This week on the Boss Rush Gamescast
Come for the food fight, stay for the Game Awards chaos. On this episode of the Boss Rush Gamescast, Patrick Klein is joined by Taylor and Stoy Jovic to break down The Game Awards nominees and dive into what they’ve been playing. The crew kicks things off with the ultimate Thanksgiving debate—what truly counts as a holiday side dish—settling the mac-and-cheese controversy and celebrating staples like mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy.
From there, they jump into chaotic shooter stories, retro throwbacks, challenging platformers, Metroidvanias, and emotional indie experiences. They critique Lost Soul Aside, praise Shinobi and Celeste-style precision, and celebrate finishing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza.
The team also deep-dives into this year’s award categories, discussing standout narratives, performances, music, and art direction—especially in Clear Obscur, Silent Hill F, and the ever-elusive Silksong.
Expect tangents on endings, horror sound design, indie philosophy, accessibility, community-driven titles, mobile games, and whether games can truly be considered art.
