About Skill Issue

Skill Issue is a bold, snarky, and highly opinionated video game podcast and content platform that critiques the gaming industry—from corporate greed to developer blunders and overhyped flops. This is not a feel-good fan club—it’s a soapbox for calling out nonsense, exposing shady practices, and delivering sharp commentary on all things gaming. Our brand needs to reflect that edge.

   #28 - Is Starfield really snoozefield?

   Is Starfield actually better than everyone says?In Episode 28 of the Skill Issue Podcast, we're diving into Bethesda's controversial space RPG, Starfield. After finally putting serious time into the game, we break down what Bethesda got right, what went wrong, and whether Starfield deserves another chance in 2026.From the frustrating exploration and endless loading screens to the surprisingly compelling story, ship customization, and worldbuilding, we compare Starfield to Skyrim, Fallout 4, The Outer Worlds, No Man's Sky, and more. And despite all the criticism, our final rating might surprise you.But this is Skill Issue, so naturally we get sidetracked.We also talk about Fortnite's returning weapons and Reload, Overwatch, Destiny, and revisit some controversial opinions about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Throw in some Marvel tangents, questionable jokes, and arguments about what actually makes a game great, and you've got another episode of Skill Issue.What do you think? Was Starfield unfairly criticized, or did Bethesda miss the mark?

   #27 - Seoul Searching | 2 Korean Games that Will Keep you Single

   This week on Skill Issue, we share our Aion 2 first impressions and review Five Hearts Under One Roof—a Korean MMORPG and a live-action dating simulator that gave us very different reasons to keep playing.Around the campfire, we talk Aion 2’s combat, character customization, graphics, voice acting, and whether its story can keep us interested until endgame. That turns into a discussion about what makes an MMO worth sticking with, progression systems, and Fortnite’s changing identity.Then we get into Five Hearts Under One Roof: the ridiculous dialogue choices, branching romance routes, and why playing a dating sim with friends ended up being so much fun. We rank all five romance options, discuss the endings, and explain why this Korean romantic comedy surprised us—despite some frustrating translations and progression quirks.Two Korean games. One very Korean episode.Includes story and ending spoilers for Five Hearts Under One Roof.CHAPTERS00:00 Campfire intro03:00 Aion 2 first impressions22:03 What makes an MMO successful?30:29 Fortnite, progression, and battle passes37:55 Five Hearts Under One Roof review51:13 Ranking the five romance routes1:12:56 Who should play Five Hearts?1:19:28 Final verdict and frustrations1:22:00 Wrap-up
