Hey folks it is that time again, time for the Games of the Year show.  As is often the case we ended up with way too many things to talk about and could in no way fit them into a single show.  As a result I will bring you part one this week and next week it will conclude with part two.  We have nineteen games to discuss this year, which means we left some ten honorable mentions on the cutting room floor just because there was nowhere near enough time.  This is probably the most diverse list of games that we have compiled because as a group there was not a whole lot of overlap in the titles we played this year.

Without further waffling I bring you the first round of discussion.

Topics Discussed:

• How we Choose Games
• Ghost of Tsushima - Director’s Cut
• Cozy Grove
• Boyfriend Dungeon
• Celeste
• Chicory a Colorful Tale
• Deathloop
• Deltarune
• Haven
• Psychonaut 2
• Subnautica Below Zero
• Tales of Arise
• Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries

In our ethics news and bits episodes we grab a few recent news items that we want to chat about, but not devote an entire episode to.  This time around we look at China’s dramatic new restrictions on when kids can play and controversies around the content warnings of two dating games.
