Whoops! Genesis Noir is available on gamepass!

It's the end of another year in videogaming and oh what a year it's been - regardless of how well your 2021 has gone, there's one thing we can agree on, that there's been a bunch of great videogames in the last 12 months. Unfortunately, that also means that some otherwise great games have been overshadowed by bigger titles.

Luckily, The Architect has spent the last 365 days rummaging through every last videogame released this year and has come up with a definitive list not of the best games of the year, but of the games you should've played... but probably didn't - as well as where best to buy them during the holiday sales. Buckle up! There's some real gems in here.

Also, sorry for some audio glitches here and there - I couldn't upload a fixed version but they're only noticeable if you're insane like I am!
