Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are back in full force and continuing our adventure through the second part of the Games of the Year 2025 podcast.  We cut the list in half, giving us fifteen games that we were talking about in each episode.  This is not necessarily a numerical list, but the titles that appear later in the shows did get more votes. It was a great year for gaming, but also a year where we were constantly getting distracted by the next big thing coming down the pipe.  While we played a lot of games… we did not necessarily FINISH a lot of games.   Topics Discussed: Fantasy Life - The Girl Who Steals Time Chess.Com Guild Wars Reforged Cauldron Ghost of Yotei Dune Awakening Atelier Resleriana The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian Deltarune Chapters 3-4 Wanderstop Where Winds Meet Path of Exile Legacy of Phrecia Split Fiction Hades II Blue Prince Silksong

It's our yearly tradition now: We invite a new content creator on our show, and we discuss the best games of the year in several weight categories. Joining us for our 2025 edition is Candice Harris, formerly of BoardGameGeek and now doing her own thing with Kickin' It Creative. She's just as board game crazy as we are, so check out what we thought were the best of the year. Timeline: The 2025 Games of the Year (hit up our website for the full list of winners and runners-up): 7:06 - 2025 Party Games of the Year. 18:10 - 2025 Light Games of the Year. 33:38 - 2025 Medium Games of the Year. 50:55 - 2025 Heavy Games of the Year.

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! It is that time again, time to roll over into a new season, and time to record our massive two-part games of the year show.  As we roll into Season 13, we have a minor revision to our lineup and two shows stacked with fifteen games each.  As is our tradition, the list was divided into two parts, and the more votes a title got, the later in the show it appeared. It was a great year for gaming, but also a year where we were constantly getting distracted by the next big thing coming down the pipe.  While we played a lot of games… we did not necessarily FINISH a lot of games.   Topics Discussed: Slormancer Sunderfolk Monster Hunter Wilds Hell Clock Grimshire Mercenaries of Trarthus Final Fantasy Tactics Digimon Story: Time Stranger Soulstone Survivors Ball x Pit Guild Wars 2 Fractal Incursion Xenoblade Chronicles X Def. Edition Dispatch Destiny Rising Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Press XJoin the Press X Discord: https://discord.gg/MAXtvmv2rwTopics:Making Metroid Prime 4 was originally a request from Nintendo of America; when Retro Studios took over its development, they no longer had the structure to make a MP game and had to rebuild https://nintendoeverything.com/metroid-prime-4-developer-interview-origins-challenges/Its open-world hub was a concession to old pleas from fans for an open-world Metroid that it became too late to change course on later as people's attitudes towards open-world games changed https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-discusses-its-approach-to-metroid-prime-4-and-why-it-isnt-open-world/Pikmin 3 Deluxe rated for Switch 2 in Europe https://www.gematsu.com/2025/12/pikmin-3-deluxe-rated-for-switch-2-in-europeJez Corden: First Call of Duty Switch version "is nearly done and launching in a few months" https://x.com/JezCorden/status/2003171421879460027NateTheHate: The Switch 2 “devkit delivery situation has largely been resolved” (in other words, it looks like devs getting a Switch 2 devkit isn't a problem anymore) https://mynintendonews.com/2025/12/29/natethehate-nintendo-switch-2-dev-kit-availability-has-largely-been-resolved/ Questions from Discord: Joe: What are your biggest disappointments of the year? For me it honestly might be the Switch 2. I just think outside of Donkey Kong the first-party titles aren't the best so far. Plus, the high price of the system, charging $80 for a Mario Kart with less content than the previous title, key cards, etc. Also, Microsoft, fuck ‘em.Campfire_knight: Here's a fun question: What is your annual game(s) that you replay? For me, I probably replay Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Dark Souls 3 the most of any of the games I own. They are just so near and dear to my heart.

In this episode of the Game Deflators podcast, hosts Jon and Ryan dive into their latest game pickups, including the cult favorite Sky Gunner and a stack of retro gaming books. They also share fresh updates from their Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, highlighting new character arcs, unexpected encounters, and the chaos their parties have stirred up. From there, the conversation shifts to their favorite games of the year—what stood out, what fell short, and which titles earned a spot on their personal lists. To wrap things up, they take on another round of the inflation‑deflation challenge, this time putting the holiday oddity Daze Before Christmas under scrutiny to see whether its current market price is naughty or nice. 00:00 Introduction to the Game Inflators Podcast 02:17 Game Pickups and Recent Acquisitions 06:21 Dungeons & Dragons Updates and Campaign Recaps 12:18 Homebrewing D&D Campaigns and Storytelling Techniques 18:14 The Role of AI in Game Mastering 26:06 Game Reviews and Recommendations 28:40 The Plucky Squire: A Charming Adventure 30:59 Games of the Year: A Reflection on Favorites 40:39 Looking Ahead: New Games Resolutions 47:29 Elder Gamers: A 92-Year-Old Champion 51:59 Magic: The Gathering's New Casual Format 56:42 Exploring Days Before Christmas Game 01:03:21 The Lack of Christmas Games 01:10:05 Looking Ahead to New Year's Games   Want more Game Deflators content?
