I'm with Brad in that in my 35 years of gaming, Outer Wilds might be the best game I've ever played. It's certainly in the conversation, at the very least. I'm glad it got recognition here. Control and Disco and the rest are all extremely good, but Outer Wilds was a slam dunk as soon as I finished its mystery.

I really enjoyed watching and listening to this year's deliberations. The new format makes more sense.

In my opinion, Best Game was a slam dunk and I'm glad they all came to their senses. The game is just that special.

Loved this, thanks Janina!

Magnifique!

I hope Rorie gets better soon.

Would love to see more of Valfaris on a GBEast playdate.

Glad to see Caty McCarthy join the crew in this block!

This is so stupid. I'll allow it.

I just finished the Gears 5 campaign on PC and I really enjoyed it. The encounters on intermediate were sometimes a real test of my skill as a player, forcing me to use all of my weapons to the limit. It's very satisfying when you pull off a victory just as you're out of ammo. Few games are able to accomplish that for me. Gears is so good at that. I really liked the new exploration open world aspect and I hope the next Gears goes even further in that direction. Looking forward to some multiplayer.

Jeff Bakalar is a national treasure.
