It is time once again for an annual Kotaku Splitscreen tradition: going through EVERY VIDEO GAME OF THE YEAR.
This week, Kirk and I talk about all the major game releases in January, February, March, April, May, and June, a list that includes Persona 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, the Nintendo Switch, and many more gems. We talk about Early Access, Mass Effect: Andromeda’s problems, and which games have stuck with us over the past few months. (The full list is below.)
