364: Game of the Year 2022, Immortality and High on Life Reviews

We’re back in 2023 with our annual Game of the Year 2022 discussion! The crew highlights their favorite games of 2022. Will we have some surprises in our lists? Tune in to find out! 

We also have reviews of some leftover 2022 games like Sam Barlow’s Immortality and Justin Roiland’s High on Life. Both very different but both very weird. 

We talk about the trouble facing Ubisoft with at least 7 games now canceled at their various studios and their underperforming games from 2022. What do they need to do to get themselves back on their feet?

Finally, Brett played a lot of racing games over the break and talks about each one head to head. We look at some of the biggest arcade-style racers on the market and compare them all: Need for Speed Unbound, Forza Horizon 5, Dirt 5 and Grid Legends. All of these games are available now on Game Pass!
