This episode of Indieventure EXTRA is a long-awaited reunion between Liam and Ed Thorn, reviews editor at PC-focused website Rock Paper Shotgun (we’ve never heard of it).
Ed discusses his history with games, how he became a games journalist and the challenges of balancing indie game coverage alongside more financially stable AAA content. The pair also chat about what makes a good video game review, Ed reveals his favourite indie from 2024, and there is a 5-minute section where the phrase “Beast Mode” is uttered about 45 times. It makes sense in context. Sort of.
You can find Ed’s good words over at Rock Paper Shotgun.
Here are the Redfall and Sonic Frontiers videos mentioned in the episode. Inventory Space only lasted two episodes, but it’s still worth a watch.
Enjoy!
