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 #516 – Cooperative Design

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo
Hey Folks! We were out last week because Bel’s world was burning and all of the smoke was killing his lungs. This week we start off with a discussion about the Eleventh Hour Games and Grinding Gear Games situation as GGG pulls a Blizzard and ambushes the Last Epoch Season 2 launch.  From there we talk about the chill tea shop gameplay of Wanderstop, telling us that sometimes it is a good idea to stop and relax for a bit.  Tam and Kodra played through Wanderstop and talked about how it has evolved the already great co-op gameplay of It Takes Two with a much better story.  Ash and Ammo talk about diving into Xenoblade Chronicles X as it just was re-released on Nintendo Switch.  Bel talks a bit about Gunlocked which attempts to be the Vampire Survivors of Bullethell Shooters…  and fails in interesting ways that will hopefully be addressed in the sequel.  Bel also shares his initial thoughts from the Titans Quest II playtest, and Tam shares his thoughts about what he is seeing about Dune Awakening.

Topics Discussed:

  • The EHG/GGG Situation
    • The ambush scheduling of Path of Exile II
    • The reschedule of Last Epoch Season 2
  • Wanderstop
  • Split Fiction
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X
  • Gunlocked / Boons and Burdens
  • Titan Quest II
  • Dune Awakening
