berzerk. So thoughtful and tastefully done. Well done gents.
