AggroChat #554 – Games of the Year Show 2025 – Part Two

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen

Hey Folks! We are back in full force and continuing our adventure through the second part of the Games of the Year 2025 podcast.  We cut the list in half, giving us fifteen games that we were talking about in each episode.  This is not necessarily a numerical list, but the titles that appear later in the shows did get more votes. It was a great year for gaming, but also a year where we were constantly getting distracted by the next big thing coming down the pipe.  While we played a lot of games… we did not necessarily FINISH a lot of games.

Topics Discussed:

  • Fantasy Life – The Girl Who Steals Time
  • Chess.Com
  • Guild Wars Reforged
  • Cauldron
  • Ghost of Yotei
  • Dune Awakening
  • Atelier Resleriana The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian
  • Deltarune Chapters 3-4
  • Wanderstop
  • Where Winds Meet
  • Path of Exile Legacy of Phrecia
  • Split Fiction
  • Hades II
  • Blue Prince
  • Silksong

AggroChat #532 – Is It Game?

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen

Hey Folks! We got the full crew and dived into the topic of what defines a game. Is it still a game if it mostly plays itself? From there, we talk about the recent acquisition of Eleventh Hour Games by Krafton and what it might mean for the future of Last Epoch. We reprise the topic of connecting with players since Kodra was out last week and had thoughts. This deteriorates into a general topic about Guild Wars 2 and chasing rare items.  Tam shares the conclusion to his new computer topic from last week and what he decided to do.  Finally, we talk a bit about how Hades 2 has released the last patch before the official 1.0 launch.

Topics Discussed:

  • Is it a game if it plays itself?
  • The Sale of Last Epoch
  • Kodra on Connecting with Players
  • General Guild Wars 2 Discussion
  • Pulling the Trigger on a New Computer
  • Hades 2 is Coming
