Episode 237

2025 is coming to a close, and it's time to take stock of the games we played this year. Today, we discuss every single game we played this year and form a list of the top 16 games, which we will pit against each other at the end of the year in a tournament bracket to determine Game of the Year! As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Hitman VR, League of Legends, Until Dawn, I Expect You To Die 3: Cog in the Machine). This episode was recorded in December 2025. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.
