079: 2022 Games of the Year

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.
