Rob Zacny Posted January 15, 2022 Three Moves Ahead 548: 2021 Recap Troy and Len are joined by PCGamesN's Ian Boudreau and Fanbyte's Mike Williams to look back on a year that's a bit hard to summarize. Why can't we find a theme to slap on 2021? What were some of the biggest surprises, good and bad? And what were our favorite strategy games in what was, if nothing else, kind of a weird year for them? Lots of games I forgot to write down while I was editing it Listen on the Episode Page Listen on Soundcloud Listen in iTunes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinan Posted January 16, 2022 Is it just me or have the recent episodes been mixed at a fairly low volume? I like to listen while I walk to work and I have the volume turned up to max and if a car drives by I can't hear anything. Or maybe my earbuds are getting old.

Malkael Posted January 18, 2022 There has been a distinct lack of 3MA episodes on transportation focused "tycoon" games for a few years despite the releases of games such as Railway Empire, Railroad Corporation, Transport Fever 1 & 2, Mashinky (Early Access), etc. So, who knows if any 3MA panelists are even interested in the genre these days. But 2021 was a good-to-great year for transportation focused "tycoon" games with Voxel Tycoon and A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism. Even if you want to exclude Voxel Tycoon for being an Early Access release, the year was still well worth it on Switch and PC for A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism in my opinion. At this rate someone is going to have try organising a Tom Chick reunion so we can finally have some transport games discussed again, since Tom included A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism within his Top 10 games of 2021 list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
