4Player Podcast #708: The 2021 Game of the Year Awards Show (Part 1)
25We did it. Another year in the bag! In this 5 part series, we look back at all of the games, moments, characters, etc that defined 2021 in gaming. With all six of the core staff in attendance, we run through 23 categories that paint a pretty clear picture of what worked for us and what didn't in the past year. Buckle up because there is a LOT to talk about. By the time you reach the end, we hope we have inspired you to try something that you may have missed!
