Around this time of the year, other video games podcasts will be doing their game of the year pods and talking about games like Alan Wake 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Spider-Man 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. NOT US! No, no, no. This is the culmination of the first year of Stealth Boom Boom. And that means this is the 1st Annual Stealth Boom Boom Awards – Game of the Year 2023.
In other words... The Boomies!
On this podcast you'll hear us discuss the 25 games we've reviewed on the podcast this year. Over the course of this mammoth 3+ hour episode, you will hear us organise that list of 25 games into a top 25. Firstly, we try and place games into our three groups – the Bottom 9, the Middle 8, and the Top 8. However, as you'll hear, something called TOMOTTOM quickly becomes integral to proceedings.
Once we've placed games into their groups, we then order each individual group. And, ultimately, we end up determining Stealth Boom Boom’s game of the year for 2023.
These descriptions are often full of episode talking points, but it feels spoilery to even suggest what we speak about on the pod. Instead, here is an alphabetised list of the 25 games up for discussion today:
- Among Us
- Assassin's Creed
- Basingstoke
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Chicken Run
- Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
- DARK
- Deus Ex: The Fall
- Far Cry
- Forbidden Siren
- Ghost of a Tale
- Gunpoint
- Manhunt
- Metal Gear Solid
- Monaco: What's Yours is Mine
- Outlast
- Penumbra (Overture, Black Plague, Requiem)
- Remothered: Tormented Fathers
- Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
- Tenchu: Stealth Assassins
- The Last Of Us
- Thief: The Dark Project
- Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
- Tomb Raider
- XIII
With all that said... please enjoy The Boomies 2023.
