The boys are back in town. This week EJ, Sun, Jamie, and Hunter plop right down to decide what exactly was the best game released in 2025. If you were mad about our 1995 coverage this is guaranteed to continue the madness! Feel free to comment everywhere about all the problems you have with all of this.

Born of God and Void."We're finally doing it: might be pretty late to the party, but today we're talking all about Hollow Knight, the metroidvania that had — and arguably still has — the gaming world rapt since 2017. Co-host Doug (Nostalgium Arcanum, Playing by Ear) joins the show to look into just what makes this game work...and what makes it work so impeccably well. Hollow Knight is rich with thematic strands, lurid visuals, affecting music, and enough lore to make even the most dedicated Wiki editor blush. Hope you love the show today.

Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan and Ace are rolling back the clock from 2008 to today looking at the Indie Game of the Year—and to ask a bigger question: at what point did indie games stop being “impressive for indies” and just become impressive, period? From early breakout hits to modern GOTY contenders, we trace the moments that reshaped expectations, budgets, and creative freedom, while digging into the video games history that forced the mainstream to pay attention. Along the way, we debate which releases truly changed the conversation, how scope and polish evolved, and whether the indie label even means the same thing anymore. This is a thoughtful, opinionated deep dive packed with context, hot takes, and a few friendly arguments. If you love gaming conversations that challenge old assumptions and celebrate great video games no matter where they come from, this episode is for you—and a must-listen for anyone who cares about how gaming has changed forever.

La semanas siguien moviéndose estrepitozamente en la industria de los videojuegos. Durante el fin de semana pasada, durante la Genkidamatsuri, el evento más importante del universo de Dragon Ball, tuvimos el anuncio de varias novedades de Goku y compañía.

We discuss the new trailer, gameplay direction, pricing, Standard and Deluxe Editions, and Marathon's stacked voice cast, plus whether extraction shooters like Marathon, Arc Raiders, and Tarkov could challenge Call of Duty's dominance. We also cover Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 becoming the most awarded Game of the Year winner of all time, surpassing Elden Ring, and what that means for future GOTY races. On the industry side, Ubisoft confirms a major company reset, cancelling six games including the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, delaying seven projects, and closing two studios. Additional news includes Christopher Judge reacting to Ryan Hurst's casting as Kratos in Amazon's God of War series, Square Enix announcing Life is Strange: Reunion, and fans reviving Anthem shortly after its shutdown. We wrap up with community questions, underrated games, and what we've been playing.

This week we are talking about Absolum, a roguelike beat 'em up from Streets of Rage 4 developers Guard Crush Games and publisher Dotemu. This was one of those games that would probably have been near the top of our 2025 GOTY list if we'd managed to all play and discuss it before the end of the year. It combines the incredible beat 'em up mechanics from Streets of Rage 4 with Hades-style progression mechanics. It really kicks ass. There's also one of our classic slightly too long digressions about the Steam Deck and Linux about 33 minutes in. Sorry, and you're welcome.(00:00) - Absolum (26:21) - Digression about Steam Deck and Linux (33:24) - Back to Absolum (52:42) - Wrap up

We've already recorded our GOTY 2025 pod, but it'd be remiss of us to deny you this forgotten (by Alex, the dozy twat) episode from last November. To celebrate what was the PS2's 25th anniversary in 2025, we both created our own Top 10 lists of games on the platform. It's wall-to-wall bangers and the lists are pretty different! Come say hi on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyou and we'll see you for GOTY.

Aquellos que escuchen el podcast serán testigos de la ingente cantidad de juegos que soltamos para estos próximos 12 meses.

We're winding down another big year for video games, and our lists feature the top games and the games we enjoyed the most, so you can read them at your leisure.Our previous Game of the Year winners were God of War Ragnarök, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 deserves every single accolade it's sure to win this year, and then some. It's a generational RPG that captures everything special about the genre and then pushes even harder. The combat is tight and electric, with so much depth and customization potential that building craft is its own time sink. The story and characters are some of the best in video games, with moments that will truly stay with you.
