Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.

Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.

An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.

We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

you had me in the first half i'm ngl LMFAOOOOO i was about to say

I'm going back through my lists to update them, so I'll comment again, but so far, I have a question about the SGG list. Should Ristar count as a duplicate (like SoR2 or Sonic Chaos), or is it a unique game, as you said in the video? Sylvan Tale would be next up.

As someone who's kept up with every video so far to compile them on @backloggd.com, I think it's a great change that gives more variety and definitely gives underrated systems like the Saturn and Game Gear a more balanced look at their libraries, rather than relying on the few games people do know.

anyway, just for fun, I decided to split the full list into 2015–2019 and 2010–2014

(This is not actual graphic media. Bluesky doesn't have spoiler tagging)

please be either 11-20 make it or repeat entries move up the next game on the list (for example, Terarria, Disco Elysium, and Deltarune: Chapter 1 would qualify for the final list since Minecraft, Ori, and Cuphead already made it on XBO)

mfw tom nook charges me for fuel

Great video! I'm working on a list of the video on @backloggd.com as usual and noticed game #48 (or a tie for #47) is missing, as Persona 5 Royal is #47 and Super Mario RPG is #49; do you know what that game would be? Thanks!
