Cyberpunk 2077 (2.0) is polished, ambitious, occasionally buggy—and far more emotionally interesting than its launch reputation suggests. We talk builds, story beats, DLC, and the strange shift that happens once V’s journey reaches the credits.

Alex kicks off Low Five’s holiday gaming season with a nostalgic look at the rituals, surprises, and annual traditions that remind us why gaming season hits different in winter.

Cult of the Lamb might be the cutest cult management simulator ever made. In this episode, Alex and Luke dig into Massive Monster’s roguelite hit — balancing dungeon runs, follower faith, rituals, and an unreasonable amount of poop cleanup.

The Plucky Squire might be one of the most beautiful games in recent memory. In this episode, Alex and Luke unpack its ambitious storybook mechanics, creative mini-games, and the strange “type two fun” experience that makes it memorable even when it’s frustrating.

Diablo IV isn’t complicated at its core: kill demons, collect loot, repeat. In this episode, Alex and Luke unpack Blizzard’s massive RPG — from character builds and co-op dungeon runs to the hypnotic rhythm that makes Sanctuary so hard to leave.

Curious about the Playdate? This little yellow handheld is making big waves with its quirky crank and indie spirit.

If you love unique hardware, creative games, or just want something different from the usual big brands, this is a console worth knowing.

Balatro looks like poker, but it plays like something much stranger. In this episode, Alex and Luke unpack the Joker-driven roguelike that quietly became one of the most addictive indie games of the decade.
