EGF's 2023 Games of the Year
We've emerged from our long slumber, and what better way to kick things back off with an incredibly delayed GOTY 2023 episode. We finally give games we played up to 18 months ago their flowers, and we give our top 10s from an absolute banger past year, too.
A programming note: we are back from hiatus, and do have our next 2 episodes in the hopper. We recorded a bit out of order, so excuse any continuity errors in here, but here's our upcoming schedule for those who forgot:
Next month: Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
July: SHMUP Grab Bag - Blazing Lasers, Lords of Thunder, and Mushihimesama (never announced on an episode, not gonna lie we got too intimidated by Dwarf Fortress)
August: Kingdom Hearts II

Episode 20: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
It's been a while, but we're back with an episode on the N64 action platformer Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. We find plenty to enjoy in the game's unique sense of humor and hefty technical achievements. Before that though, we've got a hefty segment of other games we've been playing, featuring Tears of the Kingdom spoiler talk, a shocking twist from Eric, and a very special guest!
Next Episode: Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

Episode 19: Omori
This month we played the 2020 indie RPG Omori, and definitely had some feelings about its combat, dark plot beats, and unique setting. On top of that, it's been months since we recorded an episode, so we have a TON of other games to talk about at the top of the show.

Episode 18: Densha de Go! Hashiro Yamanote Line
All aboard for this month's episode on the Nintendo Switch train line simulator Densha de Go! Hashiro Yamanote Line.

Episode 17: THE MISSING: JJ Macfield and the Island of Memories
Our game this month is The Missing: JJ Macfield and the Island of Memories, the 2018 puzzle platformer from Japanese indie designer Swery65. The game mixs lots of heady topics in its narrative with an unusual style of gameplay, but do the 2 halves add up to a satisfying whole?

Episode 16: Live A Live
This month we discuss Live A Live, a beloved SNES RPG with ideas far ahead of its time. We all played the 2022 Switch remake, and have thoughts on its unique gameplay structure, new art style, and some questionable voice acting.
