Hej alla härliga lyssnare!Inför de två Game of the Year-avsnitten som följer - där vi ska kora 2025 års bästa spel tänkte vi att det kan vara bra att berätta vilka spel som faktiskt är nominerade.Därför slänger Fredrik och Poki in detta "lilla" inför-avsnitt där vi kort berättar om varje respektive spel som blivit nominerat - och varför. Givetvis kommer ni höra både det ena och andra i GOTY del 1 & 2 - men tanken är att hjälpa på traven lite mer. Vi vet alla att energin i GOTY kommer fokusera på spelen vi vill ska gå vidare.Medan vi här sakta men säkert kan berätta kort om varje spel. I år är det f.ö 48 spel som är nominerade, så håll till godo!----------------------------DE NOMINERADE SPELEN:AvowedKingdom Come: Deliverance IISplit FictionCitizen Sleeper 2: Starward VectorAssassin's Creed ShadowsSouth of Midnight FoundationRosewaterOld SkiesThe First Berserker KhazanClair Obscur: Expedition 33Bionic BayThe Midnight Walk Doom: The Dark AgesKathy Rain 2: SoothsayerTainted Grail: The Fall of AvalonRune Factory: Guardians of AzumaMonster Train 2Blue PrinceCast n ChillDeath Stranding 2: On the BeachKARMA: The Dark WorldDonkey Kong BananzaWUCHANG: Fallen FeathersThe King is WatchingThe DrifterMonster Hunter WildsSHINOBI: Art of VengeanceSword of the SeaHollow Knight: SilksongGhost of Yōtei Hell is UsHades 2Trails in the Sky the 1st Chapter BALL x PITThe Lonesome GuildArc RaidersCloverPitAnno 117: Pax RomanaThe Outer Worlds 2Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch TreeAge of Darkness: Final StandNecesseTempest RisingSilent Hill fOctopath Traveler 0DispatchSektori----------------------------Hörs i GOTY!

I'm hosting at Awesome Games Done Quick 2026 the first week of January - tune in! I'm also hosting the English Restream of RTA In Japan Winter 2025 THIS WEEK! Reviews are out for the Commodore 64 Ultimate, and I wish I had bought one earlier so I would have it now. The Video Game History Foundation has released a bunch of ROMs of the 90's era Sega Channel, so you can relive the 90's goodness on your own emulator. Some of Arcade1up's assets have been sold to competitor Basic Fun! who entered the home arcade business earlier this year. The Indie Game Awards have revoked Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's awards due to the use of generative AI in development. Then we take a call about generative AI usage in the world.

As 2025 comes to a close, Eammonn Dignam reflects on a year that changed the industry. We analyze the record-breaking launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 , which brought us Mario Kart World and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, all while celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Mushroom Kingdom's hero. We discuss the shifting of the guard as Doug Bowser retires as President of Nintendo of America, succeeded by Devon Pritchard. The show also dives into the "AA" miracle: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 winning Game of the Year on a budget under $10 million. Finally, we break down the end-of-year controversy surrounding Arc Raiders , its shift to a premium $40 model, and Tim Sweeney's defense of its AI-voiced characters. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ring out those solstice bells, the longest night of the year is now behind us! But we've still got weeks and weeks of winter left to go, so if you're looking for some indie games to help pass those cold and dark nights, you're in the right place: it's the third (or maybe fourth, depending on how you count) annual Indieventure GOTY episode! This is our smallest GOTY cohort ever, with just 12 games – not because this wasn't a great year for indies, but because your trio of hosts are in greater agreement than ever before as we slowly but surely merge into a single terrifying gestalt consciousness. As a fun challenge, why not pick one game from this list to play every day during the 12 days of Christmas? Sure, that'd be prohibitively expensive and impossibly time-consuming, but if you already have some to hand, consider this the sign you were waiting for to tackle some of that backlog – truly a festive tradition for many of us gamers at this point. As ever we won't spoil our Christmas selection box here in the show notes, but you can always check the Indiventure website for a full list of games mentioned in the episode. Furthermore, maybe keep an eye on that blog over the festive period if you're interested in some additional stocking stuffers in written form from your Indieventure hosts and some friends of the podcast… Our final round of hyperfixations for 2025 progresses at lightning speed because we're all very tired and want to start our Christmas break, please. Stranger Things 5 has Rebecca's seal of approval, while Super Mario Galaxy on Switch 2 is similarly acclaimed by Liam, and Rachel recommends The Chair Company season finale. Thank you all and good night: merry Christmas, happy holidays, a peaceful midwinter to you all, and we'll see you in 2026! Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury! Find him on Instagram at @newbsmusic. Meanwhile, you can find us at indieventurepodcast.co.uk or wherever you listen to podcasts. Don't forget that you can now join our dedicated Discord too, and be sure to check out our new Steam Curator page if you simply still can't get enough of us!
