Hollow Knight Silksong is OUT, and we've been playing it! Does it already have game of the year potential? We discuss whether we think Silksong could land in our GOTY spot, and what is in that spot currently. Plus, we look ahead to the rest of the year to see if there's anything on the horizon that might sneak it's way in.

What's your game of the year so far?

Inspired by the recent release of Drag x Drive on Switch 2, we’re diving headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of non-traditional controls. We’re talking the best, the worst, and the “who thought this was a good idea?” of gaming hardware — from bongos and maracas to a SpongeBob mutilated body controller.
