RSS Feed|Apple Podcasts|SpotifyWhat’s up PC gamers? Welcome back to the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast! How has everyone’s week been so far? I hope you’ve been finding plenty of time to play games and do the other things you love outside of general life stresses.For the 10 or so years they’ve been around, Steam reviews have been a great source of entertainment to me. Occasionally they help make an informed decision on whether a game should be going into my cart, but most of the time they’re a collection of inside jokes, goofy references to the game being reviews and can be genuinely rather funny.With so many Steam reviews sounding downright silly out of context, they’re the perfect fodder to pluck and challenge each other to guess which game is being talked about. So that’s exactly what myself and Lauren are doing this week! We’ve each pulled a handful of Steam reviews for games that appeared in our PC Gamer Top 100 list last year—we had to try and narrow downall the gamessomehow—and we’re making each other figure out where the review came from.It’s a nice chill episode so kick back and maybe try and suss out each one along with us. If you’ve got some Steam reviews that you still think about years after reading them, head over to thePC Gamer forumsand tell us about them. We’ll have a thread set up for this week’s episode—let us know how many of our reviews you got right and share some of your own.As always, catch us at the beginning of the episode to see what we’ve been up to in the last week. We always love getting to share the games we’ve been playing and other hobbies we’ve been dabbling in between each episode, so make sure you tune in.You can check out the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast on a whole bunch of podcast platforms:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsStitcherCastboxAmazon MusiciHeartRadioPodcast AddictAnd more!If you prefer some faces to go with your voices, you can also check out the podcast over on YouTube:Don’t forget to check us out over on thePC Gamer forums, too!
