We've gathered the full crew of Ben Hanson, Haley MacLean, Jacob Geller, Janet Garcia, Jeff Marchiafava, Kelsey Lewin, Kyle Hilliard, Leo Vader, and Sarah Podzorski to create a list of our favorite games from the year before we start hacking away to get the list down to the Top 20. Will your favorite game make the cut? Please forgive us if it doesn't. Join us on next week's episode where we'll rank The Two Tens. What will take the #1 spot? Will it be Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Will it be Death Stranding 2: On The Beach? Will it be Aotenjo: Infinite Hands? Tune in to find out!
