Oh man, you need to add Final Fantasy Rebirth to the next list.

I'm dying to play The Great Circle. I've heard good things, but have to wait until the exclusivity is up.

killerbuttonfly.bsky.social•54 days ago

I’m guessing you’re waiting Kingo to get added to Marvel Rivals?

none-ya.bsky.social•53 days ago

I just got done replaying and enjoying ME Andromeda and trying to find any redeeming quality in Jarun Tann. 🤭

dal97.bsky.social•54 days ago

Lost Crown is so fun! Playing through it lately finally

rblaster.bsky.social•54 days ago

Ain’t no way you enjoyed playing Legends Of Zelda, it’s one of the most boring video games I’ve ever tried.

angelusmortis13.bsky.social•54 days ago

As someone whose favorite Nintendo franchise is The Legend of Zelda, I 100% agree. I love LoZ but I hated Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. BotW I finished but TotK I couldn't. Got pretty far into it and decided it was a waste of time and went and played some better games.

rblaster.bsky.social•54 days ago

yeah, BOTW and TOTK just felt like a chore to play

angelusmortis13.bsky.social•54 days ago

Definitely. The last straw for me was how they dumbed down Ganondorf in TotK. He's my favorite character and I hated how they portrayed him in that game.

rblaster.bsky.social•54 days ago

They had such a great opportunity to make him an iconic villain. Unfortunately, they chose to reduce him to a predictable antagonist. What games did you move on to?

angelusmortis13.bsky.social•54 days ago

Hmm. I don't remember since it was a long time ago. I know I played Fire Emblem Engage for a little bit but I ended up selling my Switch shortly after that. Sold all my consoles actually and migrated back to PC. Lately though I've been playing the Trails games. Almost caught up. 😎

linkfreeman1998.bsky.social•54 days ago

To me its not boring, its attention seeking and its tiring.

rblaster.bsky.social•54 days ago

exactly 😭 tbf it demands so much attention it ends up feeling more tiring than amusing

linkfreeman1998.bsky.social•54 days ago

literally game that made us feels like we're controlling Gen Z Link lmao

jordanquiverns.bsky.social•54 days ago

Prince of Persia was such a lovely surprise! I really liked the world and story on top of the great gameplay

radprometheus.bsky.social•53 days ago

Have you played CFB25?

drectar.bsky.social•54 days ago

Notice how shadow of the mid tree didn't make the list

zonbined.bsky.social•54 days ago

TF you mean tears of the kingdom is already over a year old

reminararin.bsky.social•53 days ago

Warhammer 40k 2? Dyou mean space marine 2, or just the second warhammer 40k video game that ever came out-

muaddibatreideez.bsky.social•54 days ago

Did you get a chance to try Helldivers 2? Would love your thoughts if you did!

diggnitty.bsky.social•54 days ago

I liked Warhammer a lot but really wish the combat had more depth.

goldenfin0.bsky.social•47 days ago

Astrobot is amazing. And Balatro is great too…but that starts sucking time very quickly. Stay safe out there.

parteaanimal.bsky.social•54 days ago

Battling with Cavill for the coolest hot guy to hang out with. Noble goal.

papatunatv.bsky.social•54 days ago

Alan Wake 2, Price of Persia and Indiana Jones, a man of exquisite taste I see

davidjagneaux.bsky.social•54 days ago

I hope you find time to check out some of the amazing VR games coming out too!

kmvoss1.bsky.social•53 days ago

Prince of Persia is such an underrated and unknown gem. Check it out people! Add Balatro and Path of Exile 2 and the list is about perfect.

synthwavekane.bsky.social•54 days ago

oh shit now i kinda miss the indoor kids podcast

dinothegonzo.bsky.social•54 days ago

It's time:

monadojojo.bsky.social•54 days ago

Some great choices here! And many I wanna play myself.

gonzoism76.bsky.social•54 days ago

Having fun with PoE2, Drova and Balatro at the moment.

cerberusthewise.bsky.social•54 days ago

Can’t wait for Stellar blade to drop on PC 👍

dylenwithane.bsky.social•53 days ago

Ever get the chance, that metaphor: refantazio hit different as well as persona 3 reload

patioyeller.bsky.social•54 days ago

Space Marine 2? Or some other 40k game?

robb.doering.ai•54 days ago

Ohhh duh yeah that’s def it. Looks rad. Cool list!

robb.doering.ai•54 days ago

Kumail you’d prolly like Helldivers II. Grab 3 friends if you can! Similar vibes

anubisthejackal.bsky.social•54 days ago

Excuse me sir, but "Warhammer 40k" is all but an entire genre - you can't say "Warhammer 40k" - that's like saying "Generic Shooter 2".

jordanquiverns.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yeah he can…there’s only one *video game* this year that could reasonably be called Warhammer 2, it’s pretty easy to figure out!

anubisthejackal.bsky.social•54 days ago

I'm like 75% joking, but also, there's no less than like a dozen different "Warhammer 40k" games available JUST ON XBOX right now.

jordanquiverns.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yeah but he’s talking about games that came out this year, you can tell because he labeled the one that did not! Lotta people being pedantic for no reason

hicama.bsky.social•54 days ago

Any love for black myth wukong or the Remnant 2 and Elden ring's DLCs. All of them were pretty solid additions to the solusborne genre

smoketoast.bsky.social•54 days ago

The Lost Crown is slept on, great game

mesmerhomixide.bsky.social•54 days ago

Alan wake 2 🔥🔥🔥

tonycosentino.bsky.social•54 days ago

But what are you playing on the toilet?

skymoss.bsky.social•54 days ago

Paper Mario Thousand year door is one of my favorite games of all time.

tuberted.bsky.social•54 days ago

Currently playing POE2. In the queue is Flight Simulator 2024.

christinamkaiser.bsky.social•54 days ago

Mine is late 2023 to 2024:
Overwatch 2
Horizon Forbidden west (talk about foreshadowing)
Cyberpunk 2077 (also talk about foreshadowing)
Balder’s Gate 3
Bioshock 1 and 2, need to finish 3.

gameroute.bsky.social•54 days ago

Such great choice!

lakeeffectsnow.bsky.social•54 days ago

Check out Balatro on a tablet for when you need to kill time on set.

boganjosh.bsky.social•54 days ago

No Helldivers 2 or Balders Gate 3…?
🤷🏼‍♂️

kumimono.bsky.social•54 days ago

Now Indika, that's a prime choice.

matthewmiranda.bsky.social•53 days ago

I wrote on one of those. You're welcome!

thebigchingon.bsky.social•54 days ago

My favorite games I've played in 2024:
Tecmo Super Bowl 3
Madden 98
Space Ace
Way of the Warrior
Road War 2000
Maniac Mansion
Bruce Lee

theherbgerblin.bsky.social•54 days ago

I just got to Nepal in Indiana, and I'm really enjoying this game! 🙂

gfnstylus.bsky.social•53 days ago

Ew.... 2K🤢

mercurialmoose.bsky.social•54 days ago

The Indiana Jones game was soooooooooo good! Had all the feels and fun of Raiders and Troy Baker absolutely knocked it out of the park playing Indy

misajoy.bsky.social•54 days ago

Have you tried gaming in VR yet?

notmw2.bsky.social•54 days ago

Needs more Rocketleague

khanye.bsky.social•54 days ago

We need to get you into some tcgs in 2025... Easier on the eyes, same chaos otherwise

itspolo.bsky.social•54 days ago

Why not play the woke ass shit? you wanted it

reaper12092.bsky.social•54 days ago

What is woke ass shit?

gfnstylus.bsky.social•53 days ago

He doesn't know either. Probably thinks "woke ass shit" is a game that has anything to do with women, black people, gay people ECT. It's so tiring.

itspolo.bsky.social•53 days ago

Dragon Age, Forspoken and Concord to name 3 that came out in the last 6 months. Concord took down their severs can you cannot even play it, the game dropped at the end of Aug.

reaper12092.bsky.social•53 days ago

How are these titles "woke"? Explain

itspolo.bsky.social•53 days ago

the push narratives that have woke agendas. i dont know what else to tell ya. all sold poorly and have no player base. best bet is to do your own research and not let others tell you why things are the way they are. so just google it and read some articles(even if they hurt your feelings)

reaper12092.bsky.social•53 days ago

My feelings won't get hurt. I just want to understand what "woke"is. If you're saying woke is veilguard and the explanation of genders and gay and all that then you haven't played previous games. If it's female or black main characters then again you have bigger issues.

scot-f.bsky.social•53 days ago

Lol that was an easy block!

jimtasty.bsky.social•54 days ago

Love these pick!

Indiana Jones was a stand out to me as well. And the fact more folks got to play Paper Mario TTYD is amazing.

watercolor-wannabe.bsky.social•54 days ago

Fair enough but what are the ones you did NOT enjoy playing.

malachiross.bsky.social•54 days ago

If you have not tried Cyberpunk and the Phantom Liberty expansion, you should.

drawingnikki.bsky.social•54 days ago

Time to try game of the year Astro bot

86lukem.bsky.social•54 days ago

Indika... someone likes Run and nun gameplay

iwillbe9.bsky.social•53 days ago

Daily I play Sudoku, (about 6x a day), Zynga Poker (Texas Hold'em), PGA Tour, Wordle and a Crossword. I am fairly old with ample free time. I think it helps to keep my mind sharp.

christianmcintire.bsky.social•54 days ago

I'm very far behind, and while it was divisive, did enjoy Outlaws. Looking forward to Indy, though.

deneen.bsky.social•54 days ago

Indy is pretty great. I'm still in awe of Troy Baker's Indiana Jones. The voice acting is top notch.

christianmcintire.bsky.social•54 days ago

It’s what everyone says, and I know I’m going to enjoy it.

jonabrams.com•54 days ago

That’s a great list!

juuulieeenn.bsky.social•54 days ago

How good was Stellar Blade 1-10?
I want to Play it maybe

cretius.bsky.social•53 days ago

Is that space marine 2 or the core 40k game?

aarondavis00.bsky.social•54 days ago

Hope you enjoyed them!

seanmconner.bsky.social•54 days ago

Any shadow of the Erdtree love?

timstump.bsky.social•54 days ago

Now do Stalker 2! The setting and atmosphere is so good.

shimbondrn.bsky.social•54 days ago

I’m primarily interested in the Indy adventure and the rest I might fall into at some point. There’s never enough time.

soullessemperor.bsky.social•53 days ago

Have you played Antonblast yet? It's a really good indie game.

robertjoscribe.bsky.social•54 days ago

I'm assuming that second one is Space Marine 2? My god that was so much fun

neverdigital.bsky.social•54 days ago

Solid choices!

m-runner5150.bsky.social•54 days ago

I played Balder’s Gate Extended Edition for approximately my 100th go through.

It’s like playing solitaire with a deck of cards that are worn to the point I know what the next card will be.

*still better than Trump, he’s not playing with a full deck*

davester31.bsky.social•54 days ago

College Football 25 has been fun too

lakersnews17.bsky.social•54 days ago

Paper Mario & Luigi's Mansion are in my backlog, I need to get on that. Another thing I have to look forward to is your show in Oakland.

realpleo.bsky.social•53 days ago

No Echoes of Wisdom?

gcprotogen.bsky.social•54 days ago

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is a surprisingly excellent metroidvania. I was a little sad it didn't get more fanfare. It was incredibly well made. An I agree on Indiana Jones and Warhammer too.

kaijukaiser.bsky.social•54 days ago

Wait, is this really the actor? If so this dude is based as hell. No wonder he is in Intergalactic.

avi7.bsky.social•54 days ago

Alan Wake 2 was my favorite game I played in 2024, so good

julio.shares.games•54 days ago

Need to try Alan wake! Thanks for sharing!

mauliksharma.bsky.social•54 days ago

We all know you played Intergalactic and that is your GOTY. Give us your secrets.

entrumpy.bsky.social•54 days ago

kumail.bsky.social•54 days ago

Star Wars Outlaws

thisismysuperawe.bsky.social•53 days ago

SO FUCKING BASED!
i've never heard of this "Alain Wacky" character i shall give this extensive time to research and obsess appropriately. Hope he's similar to my writer! <3

lukemaynard.bsky.social•54 days ago

Fun fact for those who are wondering: Star Wars Outlaws is worth playing, even for those of us who have not actually been immortalized in canon as a literal Star Wars Outlaw.

akavia123000.bsky.social•54 days ago

You should play Balders Gate 3. It might be the greatest game ever made. I also suggest Black Myth Wukong.

atalantadoll.bsky.social•54 days ago

You ARE a Jedi, so this tracks

hardywallbanger.bsky.social•54 days ago

Have you gotten into Balatro yet?

chamfort142.bsky.social•54 days ago

You should also play the one where the guy says, "BD1! Stim!" ;)

d-flo1.bsky.social•46 days ago

Star Wars In-Laws?

jaybrittenham.bsky.social•54 days ago

I loved "Outlaws" and the new Prince of Persia. That series is well suited to the Metroidvania genre.

I also enjoyed Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Persona 3: Reload, and Metaphor: ReFantazio.

ewb.io•54 days ago

just got this! like it so far

jenmsft.bsky.social•54 days ago

Oh yeah I still need to play paper Mario. Alan Wake 2 was awesome

ambassadorkong.bsky.social•54 days ago

Where's Infinity Nikki? List is suspect.

madmaudlin.bsky.social•54 days ago

It’s nice when your friends get jacked and can still hang with the gamer crowd.

thisilove.bsky.social•54 days ago

What about games that I can't stop playing even though I'm miserable - destiny 2

linkfreeman1998.bsky.social•54 days ago

to me its somehow rotating between Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and Garry's Mod. Maybe cuz I can do anything and or nothing in both games lol.

Still occasionally play other games (which is mostly old games).

butterfly-palm.bsky.social•53 days ago

Madden 25

gfnstylus.bsky.social•53 days ago

Eww... Madden 🤢

butterfly-palm.bsky.social•53 days ago

I know I know but it's football

boburell.bsky.social•54 days ago

Okay, but we all made a solemn pact not to enjoy 2K25.

gimmydat.bsky.social•53 days ago

*pours a little Gamer Fuel out for the Indoor Kids podcast*.

conorcawley.bsky.social•53 days ago

prince of persia was SO good, didnt know I could enjoy a side scroller that much

dielate.bsky.social•53 days ago

Lost me at Indiana jones

sagemell.bsky.social•53 days ago

Why? Got 100% completion last week and enjoyed it quite a bit

karieoki1.bsky.social•54 days ago

Okay we can vibe with Totk

biltongbaggins.bsky.social•54 days ago

Nice. I started playing at least four of those.

Games I completed … None.

I need to prioritize.

vmf8.bsky.social•54 days ago

Same here

lowdroprate.bsky.social•54 days ago

Kumail, you weren’t a fan of Shadow of the Erdtree?

mikekeating.bsky.social•54 days ago

pssh dude could barely beat Gundyr
(obviously kidding, 14 deaths on gundyr is pretty respectable)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee845Y4GVBw

theguuuuut.bsky.social•54 days ago

So glad Kumail is here to stay and TJ Miller is gone. Also best DLM guest and worst DLM guest.

lowdroprate.bsky.social•54 days ago

I’ve never seen this before. It’s great lol!

mikekeating.bsky.social•54 days ago

yeah for some reason i remembered it as a Conan bit, not gamestop

man i should play DS3 again

lonoprime.bsky.social•53 days ago

I need to play Alan Wake 2. I love Alan Wake games.

talos111.bsky.social•53 days ago

Sam Lake, you hack (affectionate)

robb.doering.ai•54 days ago

“Warhammer 40k 2”….? Huh? Like the strategy game?

Also wouldn’t that just be Warhammer 40,001/41K lol

mrthursday.bsky.social•54 days ago

Sort of like how Rambo: First Blood Part 2 should have been called Rambo: Second Blood.

vawilson.bsky.social•54 days ago

I love how you put Luigi directly in the middle 🤔🤣

b1gdill.bsky.social•54 days ago

Every time I see a clip from Prince of Persia, I'm tempted to snag it.

smittylax6.bsky.social•54 days ago

Hold on, did you not play Jedi Survivor?

ddoz.bsky.social•54 days ago

For the Emperor

thedogfromhell.bsky.social•54 days ago

Love the list, great games on there.

elmosbigdaddy.bsky.social•54 days ago

Luigi 3: CEO hunt

manchildalorian.bsky.social•54 days ago

Good list. Always love to see Remedy Studios games get some love. Maybe @samlakewrites.bsky.social could give you a role in Control 2. You'd make a great FBC agent!

elonpedoguymusk.bsky.social•54 days ago

i played a little bit of diablo 4 this year

linwetzel.bsky.social•54 days ago

Did you ever transfer to WoW?

elonpedoguymusk.bsky.social•54 days ago

i'm running a resto druid but i don't heal

linwetzel.bsky.social•54 days ago

Shadow, but no vamp embrace. Suck those mana pots.

wookietim.bsky.social•53 days ago

For me (And not all these came out last year - I just played them last year):
Persona 3 Reload
Metaphor Refantazio
The Last of US
Uncharted 1
Ghost of Tsushima
Astrobot
Super Mario Wonder
Kirby The Forgotten Land

gentlemanoctopus.bsky.social•54 days ago

A disturbing lack of Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders on this list smh

alexflorack4co.bsky.social•54 days ago

Space Marine 2 is so dope!!

gilgamesh086.bsky.social•54 days ago

You should give Warframe a try.

thisisjefflegaspi.com•53 days ago

obligatory Lorelei and the Laser Eyes suggestion! it’s on Switch, Steam, and PS5

hamburgerprime.bsky.social•54 days ago

After Dragon Age The Veilguard, I start Indiana Jones. Play what you love, and love what you play! Start the year off right and get your game on!

mikeybstyle.bsky.social•54 days ago

Interesting seeing Luigi’s Mansion 2 on there! Have you played 1 and 3? Definitely think 2 is good but the weakest and 3 is fantastic!

brooke-s.bsky.social•54 days ago

I cannot wait for Indiana Jones & the Great Circle to be avail on PS5 😭😭

valiktasher.bsky.social•51 days ago

damn we got warhammer 40k 2?!?

kekline.bsky.social•54 days ago

Balder's Gate 3 should be on that list!

blank37.bsky.social•54 days ago

Playing stellar blade is an instant red flag sorry

estibancreations.bsky.social•53 days ago

I’m still playing Final Fantasy XII. For some years now.

paulto2202.bsky.social•53 days ago

Warhammer 40k 2: Jimmy Warhammer Returns

steelphoenix78.bsky.social•54 days ago

Have you played Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader? I just snagged it in the Steam Winter Sale because it looked cool & I heard some folks comment that - to at least some extent - it can serve as a good lore intro for folks (like me) who don't know a lot about the franchise.

steelphoenix78.bsky.social•54 days ago

Of course, I've also got a ton of other games in my backlog to play...Including a particular sci-fi game featuring this mid-level bureaucrat character who's kind of a jerk, but still oddly likeable at times (at least, more so than Foster Addison was...Yikes, don't even get me started!)

flowinprose.bsky.social•54 days ago

Stellar Blade....

judge4.bsky.social•54 days ago

Nice
For me it was:
Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2
Black Ops 6
Silent Hill 2 remake
Batman Arkham Shadow
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
Conscript
The Thing
Terminator Defiance
The Forever Winter

eggsofsatan.bsky.social•54 days ago

How do you have time to play all those games while maintaining your stupid Kingo body

kaijukaiser.bsky.social•54 days ago

To be fair he’s pretty smart with his choices. He could probably play all of these in 250 to 300 hours over the course of the year. They aren’t massive RPGs other than Zelda and he said he’s been working on that since 2023

eggsofsatan.bsky.social•54 days ago

I was not being particularly serious

kaijukaiser.bsky.social•54 days ago

Oh, hard to tell. I mean the dude is probably really busy

eggsofsatan.bsky.social•54 days ago

I thought "stupid Kingo body" was a dead giveaway

kaijukaiser.bsky.social•54 days ago

No clue what that even means to be honest

timthelitch.bsky.social•53 days ago

wasn’t luigi’s mansion 2023 or am I missing something.

bonagrok.bsky.social•53 days ago

If you like 40k, rogue trader is an amazingly deep and well-done take on the world in a tactical rpg setting. It’s an excellent game but heavy on the reading.

prosborne.bsky.social•54 days ago

What did you think of Luigi? I was interested in getting that one, but my wife has a backlog she needs to play through before I can get anything else. Or so she says.

Please don’t tell her I added that last bit.
