I am really proud of both the way we did our Game of the Year and awards, and of the incredible variety of games we chose as our winners.
It’s time to announce the final round of winners for the Rogueies (including our Game of the Year)!

I mean, we knew which game would win when we created the category, but the other nominees really show off how versatile the word "frustrating" can be.

Hey gang, our weekly podcast won't have another episode for a few weeks.
We're busy with GOTY stuff atm, and our editor has some non-Rogue stuff he's working on in the early part of 2026. We'll be back before the end of January.
BUT look for our two GOTY winner episodes! Coming Dec. 24 and Jan. 2!
