Derek: What game from this year would you recommend for someone just getting into video games as a hobby? Sterling: Marvel Snap is very good and everyone who plays it loves it. I'm looking for Fortnite, baby. It's the funnest game. Derek: Do you think like just lower the number number 37 just isn't coming together?"Sterling: That's so weird to me. But I don't know. He said as of like 2020 it's still active, but that's like the best. Maybe that's the issue."

Marvel's Midnight Suns is a tactics game from XCOM developer Firaxis, only instead of shooting aliens a hundred times from behind cover, you play cards to beat ass with your best friend, Blade. This is, objectively, a very good idea, but how well does the rest of the game hold up? Also, what's on our backlog as we approach the GOTY proceedings?

Also discussed: Dave the Diver, Pentiment, What the Bat, Binding of Isaac, Andor, Soccer Story, Peglin, Tiny Rogues
