The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve always been a bit of an odd gamer. There’s not really any one type of game I enjoy or despise. I like at least one game in every genre. From Final Fantasy, Persona, Nier to Mutant League Football, Rocket League, NBA Jam to Telltale’s Walking Dead, Detroit:Become Human, and Until Dawn. I love games in general. And for someone like me this podcast is perfect! Even when I don’t agree with the episode (looking at you episode 100) I still find it to be great to listen to another point of view. I might not always agree but their counterpoints are always well presented and articulated. Great job on the podcast and keep up the great work!

There is nice chill vibe to this podcast that I enjoy. They have a range of opinions on the show. Only thing is sometimes I feel that they aren’t always as intentional with their critiques. For example: not sure how Dragon’s Dogma was called an amazing game and none of it’s obvious flaws were dealt with any detailed criticism. Great if you just want to listen to conversations about games. (Also they have a huge catalog of games to choose from)

This is a great podcast with great discussions and breakdowns of games and mechanics. Very good to go to after finishing a game and hearing in depth thoughts and discussion.

I really enjoy the long format podcasting for this show. It’s a relaxing way to kick back and learn about my favorite class retro games. Highly recommend.

I kept waiting for any of the hosts to correct each other's wrong takes about SMT3 Nocturne's gameplay, but with the exception of Leah who used a walkthrough, they all missed blatant mechanics, switched to easy mode, then complained that easy mode lessened the game's impact. Nobody seemed to differ in opinion or insight, and the show's pacing felt disjointed since there was never any disagreement or rebuttal throughout the entire episode.

Also it bugged me how someone kept suggesting that FromSoftware might have taken inspiration from Nocturne's method of minimalist storytelling for Dark Souls, despite that From had been using that style since King's Field from 1994.
