As bury 2025 in the dust, we dig into one of our very favorite episodes to do: Best Games of 2025 (or GOTY, as some of us fondly call it). Matt and Colette have never been able to narrow their lists down to fewer than 5, PLUS honorable mentions, so this episode digs into the latter as well as our #5 and #4 picks. However, we had so much to say that this is a two-parter, so please tune in again next week to hear our top 3 picks for GOTY.

Drop by and let us know what games made your list in our Discord, a cozy lil' community where everyone is actually super nice. For real.
