The World Map podcast

Here it is, the podcast episode of The World Map’s best 25 video games of 2022 (based on the ones I played, in my own opinion, of course), along with a few honorable mentions. Listen to find out where games like Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, God of War Ragnarok, and Elden Ring landed. Which game takes home the top spot? It might surprise you! Missed last year’s list? Check out the 2021 games of the year. Special thanks to the DLC Podcast Discord community for a great year and all your support. (World Map is not associated with DLC.) The List For those of you who I know are going to scrub to the end of the episode and just want to read the list anyway instead of all my insightful comments and discussion of each game (hehe), here you go: Nobody Saves the World God of War: Ragnarok Horizon Forbidden West Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope Stray Kirby and the Forgotten Land Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Tunic V Rising TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge Lost Ark Cult of the Lamb Marvel Snap Immortality Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga MultiVersus Mario Strikers: Battle League Weird West Bayonetta 3 Rogue Legacy 2 Infernax Vampire Survivors Asterigos Diablo Immortal Patrick’s Parabox Honorable mentions: Trek to Yomi Young Souls Timemelters Necrosmith Thanks for listening to The World Map Podcast. If you enjoyed the show be sure to let me know and maybe with enough feedback and downloads I’ll get back to podcasting more than once or twice a year. With the impending doom of Twitter, you can hit me up as @jdizzle on Tribel or J-Dizzle#8340 on Discord. Oh, and sorry for anyone who legitimately thought that I would play Elden Ring.

2021’s Gaming Superlatives In this episode, the World Map Podcast and your host Josh return to talk about some great games from 2021 you may have missed, and maybe some you should pass on. These aren’t our Top 25 games of the year, but they are worthy of some kind of recognition, good or bad. You know those superlatives in your high school yearbook? This is the podcast version of that. And no, I don’t know what happened to episode 91. And yes, I do realize how insanely well Microsoft turned things around since 2018’s “The Fall of Xbox” episode. Thanks, Game Pass.
