Welcome, my friends, to our last show of 2025, and what a year it’s been for gaming! For example, my curator page’s best of list for this year is longer than any other year since I began keeping lists!
On the topic of games of 2024, this week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, and I look back at this amazing year of gaming and pick our best and worst games of the year. There were a few surprises among our choices, but honestly, if you know us at all, these choices shouldn’t be that surprising. What, to me, was the biggest surprise was the three-way tie for space game of the year between Spaz, Thorsten, and me! Check out the list below!
