Was 2022 A Good Year for Single Player Gamers Feat. Tega

Episode 45

Was 2022 a good year for single player gamers? To answer this crucial question, content creator and fellow single player game fan, Tego, is on the show to discuss some of this year’s best games from both AAA and indie studios.

As is The Single Player Experience tradition, Tego shares his top video games of all time and Sebastion tests his nerdom knowledge with a lightning round of trivia questions. They then discuss the next wave of gaming, the power gamer voices have (or don’t), and AAA companies being outshadowed by the success of indie studios.

Sebastian and Tego also ask themselves: How does 2022 stack up to past years? Did indie releases carry the year? Why are we giving Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet a pass? What happened with games like Ghostwire: Tokyo that were released and forgotten about?

For all the answers to these questions and more, tune in to this episode!

PaxWest 2023 - Day 1 Impressions and Awards 2023

In This Episode, Sebastion will go over the best games he played on Day 1 of PaxWest! He is also going to give his Day One MVP!

Here is an Excerpt from Sebastion's article on the ProNerdReport.com: "I had quite the experience on my first day of Pax West 2023. So for those who don’t know, Pax West is a gaming convention in Seattle Washington. It features a variety of games from the recently released and also upcoming gems to keep your eyes on. You can go around playing the demos for the different games to get a feel for them and hopefully find something to look forward to. As a member of the media, I was invited to try out the games and get an interview with reps from the studio. This was a cool experience both on the networking side and getting to play these wonderful games. Many I had no idea even existed. On the first day, I played some AAA games like Tekken 8, Prince of Persia, and Persona 5 Tactica. Really Enjoyed these games and look forward to playing more of them when they drop. I got to play some Indies, many of which blew me away and left me salivating for more. All that said, here is my Day 1 Pax West Impressions and the day one MVP."

Day 1 PaxEast Game Recommendations and The Day One MVP!

In This Episode, Sebastion will go over the best games he played on Day 1 of PaxEast! He is also going to give his Day One MVP!

Here is an Excerpt from Sebastion's article on the ProNerdReport.com: "I had quite the experience on my first day of PaxEast. So for those who don’t know, PaxEast is a gaming convention in Boston Massachusetts. It features a variety of games from the recently released and also upcoming gems to keep your eyes on. You can go around playing the demos for the different games to get a feel for them and hopefully find something to look forward to. As a member of the media, I was invited to try out the games and get an interview with reps from the studio. This was a cool experience both on the networking side and getting to play these wonderful games. Many I had no idea even existed. On the first day, I played some AAA games like Dead Island 2 and The Lord of the Rings Gollum. Neither game blew me away and both gave me the feeling that they would be just OK games.  All that said here were is my Day 1 PaxEast Impressions and the day one MVP."

PaxWest 2023 - Day 2 Impressions and Awards 2023

In This Episode, Sebastion will go over the best games he played on Day 2 of PaxWest! He is also going to give his Day Two MVP!

Here is an Excerpt from Sebastion's article on the ProNerdReport.com: "I had quite the experience on my 2nd day of Pax West 2023. So for those who don’t know, Pax West is a gaming convention in Seattle Washington. It features a variety of games from the recently released and also upcoming gems to keep your eyes on. You can go around playing the demos for the different games to get a feel for them and hopefully find something to look forward to. As a member of the media, I was invited to try out the games and get an interview with reps from the studio. This was a cool experience both on the networking side and getting to play these wonderful games. Many I had no idea even existed.

On the first day, I played some AAA games like Tekken 8, Prince of Persia, and Persona 5 Tactica. Really Enjoyed these games and look forward to playing more of them when they drop.

I got to play some more Indies, many of which blew me away and left me salivating for more. All that said, here is my Day 2 Pax West Impressions and the Day Two MVP."
