In this episode we ask, has 2022 been a bad year in gaming? Let's recap the year and refresh ourselves in the lead up to Game of the Year discussions, which will be right around the corner.

We discuss the latest news out of Brazil last week. Are Sony playing dirty by paying to keep games from Game Pass? Plus we've played both Cult of the Lamb and Two Point Campus. Our feature discusses what we would ask if we had 5 minutes with Obsidian.

A new JRPG anyone? Don't worry, let's talk about Xenoblade. There's also a couple of interesting Game Pass releases, old and new. Pete's played nothing... nothing new there. And we recap the Pokémon event and ask does the new game seem like a big enough 'evolution' for the series?

The news is pretty stacked this week, game news, financials and price increases everywhere! New releases yet again stack up, and Ben has played a new game which has flown surprisingly under the radar. Our feature focuses on the element of a game we most value.
