Anyways! Yeah!

into a wall. Reminds me of the best part of Dead Island. Truck heaven. Also has my VG Song of the Year: youtu.be/lNbFdErTNVM?...

and that sums up the philosophy of this game perfectly. Just nailed the spirit of that sacred feeling so well. They should probably try bottling it raw and selling it at fairs, I'd take a dozen. Unbelievable fun just boosting into walls with the truck and flying through the sky or jamming yourself -

years ago when I was getting into Dungeons of Dredmor for the first time and I was gagging for more traditional roguelikes. But I found it. And I get it. Shiren rules.

Promise Mascot Agency. I think there's a quote of the director of this game mentioning that a 7/10 PS2 game can change your life -

(I could talk about why bump combat is so interesting to me for a texas minute) Also the music rules. Also the inclusion of actual Christianity and some of the weirder less explained stuff of the bible in a fantasy setting is real interesting.

Shiren 6. I wish I knew about this series like 12 -

Angeline Era. This game kinda came out of nowhere for me and I'm so glad I took a chance on it. When you can tell the game designer had a smile on their face making it, then that puts a smile on my face. Just the level design and the way the game plays with you is so fun, also BUMP COMBAT!!!!

through notes and puzzling the narrative together. Also looks REAL. like so real! Real good. Problem is they expect you to play the game all the way through a third time with very minimal changes to it. Even Nier Automata knew "woah okay no not doing that here's the sickest title drop of your life"

Also shout outs to,

Silent Hill f. Japanese girl in the 1960s beating the world to death with a metal pipe in a sailor uniform is a killer idea for an action horror game I'm glad the devs also understood that and really WENT with it. So many cool moments in this, had a wonderful time reading -

much i respect its commitment to making something stupidly fucking massive with a hundred endings and different writers coming up with several themed routes and lots of artwork for them. In a year that AI started to more visibly seep into game dev, it's awesome this came out as a human made MONOLITH

BUT I'M STILL GONNA give it to Hundo Line. That game has got some issues but god darn i'm such a sucker for danganronpa writing and tropey freaks it's written in my DNA i am bound to my lot. Super funny video-game with cool art and a LOT of ambition. Like I also just put this No. 1 because of how -
