The Overdue Review

The review's overdue as part of the process. Let's play the whole thing first, commenting along the way & then come to the conclusion at the end. We love games. We play games.

Why "Overdue"

We play it first. Then we review it.

We don't hand out a verdict on day one rushing to hit all the beats. We play the game first, whether new release or ten years overdue, & review it once we're finished with it.

How We Rate

Every game gets a verdict once it's cleared, scored like story points on a sprint board: the higher it goes, the bigger the jump.

  • 1, Skip It

    Oof forever backlogged..

  • 2, Rough

    A few good ideas buried under real problems.

  • 3, Mixed

    Worth it for the right fan. Utilize a gift card

  • 5, Solid

    A good game that does what it sets out to do.

  • 8, Great

    A standout. Clear a weekend for it.

  • 13, Must Play

    Use PTO for the release date. GOTY Contender

New Series

Weekly Scrum & MVP

Two lower-lift formats alongside the main show. Together that's a presence every day of the week without a feature-length upload every day.

Danny's Backlog

Weekly Scrum

3 one-hour videos / week

The looser companion series: older games that have been sitting in the pile for years, played and reviewed the same honest way, just with less polish and more “why did we wait this long.” Old backlog tickets, worked sprint by sprint.

Sprint retros →
MVP

MVP

Every Saturday

Most Valuable Points, not Minimum Viable Product. Quick-take reviews for games that don't get the full overdue treatment. In and out, verdict only.

Latest MVP Shorts →

Every episode lands in the Archive as soon as it drops

You Decide

Backlog Refinement

Vote a shelved game to the top of the sprint. Voting closes Friday, and whichever's in the lead gets refined over the weekend, then picked up for Scrum. One pick per person, per day: vote for a game or suggest a new one.
