It’s The State of Gaming Podcast…for the year 2022! On this extra special year-end recap episode our hosts Cory Galliher and Nate Evans are once again joined by extra special guest Antal Bokor (from 3rd Coast Review and Culture Combine) – with assists from other Popzara Pals – to discuss the best, worst, and everything else that helped make gaming in 2022 surprisingly great. Let’s get to it!
So many games! Did your favorites make the cut? Games discussed include: Elden Ring, Immortality, High on Life, Vampire Survivors (and its clones), Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Scorn, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Gran Turismo 7, Escape Simulator, Dying Light 2: Stay Human, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, PowerSlave Exhumed, FixFox, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, Ooblets, Atari 50: Anniversary, Stray, Sonic Frontiers, and many others.
Come for the lists, stay for the commentary! The guys recap a year overflowing with quality blockbusters worth your time (and some stinkers not so much), touching on everything that made 2022 so memorable. Collections! Remasters! Rehashes! We got it all. Do hits like Sonic 2 and Uncharted mean videogame movies/shows will finally break through in 2023? Does Valve’s Steam Deck live up to the hype?
