Yearbook Vol. 3

March 5, 2026 · 1 h 46 min

Show notes

We're closing the book on year three of No Small Games. In many ways, this has been the year of MORE for us and the podcast. We expanded the number of articles and reviews we publish on the website, grew our Patreon offerings and community, and we got to guest on so many other wonderful shows. Similarly, 2025 was also the year of more for the indie games space, with an incredible (and overwhelming) volume of stellar games. We just can't wait to see what year 4 and 2026 have in store for us and indie gamers!
In addition to giving a recap of all of the games covered this past year, in Yearbook Vol. 3 we reveal our picks for their Top 5 games from the 2025-2026 year, and the fan favorite episodes voted on by YOU! Featuring superlatives and thank you's to No Small Games supporters, this episode is a tribute to all of you and all of these impactful indie games and game developers highlighted in the third year of the show! We are so grateful to all of you who have tuned in this year, and can't wait to bring you more indie game content in the years to come!
