The year is almost over and that can only mean it's time for the most august and respected award ceremony of the festive season: The Most Ideologically Correct Game of the Year 2025 award. You can count on the Red Barrels Podcast to objectively determine the most politically pure title of the last 12 months - though unfortunately it's such a forgone conclusion that we have no choice but to do the rest of the podcast anyway, including a dissection of the much more reactionary Keighleygasm Game Awards.
As a result, we talk games as usual, getting unexpectedly relevant in KOTOR and cutting a swathe through Hyrule Warriors. We also talk about the Horses controversy, BUT - most excitingly we also have an exclusive interview with Sara from No Games For Genocide to talk about their recently launched campaign to boycott Xbox. It's a bumper episode! I swear the next one will be shorter!
