And I'm done - Gorogoa was my other #1, a perfect new mechanism, serious but not too heavy subject matter, and doesn't outstay its welcome.

This was obv my number one, since it's pretty much the only game I play and the invasion meta-game is still very fun and interesting for me.
The DLC itself is great too, the last two bosses were good old-school challenges in terms of really having to learn their movesets & tells.

No one else voted for Cinco Paus?!?you all don’t know what you’re missing out on. Pay $5 and play 50 hours, all on your toilet. It’s the bargain of the 21st century

The Ringed City was a bit weaker than the Dark Souls 1/2 & Bloodborne DLC but was still pretty enjoyable, great end to the series

I loved the Dark Souls III DLC, both of them, but especially The Ringed City. It seemed to have more variety than ever as well as more unique enemies. The opening area with the tumbling castles is great and seeing one of the DS2 levels collapsed on its side was such a treat. Then there is that vast swamp navigating windy tree branches and horizontal castle towers. Then the cool sun dappled titular city which really feels like a Lost City. At the bottom of it all is another swamp, buildings sinking in the mud, patrolled by giant sorcerers, infested with bizarre insectoid goblins. And so much more! All in a single DLC that I played for at least 10 hours. Next to DS2’s (IMO the underground city was the only worthwhile bit) and DS1’s, I like DSIII’s most of all. Though Artorias will always be one of the best boss fights...

i finally got around to playing cuphead a few weeks ago, co-op with a friend. my hot take was that if you think you'll like it, you'll probably like it, and if you think you won't, you probably won't. it is exactly what it looks like. it's very punishing but very rewarding if you're into that. couldn't imagine doing it alone though. couch co-op was a blast.

Love Hollow Knight, would definitely recommend it to people who like Metroidvania's and the music and art manages to communicate a lot of that Dark Souls eerieness.
In the middle of Horizon at the moment, it's fun but i'm doing a terrible job of keeping up with story.

y'all will get the next post once i am done writing this effusive paragraph on Persona 5 fyi
― challops trap house (Will M.), Friday, 6 April 2018 18:50 (six years ago) link
i didn't spend as much time with horizon as i wanted before i had to return it to my brother but for as far as i got i was very into it and hope to pick up a (hopefully discounted) copy soon.
my game of the year, though, and i was pretty sure it would be before it even came out, was Persona 5. The last two iterations ended up existing in a weird space in my life where, for one reason or another, I was basically not doing anything for an extended amount of time (I think when I played Persona 3 Portable it was around xmas holidays in 2010, and I put in 70 hours in a week. Person 4 Golden, was around summer 2013, where I kinda had a dead-end job and no life and blasted through it on lunch breaks, after work etc.). This iteration was my Ultimate Form; I was unemployed, had enough money saved to basically do nothing for two weeks, which is exactly what I did. Persona games are perfect depression comfort food, in a way. When it's tough to feel much of anything, they're a rainbow spray of emotions for a hundred or so hours. The writing is a grab-bag of childish drivel and genuinely shockingly emotional moments. The "dungeoneering" aspect is by no means pioneering (although P5 may very well be the first of the three that IS), but it acts as excellent punctuation -- and counterpoint -- to a game that's pretty much about making friends, enduring hardship, and leaving your friends over a tumultuous year of school. During my extended unemployed stretch (during which I was newly single and newly without roommate for unrelated reasons, so, that is to say, INCREDIBLY ISOLATED) I powered through this and Mass Effect Andromeda. MEA left me feeling empty. Persona 5 left me wanting more.
