The 2021 Game of the Year Spectacular

The time has come once again to review the entire year of video game releases with Into the Aether's 2021 Game of the Year Spectacular! This year, Brendon and Stephen traveled to Philadelphia to record in-person alongside producer and guest AJ and a roaring virtual yule log on a very large television. After presenting each individual top ten list, they decide upon the official Into the Aether Top Five of 2021. From all of us at ITA, we hope you have a wonderful 2022! We love you, thank you for listening to and supporting the show and for being part of such a wonderful corner of the internet! As this is our biggest episode of the year, every year, we'd kindly ask that you share it with a friend if possible. That would be so cool of you.
