- 293 - Side Quest: Games of the Year, Part 2
It's time to conclude the annual LGR "best games we played this year that might have come out this year but not necessarily because we have jobs and lives and kids and can't keep up with all the newest games extravaganza 2025". In this episode the boys run down their honourable and dishonourable mentions, before revealing their top two games of the year.
