After a 6-week hiatus thanks to the planning and execution of a wedding and honeymoon followed by a COVID lockdown Matt & Lucas are finally back with another episode of the DBG podcast!! On this show the guys catch up on some of the biggest news and discuss whether or not brick and mortar gaming events are still worth doing. Matt also reviews Starbase Startopia and the joyfully excellent new co-op game from Hazelight & EA: It Takes Two. We are glad to be back and we hope you enjoy the show!

An absolute rollercoaster of a game. Every level is unique in theme and gameplay mechanics while still maintaining a coherent game which doesn't feel overwhelming or too busy. The story is compelling while offering great fun for the co-op partners who play. A must play for anyone looking for great a co-op game. Hazelight have nailed it.
We've come to expect great games from Kalypso Media but unfortunately this one is only a middling sim/strategy game. Startopia is competent in the necessary areas but it's nothing special and it's lacking in the overall depth required from the genre. Disappointing.
