  • Episode 2: Our Favorite Games of 2023

    We're baaaack with episode 2 of Turn-Based Besties, and today we are diving right into our top three games of 2023. Note, these will be our personal favorite games we played in 2023, not necessarily games that were released in 2023 (because we know DJ likes his retro and indie games).

    We will also be trying out a new segment called "Medical Moment" with Sam, as he discusses video games and certain illness or conditions that occur with a character. Disclaimer: we do not provide medical diagnoses, recommendations, treatment, etc.

    Here's a brief reference list for you nerds out there ;)
