For Grown-ups who Still Love Games.
Thoughtful, honest, and occasionally chaotic conversations about the games worth talking about. No hype. No gatekeeping. Two brothers, a shared backlog, and strong opinions loosely held.

AND EVERYWHERE YOU LISTEN
It started as a little brother hovering over a shoulder.
Flight sims. RTS marathons. Years of gaming rivalries neither of us will ever fully admit to losing. Today, Alex and Luke sit down monthly for an honest, unhurried conversation about video games — the way they've always talked about them.
Low Five Gaming is a podcast for adults who grew up with a controller in their hands and never really put it down. We cover new releases when they earn it, dig deep into indie games that flew under the radar, and cross classics off the backlog that have been waiting long enough. We talk about what makes a game work, why some of them stick with you for decades, and occasionally what the hell a developer was thinking.
Every episode comes with a score — not because we think games reduce to numbers, but because taking a position is more interesting than hedging. The conversation is always the point. The score is just where we landed.
No agenda. No hype cycle obligations. Just two brothers, a shared love for this medium, and a standing invitation to join the conversation.

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.
