About this listen

 Welcome back and Happy New Year to all the Buttons out there. The Boys are back with a vengeance after their Christmas break. And what better way to kick things off than by looking back at how their Metacritic predictions went last year and looking ahead to pick their three most anticipated games (and backup) of 2026. From massive movie franchise tie-ins to indie arm-based adventures, we've got you covered. But before that, of course, we start with what the Boys have been playing over the festive season. Sarah eats humble bum with an apology, Pierre attempts to teach his nephews automotive physics and Glenn self-inflicts stress during the most relaxed time of the year. If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and our Hitman: World of Assassination playthrough, as well as a back catalogue of our Dark Souls playthrough.
