Game of the Year Discussion and More! – The TouchArcade Show #476

It is the first TouchArcade Show of 2021! And it is rife with… technical issues! Yes, about 20-ish minutes in something goes incredibly awry, so we had to restart our recording. Hopefully it’s not too disruptive. Oh, also my flaky mic goes out a few times too. We are such a low-rent outfit around here. At any rate, I apologize for any technical weirdness this week, but beyond that we dive into a few interesting news stories from this week before I exhaustively go into why I love our Game of the Year pick Genshin Impact so much.

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [email protected]. We read ’em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji. As always, you can listen to us with the links below… And if you like what you hear, please subscribe and/or drop us a review in iTunes. Much appreciated!

As a companion to this audio podcast, we also do a video version of the same show that is exclusive to Patreon which allows you to see us playing the games we’re talking about.
