24. Crow Country
Another absolute gem from last year, Crow Country is an incredible take on the Survival Horror genre, the weird atmosphere and visuals are magnificent, the puzzles are downright terrific, and if you're not a fan of combat you can play in an exploration mode. It's a masterpiece.

Speaking of games I gotta finish, Demonschool is incredibly stylish, has some real fun characters, and turn-based combat that kinda feels like Into The Breach, but the music... my god the music!

To my fellow oldtaku:
It’s not that anime is worse overall now. There’s just so much being made at once that it’s harder to find the good stuff. It’s worth trying, though! Some of the best shows I’ve ever seen have been in the last five years!

This was previously Switch only, which sucked because I really didn't want it on that platform. So PS5 physical release is very good for me.
Easily my favorite game from last year, highly recommend this if you haven't played it yet.

Tigana is a beautiful, beautiful book. The world is well-thought, the themes are strong, and the prose is simply stunning at times. It caught me off guard how deeply I felt by the end. Still thinking about it weeks later. Strong recommend for anyone looking for fantasy that's more Rings than Thrones
