Gimmick Awards 2022 – Biggest Disappointment Podcast

Scanline Talks

Games are really hard to make. Simply getting one out the door is always an achievement, something to be proud of. And these awards started as a celebration purely of games, though they've elevated to being one of more types of media. But we can't be all smiles. Sometimes choices are made with games that are just... disappointing, you know? We get our hopes up, and seeing them be destroyed stings. And so despite everything, we need to talk about the Biggest Disappointment of 2022.

Our last award for the week is Friday, with Best Movelist- a category celebrating the sets of options various action games give their characters. It's a little hard to describe, but it's one of our favorites to record every year. After that, we'll be back next Monday for another week of Awards!

Here's the write-up for our winners!
