The guy has been going at it all year long, every single day. I don’t know what were those old maths they were rambling about sales not being worht it before they went berzerk on that front, but I know 1/4 my yearly gaming budget went into their pockets.īest Daily Read: Chrono.gg’s daily sales pitch. If this is something people can relate to, I don’t understand: the depiction of a society constituted of nihilistic wise-asses with no contrary voices was chilly… as chilly as what I read when I end up reading somebody’s linked Twitter thread. Game that is going “wush” over my head so far: Night in the Woods. Game that I regret playing a decade too late: Bayonetta. It is a game rewarding our natural, human, curiosity. Labelling it as a puzzle game does this wonder a disservice: it isn’t a game about reverse-engineering some arbitrary contraption it isn’t a game for programmers in denial of their workaholic condition. Game that I regret playing a year too late: Stephen’s Sausage Roll.

Runner-up: Killerfish games for Cold Waters. That may be, but I’ll never know, because the user experience is just punishingly bad.ĭevs that keep on giving: the Trese Bros.īeen playing Templar Battleforce for over a year, spread over multiple little sessions: each time the game got significant upgrades, and during any session, they will improve little things here and there almost weekly. Not a new game this year (but who said they had to be?) I picked this up after being assured that it was a completely unique platforming experience. Unplayable Masterpiece Award: Yumi’s Odd Odyssey / Sayonara Yumihara Kawase. The music is as important a part of Persona franchise as the demons or the life simulation, and they delivered. Persona 5 returns to a more consistent soundscape, which really makes it feel more like a place, perhaps reflecting the relative monotony of urban life. While Persona 3 had a single theme that repeated in many variations across different scenes, Persona 4 had a much wider variety of music that spanned multiple genres. I’ve thought a lot of thoughts about Persona 5, and I haven’t even finished it, but I think the soundtrack is a stand out achievement.


The I Never Felt Like, So Miserable Lifetime Achievement Award for Best Game Music: Persona 5. I’m not sure the mechanics are really all there, but the story and characters are quite charming, and wacky anime-style themed cooking powers are always going to be entertaining to me.

That means I beat Hanekoma on top of New Pork City.īest Bug-Collecting and Grass Cutting Simulator for a 4-year old: Zelda, Breath of the Wild.īest Season of Food Wars Award: Battle Chef Brigade, a weird little match-3 / brawler mashup on the Switch. Since the awards themselves are made up, the criteria tend to be a little more complicated than just “best”, so help us out and give a line or two of explanation about each one.īest Game on Best Platform Ever Award: The World Ends With You, (the Nintendo DS / 3DS being the best plaform.) I revisited this early this year, wondering if it would hold up, and against all odds not only did hold up, but I 100%-ed it this time, which is something I never did the first time around. The only rule is: if you disagree with another poster, share that in the form of an award.Ī bit of a tradition that we sadly missed last year, it’s the totally made up awards. As imagined by (and carried on by and and now is the time of year when we can all gather and create our own awards for our favorite, least favorite, and random games!
