Highguard is finally here, and Wildlight Studio's game has the internet divided. While it came out of the gate hot, the story has changed, but with support from the developers and the potential community, Highguard has a fighting chance.

Also, The Game Bakers' Cairn is finally here after a delay. The survival climbing game offers a lot to those who dare to climb Mount Kami and rewards patience for those who outsmart thirst, hunger, and pain.

Steve and Bobby are back on Creature Cast, where they are joined by Hayes Madsen, the writer of the An Evening at the Inn Newsletter. This week, Ubisoft cancelled six games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, as it works to restructure, lay off employees, and demand a return to the office. Plus, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is finally on Xbox Series and Switch 2, and it's an incredible port that's nearly on par with the PlayStation 5 version.

Prime Video's Fallout series is heading to the finish line with a ton of questions that need answers. So far, the main cast has been separated throughout the season, and things are just about to unfold. Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Kyle MacLachlan continue to deliver some incredible performances. And newcomer Justin Theroux, as Robert House, delivers a satisfying performance as the man behind RobCo, who seems one step ahead of everyone.

Plus, some excellent cameos have been seen in the second season, but one stands above the rest in episode 6!

We’re winding down another big year for video games, and our lists feature the top games and the games we enjoyed the most, so you can read them at your leisure.

Our previous Game of the Year winners were God of War Ragnarök, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 deserves every single accolade it’s sure to win this year, and then some. It’s a generational RPG that captures everything special about the genre and then pushes even harder. The combat is tight and electric, with so much depth and customization potential that building craft is its own time sink. The story and characters are some of the best in video games, with moments that will truly stay with you.
