GODT NYTT SPILLÅR, VENNER!
Het is niet ondenkbaar dat 2025 de geschiedenisboeken in gaat. Qua games waren er veel hoogtepunten, zoals Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hollow Knight Silksong en Hades II. Er waren echter […]
Gegen Ende eines jeden Jahres ist es Zeit, innezuhalten – und genau das tun Ari und Michi in der neuen Episode des DailyGame Podcasts. Das Finale des Videospieljahres 2025 steht vor der Tür, und die beiden blicken gemeinsam auf ein außergewöhnlich dichtes und überraschendes Gaming-Jahr zurück. Im Mittelpunkt der Episode steht keine nüchterne Jahresstatistik, sondern eine ganz persönliche Revue. Ari und Michi sprechen über jene Spiele, die sie begeistert, überrascht oder auch enttäuscht haben – und darüber, wie sehr sich das eigene Spielerlebnis manchmal von Reviews, Hypes und Metascores unterscheiden kann. Überraschungshits wie Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 trafen mitten ins Herz, während lang erwartete Releases wie Hollow Knight: Silksong und dessen Schwierigkeitsgrad für Diskussionen sorgten. Der Launch der Nintendo Switch 2 war für Nintendo-Fans wohl bereits das Highlight des Jahres. Und Mario Kart World bewies, dass selbst altbekannte Serien noch frischen Wind vertragen können. Doch nicht alles glänzte: 2025 hatte auch seine Tiefen, überambitionierte Projekte und Spiele, die hinter den Erwartungen zurückblieben.Viel Spass bei der finalen Dailygame Podcast Folge für das Jahr 2025. Wir freuen uns auf ein aufregendes und spannendes neues Jahr mit euch und wünschen einen guten Rutsch nach 2026.
Wir ballern nochmal einen raus: Marisa, Marco und Ronny blicken auf die zweite Jahreshälfte der Games zurück und erzählen von ihren High- und Lowlights im Jahre 2025. Wie fanden wir große Titel wie Borderlands 4 oder Hollow Knight Silksong? Was waren unsere Indiegeheimtipps? Und was ist eigentlich dieses Wuthering Waves, das den Players Choice Award bei den Game Awards gewonnen hat?

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Bryan, Josh, and Clint finally arrive in Pharloom and dive deep into Hollow Knight: Silksong. We all fell in love with Hollow Knight when it launched in 2017 and even covered it on the show back in 2019, making Silksong a long-anticipated return. Team Cherry—Ari Gibson, William Pellen, and Jack Vine—have come a long way since the original Kickstarter, and Silksong's journey from planned DLC to full sequel reflects a uniquely protracted and unconventional development cycle. Just as notable is the team's decision to remain intentionally small, preserving creative control, efficiency, and passion while collaborating with key contributors like composer Christopher Larkin to elevate the experience.Silksong represents a major shift from its predecessor, most notably through Hornet, a fully voiced and evolving protagonist whose presence reshapes both narrative and gameplay. The game emphasizes speed, verticality, and tool-driven combat, with Pharloom's design flipping Hollow Knight's downward descent into a constant upward climb. We dig into the game's layered storytelling—Hornet's personal arc, the history of Pharloom and its people, and the larger cosmic forces at play—alongside its thematic focus on song, memory, and organized religion. Along the way, we debate difficulty, movement quirks, crest builds, boss design, and the shard system for tools. We also discuss Silksong's ambitious three-act structure, multiple endings, and whether it not only lives up to the original Hollow Knight. So join us as we close out the year exploring Team Cherry's world of bugs, beasts, beauty, and bosses.Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Smooth as SilkJosh - Flight in FightClint - Solid Send Off

What makes a great boss fight? Is it brutal difficulty, unforgettable music, smart mechanics, emotional story stakes, or all of the above? In this episode, we dive headfirst into our favorite boss fights of all time and break down why they stick with us. From multi-phase nightmares and clever multi-target designs to cinematic showpieces and secret "god mode" finales, we cover it all. We talk legendary encounters from games like Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Dragoon, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Sekiro, Final Fantasy, Hollow Knight Silksong, Katana Zero, Stellar Blade, and more. Plus how music, atmosphere, and narrative twists can elevate a boss fight from "hard" to iconic. Expect passionate debates, deep dives into boss design, surprise K-pop battle themes, emotional gut-punches, secret bosses you probably missed, and a whole lot of love for games that dare to challenge the player. #gamingpodcast #videogamepodcast #gamingsofficialpodcast Youtube Instagram

This week on The Gaming Duo, we dive into one of the most heated debates in gaming right now: generative AI. Following the Expedition 33 awards controversy, we break down why its Indie Game Awards wins were rescinded, how AI was used during development, and what this means for the future of awards and transparency in the industry. We also discuss Larian Studios' response after CEO Swen Vincke addressed backlash over AI use for early ideation — and where the line should be drawn between innovation and creative integrity.Plus, the gaming news you need to know, including Bungie's Marathon losing its senior art director and Hollow Knight: Silksong receiving a major free DLC expansion.If you're enjoying the show, leave a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and join our Discord community, where friendships are built through gaming.Join The Gaming Duo Discord Server:https://discord.gg/B7YYMvZtZ2
Let's be honest: This whole Light of Motiram thing was shady from the get-go. A game that blatantly rips off Guerrilla's Horizon franchise, created by the publisher-and-developer combo that was later revealed to have unsuccessfully pitched Sony a Horizon spin-off beforehand? They call that 'dead to rights.' And now it's official, because Sony's lawsuit against Tencent over this facsimile has been dropped with prejudice, and the game has been delisted from Steam. That's a win for PlayStation, and an even bigger win for creativity in the AAA space. We discuss. Plus: Sucker Punch co-founder, long-time producer, and studio lead Brian Fleming is officially retiring from the team after 28 years, Bungie's Marathon is slated to come to PS5 in March, Hollow Knight: Silksong is getting a free nautical expansion in '26, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Should we expect devs to lean more deeply into attractive characters? Do we think "made using AI" warnings will appear on games at some point in the near future? Who's to blame for Highguard's tepid response at The Game Awards? Is it strange if a wheelchair-bound listener wants to proudly wear a Stand Down shirt?

We serveren je een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen uit de wereld die videogames heet. Altijd vergezeld van een fijne mening. We blijven immers Gamekings. Jasper zit vandaag vanuit zijn AirBnB 'naast' JJ om een aantal onderwerpen te bespreken. Bijvoorbeeld de rel die is ontstaan na een mededeling van een medewerker van Larian Studios dat ze generative AI gebruiken bij het maken van hun games. Social media stroomde zoals altijd direct vol met pittige meningen. En die hebben wij ook. Want was dit inderdaad een kwalijke zaak die de makers van Baldur's Gate 3 bezigden of een storm in het spreekwoordelijke glas water? Dit onderwerp en meer krijg je te zien en te horen in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 17 november 2025.Studio Baldur's Gate 3 even in zwaar weer door gebruik AIEen ander onderwerp betreft Marathon. De GaaS van Bungie heeft na een eerder uitstel, een nieuwe releasedatum gekregen. Blijkbaar hebben de ontwikkelaar en PlayStation er beiden het volste vertrouwen in dat het nu allemaal goed gaat komen. Wat denken Jasper en JJ ervan? Is deze game de prijs van aanschaf straks waard? Zien de twee heren nog ijsberen op de weg? Het antwoord krijg je in deze video.Hollow Knight: Silksong krijgt gratis DLC in 2026De twee hebben het ook over een aantal kerstcadeaus die eraan zitten te komen. Bijvoorbeeld de gratis DLC die de makers van Hollow Knight: Silksong hebben aangekondigd voor 2026. Of de extra verhalende content die er voor S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Hearts of Chornobyl aan zit te komen. En wat dacht je van het tweede seizoen van Fallout dat vannacht op HBO Max begon. Dat is toch ideaal kijkvoer voor bij de boom of open haard?

Our yearly show with Engaged Family Gaming, where we talk about what video games might be on your kids’ wishlists. 00:00 Fact for 412 412 is the area code for Pittsburgh (and they seem really proud of it). The most people washing dishes simultaneously is 412 and was achieved by Henkel (Algeria) and Pril-Isis, in Algiers, Algeria, on 16 June 2017. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/112306-most-people-washing-dishes-simultaneously Sponsor Message If you want some help finding solid footing underneath you, or help finding the right step to leap to the next level, head to firstmovefinancial.com/familygamers to schedule a quick phone call and see how First Move can help. 0:04:30 What We’ve Been Playing – with November Monthly Report! Anitra: 54 plays of 28 unique games. H-index: 4 (Chit Chat, Trio, INK, Leaders, Odin) – and Andrew is the most played-with person by a huge margin! Andrew: 40 plays of 18 unique games. H-index 4 (Chit Chat, Leaders, Odin, Trio). 35 games together with Anitra! Pretty much everything was 2 players or 5 players. Check out our recent reviews for INK and Odin.LeadersJungo (check out our review!)Logic & LoreS’mores Galore Roast & WriteFor Sale 0:10:40 The Family Gamers Community Welcome to our newest community members on Facebook! In these darkest days of the year, let’s share some light with each other. Stop in and say hello. #Backtalk We asked what you like to do with your family that ISN’T boardgames. A few of you answered on the #backtalk channel on the Discord and in our Facebook community. 0:19:00 Video Games with Engaged Family Gaming Stephen Duetzmann helps us with the best video games to give this year, via the Engaged Family Gaming holiday list. But first we talk about videogames we’ve been playing: Dogpile (on Steam)Metroid Prime 4Dredge (more info)Hollow Knight: Silksong (which Andrew just finished – more info) 0:36:00 Consoles PS5 or Xbox Series X – They are very expensive and not focused on family-friendly titles. Not recommended unless you really want it for games you can’t get elsewhere. 0:37:15 Multi-platform Games Civilization VII – the rough edges have been sanded off. Pick a leader, but jump to different civilizations in each age. Plays pretty well on any console and on PC, but if you have a Switch 2, buy it for that system, so you can use the mouse controller. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown – turn based tactical game that still forces you to move forward like a typical side-scrolling brawler. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar – cozy “farm and town” game with engine-building. Has a week cycle as well as a day cycle. Sonic Racing: Crossworlds – good if you don’t have Mario Kart. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted 0:45:00 Playstation Exclusives “Playstation didn’t put out anything that didn’t involve mass-murder.” Ghost of Yotei – only for grownups, but gorgeous. nothing else really new, but Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII, and Spider-man 2 are still great choices. 0:46:50 Xbox Exclusives Also not much new that isn’t “headshot-central”. But Star Wars Outlaws is updated and even better than it was last year. 0:47:45 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 Both consoles are good choices: Switch 2 is very cool. Original Switch is the value choice, and those games will still work if you decide to upgrade later to the Switch 2. Mario Kart World Donkey Kong Bananza Also recommended: Metroid Prime 4 – if you liked Metroid Primeand Kirby Air Riders “If you get a Switch 2, don’t limit yourself to just Switch 2 games” – get older original Switch games, too. A lot of them have been updated for the better graphics of the Switch 2, and they’ll be great! 0:53:00 Online Play and Online Sales You need to do the math and decide if these are worth it for your family. Good alternative to buying a single game if you don’t know what game your recipient would want. Nintendo Switch Online – $80 for up to 8 users (don’t all have to be in the same location), even cheaper if you only need one user. This is absolutely necessary to play online AND gives you access to a bunch of older games. XBox Game Pass – probably not worth it JUST for kids. Worth it for Andrew & Anitra, where we have many people all taking advantage. PS Plus – again, needed for online play. Minimum $80/year for the Essentials plan. As always: If you're buying a console for a holiday present, do NOT leave it in the box! Don't forget to set it up before Christmas! (Plug in, connect to the internet, download updates, install a game or two. You might need to update the firmware on the controller.) It's a much more effective surprise if it's ready to play on Christmas morning. And don’t forget about free to play games like Fortnite or Disney Speed Storm! Those are good to add ahead of time so they can play right away. And don't forget about The Family Gamers holiday gift guide, too!

Do you like multiplayer games because you’re a board gamer, and so you want to play with other people (locally or online)? Or do you have video games as your solo play and board games as your social play? Do you prefer puzzles, or action? If you want to name a particular game that is your favorite, feel free!

We break down PlayStation's massive Black Friday 2025 deals, including $100 off PS5 consoles (Standard, Digital, and Pro), major discounts on PSVR2, PlayStation Portal, DualSense controllers, Pulse headsets, and more.
