State of the Save

Author: Eric Suggs/Michael Cutts

State of the Save is a video game podcast where hosts Eric and Michael challenge each other to play games outside their usual playlists. Each episode, they swap titles: sometimes hidden gems they think the other will love, other times bold picks meant to push them out of their comfort zones. Expect passionate debates, surprising discoveries, and the occasional friendly frustration as they explore everything from beloved classics to indie darlings to cult favorites. State of the Save is perfect for gamers who love fresh perspectives, deep dives, and discovering their next favorite game.
