Craig and Dave are back with The Bit Effect — a monthly gaming podcast where we take on newer releases with plenty of banter and a good dose of pub-style chat. We dive into mechanics, share our thoughts, and keep things mostly spoiler-free (and always flagged if not). Think of it as catching up with your pals about what’s worth playing right now.Any game suggestions or feedback? Email us at hello@thebiteffect.com and we will glady play what you tell us, unless it's Stellaris.

This month we hacked, slashed, and danced our way through Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, a game that feels like someone threw a tower defence, an action brawler, and a fever dream of Japanese folklore into a blender

Our next listener suggestion is up and we are playing Thank Goodness You’re Here, and… well… how do you even describe it? You don’t. You just play it. Honestly, it’s one of the funniest, weirdest things we’ve touched in
This month we crept our way through Darkwood , well, Dave did. Craig noped out as fast as possible and ran the whole game screaming and killing anything that moved. Luckily, Dave picked up the slack and actually braved t
For this special listener request we dove headfirst into Persona 3 Reload and let’s be honest, few games swing from “high school hijinks” to “the weight of mortality” quite like this one. One minute you’re feeding your s
