The State of Gaming December 2021: Halo Infinite, Chorus, Final Fantasy 7 PC, Big Brain Academy, The Matrix, NPD, and Sonic 2

It’s The State of Gaming Podcast, Popzara’s in-depth look at what’s shaking up the gaming landscape featuring hosts Cory Galliher and Nate Evans guide you through the best, worst, and everything else making headlines and headway in the world of interactive entertainment.

While many of the year’s biggest heavy-hitters debuted last month, December is no slouch when it comes to blockbusters either. Chief among them (pun intended) is Microsoft’s Halo Infinite, which unleashes its single-player campaign to help finish the fight the free-to-play multiplayer started.

The hits keep coming as Deep Silver makes space sims fashionable again with their intergalactic shooter Chorus, Square Enix goes triple-dipping with their remake/reimagining of Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade for the PC, Nintendo wants to train your brain further with Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain. Yacht Club Games brings their adorably pixelated hero to a new dimension with Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon and Ubisoft proves the content will never end for their latest Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarok.
