It sounds rude.

Pocket Card Jockey = Game Freak's solitaire/horse-racing hybrid game for 3DS. play solitaire to propel your horse around the track, level up your horse, etc. unbelievably charming art style. costs like five bucks. many many hours of playtime. I endorse the absolute shit out of this game.

I mean, the real GOTY was the cumulative FPS super-experience of TF2, Doom, and Overwatch, but PCJ is a legit treasure.

Regarding the Winter Steam sale that just startedhttp://www.polygon.com/2016/12/22/14060214/best-new-steam-games-winter-saleI picked up Stardew Valley earlier this year and Doom over the holidays (haven't played either), any of these others (or anything else) worth picking up?

keepling bluetooth headphones charged is a pain (not airpods, just cheap ones), but so far i'm happier using them than i ever was with wired ones -- less tangles, i can put on my coat, bag etc without worrying about them, i can leave them dangling around my neck when not in use, etc.

@nhex: I sprung for Owlboy, Grim Dawn, and System Shock Enhanced (Steam Controller map = take my money). I almost pulled the trigger on Steep (sounds like the skate to 1080 Snowboarding's THPS), Farming Simulator 17, and EDF 4.1; both look rad as fuck but that's like $100 for all three.
to return to the subject of nominating potential C&P games, GOTTA PROTECTORS is goddamn good:

By no means perfect but as a weird free to play twist on a Souls/Roguelike game I had a lot of fun with it. Tons of charm and personality too.

Mordy: re Subnautica
I just started the game, so most of my experience of it is through streamers. Like other feted early-release first person survival games (Ark: Survival Evolved, Rust, The Forest, Empyrion), the basic gameplay loop is solid, but it remains up in the air whether it will be judged a "complete" aesthetic experience. Its environment (alien ocean) is unique, capturing the wonder and fear I'm familiar with from scuba diving.
