Spec Ops is so damn good. I’ve been itching to replay it and see if it’s as good as I remember. It’s been so long.

Well the best overall for me has to be Disco Elysium. Game is just astounding. Tears at my heart. Pentiment is a close second. But my god was that one a bit more miserable. Recommend for anyone that enjoys a good story.

From purely a fun standpoint, Rollerdrome and Hi-Fi Rush were absolutely killer. Incredibly tight gameplay. Super satisfying to “get good” at. Rollerdrome was the first game I was motivated enough to 100%, it was that fun.

It’s kind of crazy looking back at how many games I got through in a year. Could’ve sworn I had played these years ago. What is time, even? 🫠

Hey, I just finished the Dishonored DLC this year! This game never comes to mind when I think of my favorite games, but when I actually think about it I love so much about it.

Mechanics are satisfying and smooth, art direction has a nice oil-painting style to it, world is simultaneously bleak and beautiful. I wish the story was more interesting but the gameplay more than makes up for it.

Dishonored 2 has been gorgeous so far. I don’t know if you’ve gotten to the mansion level yet, but oh man that environment is a trip. Has to be one of the coolest maps I’ve ever seen in a game.

I wanted to enjoy it, but man there were so many irritating bugs when I played last year. Progress lost multiple times. Disconnects from server. I’ve wanted co-op in Fallout for ages but this wasn’t it for me.

I don’t think it’ll grow on you as you play it more. It’s one of those games where you can kind of immediately tell whether you’ll like it or not.

I also think it’s pretty repetitive (not even different interiors for each moon) but I’ve been finding a lot of fun with the goofiness of it all. Playing with friends, laughing at each other’s demises, and screwing around with the funny gadgets you can buy is where all the fun is for me.
