It’s The State of Gaming Podcast…for the year 2022! On this extra special year-end recap episode our hosts Cory Galliher and Nate Evans are once again joined by extra special guest Antal Bokor (from 3rd Coast Review) – with assists from other Popzara Pals – to discuss the best, worst, and everything else that helped make gaming in 2022 surprisingly great.

The guys recap a year overflowing with quality blockbusters worth your time (and some stinkers not so much), touching on everything that made 2022 so memorable. Collections! Remasters! Rehashes! We got it all. Do hits like Sonic 2 and Uncharted mean videogame movies/shows will finally break through in 2023? Does Valve’s Steam Deck live up to the hype?
