As things have transitioned more and more digital, I have begun to worry that plenty of my old time favorites were going to become impossible to play, so I became fast friends with my local retro store and invested heavily in some older consoles in need of a loving home.
It’s the year I finally decided to recommit to the physical and get heavily into retro gaming. Thanks, never-ending pandemic! Despite several high profile delays, it was actually a fantastic year in gaming filled with award worthy turns by familiar faces (see Halo Infinite, Bowser’s Fury, Psychonauts 2, and Metroid Dread to name a few) and sizzling newcomers like Death’s Door, Unsighted, Dodgeball Academia, The Forgotten City, and Unpacking.įor me, though, this year was mostly not about the new at all. Another year is in the books and another set of records have been etched into history for games played (123) and games completed (78).
