Recall: Episode 14 – 2020 Year in Review
2021 Expectations
Omer: I just want Baldur’s gate III to come out of early access and diablo 4 to be out on Stadia (wouldn’t bet on the latter but one can hope). UBI+?, Lost Ark
Aviv: Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, Hitman 3, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
Favourite Games of the Past Year
Omer (that are not League of Legends)
Inscryption – PC
Chivalry II – PC
Probably the most mindless fun game I played. Great soundtrack

Most surprising game of the year, just…special and weird
