Oh, I played that! It was pre-released for download on Valentine's day iirc. It was very short, but aesthetically promising.
I'm enjoying this countdown btw. I only really play games on my phone (and board games) these days, but I should really put in a vote next year. Is there a minimum for voting?

no minimum for voting! you get 100 points to allocate and up to 30 for any individual game. if you vote for one game you can give it 30 points and be done!

our first ever board game! welcome to the rollout you weird dice-rolling luddites, WE LOVE YOU HERE
i couldn't finish the first pillars of eternity tho i did enjoy what i played. there's just so much text and most of it isn't great. they should borrow a page from alexis kennedy on how to write memorable scenes and dialogues without just drowning the reader in words.

oh that reminds me if i had played it in time i would've voted for Root - fantastic asymmetrical game w/ a woodland creatures theme for those of u who are really interested in the COIN games but find the topics too depressing.
if Gandhi comes out next year tho i'll prob vote for it if i can play it in time!
― Mordy, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 19:11 (five years ago) link
root is neat ive only played it once though and was the cats who seem like they play the most basic game. the birds mechanic looked really clever

The second instalment tries to address some of these issues, not always successfully, but isometric-style CRPGs are my nostalgic opium of choice so I go easy on the writing (which is still upper-tier shlock compared to the usual fare).

hmm i should put those "disappointment votes" above the images instead of below, easy to lose them

donut county had one disappointment vote, and NES switch had one.
i'll tell you what had more than one, though

I voted for Florence, a love story told via WarioWare-esque game mechanics. A cool little experience.

Take THAT, game I never intend to play!
― Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Wednesday, 17 April 2019 19:27 (five years ago) link
wow kinda shocked how low it came out
it's a game with a lot of problems but the stuff that's good about it i think mostly ends up being the takeaway: it's a gorgeous cowboy simulator

the wrinkle detail on the horse testicles got downgraded from the prerelease trailer footage and there was really no saving it from gamer dismissal after that

#11. Minit — 33 Points — 3 Voteshttps://i.imgur.com/HtpaGFK.png
this game managed to piss me off in the like one hour it takes to finish though i don't remember why now
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 19:39 (five years ago) link
i think i was just disappointed that it had changing respawn points which is the least clever way to lock in progress with the game's mechanic

Game of Overrated! (I still voted for it.)

does c&p permit the power move of voting for a game in the main poll and also most overrated?

#7. Yoku's Island Express — 52 Points — 5 Votes — 0.1 First Place Voteshttps://i.imgur.com/rQPC8lq.png
i picked up this one because i saw how high it ranked and played it for a bit. i felt a little lost fairly soon, and kinda fell off and started playing one of the other many little games i have on my switch. i guess i will go back to it but i don't see what the hype is all about yet! good idea tho
― they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boot Edge Edge" (Will M.), Wednesday, 17 April 2019 20:37 (five years ago) link
it's only 2 hours or so - so it doesn't wear out its welcome.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 20:39 (five years ago) link
it's longer than that maybe 5 hours if you just play to the credits

idk if that'll be a "controversial" (no matter how good it is, it's still just tetris!) one but, god, tetris effect is SO GOOD it approaches fuiud territory. it just feels good as helllllll
