SHOWNOTES: With the passing of another year comes another batch of games to look back at, and boy was 2025 stacked! We covered several last year, but with so many more unreviewed, it was time to catch up. Ash, Megan, and Dan discuss a few select titles at length, mention others we've each played, and reveal our personal picks for Game of the Year at the Collateral Gaming Awards! Stay tuned for more content in 2026, including our next Game Launch review on Resident Evil Requiem, as well as our upcoming episode on Night Trap.
