Welcome to episode 22 of the Guinness World Records Gamer's Podcast. We're rapidly approaching the half-way point of 2019, so what better time to take stock of the games that have made the biggest splash so far this year? Not only are there some entries high up the list that arrived with perhaps less fanfare than others – Sunless Skies and DiRT Rally 2.0 among them. There are also some notable absences – including Anthem, Crackdown 3 and Days Gone.

 

Elsewhere, we find time to chat about the games we've been playing, including the ultra-violent Mortal Kombat 11, card-based RPG SteamWorld Quest and fiendish shmup Hell is Other Demons.
