Games of 2023 have started coming out! We’ll go through what we’re looking forward to this year. Dennis is hip to the new hotness and starts playing Elden Ring. Bethesda/Tango Gameworks shadow drops Hi-Fi Rush and Kyle gets a couple hours in before the recording. Kyle goes back for another shot of Disco Elysium: The Final Cut – now with voice acting. Dennis goes though his recent round of swarm survivor games. Kyle skips every cut scene in Strangers of Paradise Final Fantasy Origins. Dennis makes matches in Devolver’s Tumble Time mobile game.

Another good year of gaming! We have our top 5s for 2022 but, we also played other games this month. Kyle takes orders from his weapons in High on Life. Soccer Story kicks sand in Dennis’s face. Michael protects mages to save the world in The Last Spell. Kyle gives his “put them on the box” reviews of Callisto Protocol and Marvel Midnight Suns. Dennis welcomes the waves of new “swarm survivor” games on the Steam Deck. Liquids are Kyle’s nemeses in Noita. Kyle confirms top-down horror survival is real deal in Darkwood.

Kyle herded rats in A Plague Tale: Requiem. Dennis was glued to the Steam Deck playing Vampire Survivors, Brotato, and Soccer Story.

Dennis and Kyle agree that Saints Row is a mess but, we’ll keep playing it. Dennis fights a toilet in Arcade Paradise. Kyle enjoys hacking anime souls in Soul Hackers 2. Micheal goes back to XCOM 2 on the Switch. Dennis breaks his clubs in Cursed to Golf. Kyle and Dennis handle dissenters a bit differently in Cult of the Lamb. Dennis and Kyle explore the big-little world in Tinykin. Dennis fails at properly explaining how the Playdate puzzle game, Skwish, works. (Ed: No, I listened back, I really did, so I included a GIF in the show notes.)
