We’re back from our Holiday break and are ready to talk about our favourite games of 2020. This year was a weird one, especially because of the on-going pandemic: games were delayed and confinement changed our gaming habits. So, we’re mixing up the format of this episode by not limiting it to games released in 2020 but to all the games we played this year instead, regardless of when they came out. We discuss which games brought us the most joy, which were one let us down, which ones surprised us and which ones we wished we had time to play but didn’t get to. We close out the show by picking our Game of the Year 2020.

Welcome to our yearly game night which is our version of a Holiday Party. This year, we organised a Video Game Secret Santa where each cast member got assigned a person to recommend a game to, giving three reasons why they think their gift receiver would like to play it. We then have to guess who was our Secret Santa based on said recommendation. Secondly, Cat brought back Guess That Badly Video Game which is pretty self-explanatory. Finally, we play Video Game Theme Trivia where we listen to 20 seconds of a theme song and we have to say from which game it is. So sit back, grab some seasonal snacks and a drink and play along with us!

Join us for a drive around Night City for this week’s GoGCast as Leah shares her first impressions of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s really buggy on console as of recording this so we might have to revisit this game later on after a few updates. Simon also shares his impressions of Shadowlands, the latest World of Warcraft expansion. The Game Awards 2020 came and went so we review who won our predictions game and share our highlights from the show. Also, enjoy some very giggly random stories about Harrison Ford, BTS and dating hot-lines.
