Fuck you, it's January - a time for resolutions, winter snows, cozy socks, insurrections, and 3-hour podcasts? That's right, roommates, it's finally time for the big Save Room Game of the Year 2023 podcast! 

2023 was a massive year for indie games, AAs, and games across the AAA space from our favorite franchises. And with a great year of gaming, comes the great responsibility to podcast about it - hard.

We present Part 1 of our Game of the Year podcast, which we'd buy for a dollar, but probably owe you guys money just for how long it is. This covers our honorable mentions through our respective bottom 5 games with the next episode covering the final top 5. Fair warning: We do often litter these talks with spoilers so listen at your own risk.

We appreciate your support over the years and for sticking around for these end of the year behemoth-casts. Have some time codes on us for your listening efforts. Cheers!

Game of the Year 2023 (Part 1 - Fires of the Save Room)

The Save Room is your safe haven for gaming news and discussion! If you're looking for critical and well-informed opinions on the video game industry from two highly regarded experts... Let us know when you find that. That show sounds awesome.

Instead, crack open a cold one and listen to us rant about games, gaming culture, and Reggie Fils-Aimé's skull collection. When you listen to The Save Room, you're practically a roommate! Because we like you (and you owe us rent).

Hosted by Kevin Pape and Daniel.

New episodes on every Friday.
