I feel bad that I stalled out on Dishonored 2. It's really fun once you get into a level and pick it apart, but starting a new one can be kinda overwhelming with the amount of secret runes and paths to figure out. Gotta get back to that someday.

i voted for RimWorld as well - there was a bit of a learning curve to it, and just as i was getting a handle on everything the difficulty ramped up as the invasions became more powerful and i wasn't quite prepared to fight back. it's a lot of fun though, and i imagine there are people who installed RimWorld a year ago who are still just as obsessed with it right now

in a lot of ways it feels like a more playable dwarf fortress to me, which is v v v v high praise!

i voted for last guardian. at the time of my vote, i had just started playing the day before and was still enthralled. it would still make my ballot now, i think, but maybe with only 5 points instead of 10. the main attraction - Trico the dog bird dragon beast - is very well done. it is genuinely fun to just fuck around in a room, crawling around on Trico, petting it, watching Trico pace around the room, looking for food for Trico. it helps that Trico is very similar to my own dog, Bird. very similar mannerisms.
but the actual puzzles - not so much fun. and the controls are a goddamn shame. it's too bad, because the rest of the game is so well done.

I got addicted to Mini Metro earlier this year, but then made the mistake of updating to ios 8.21 which hasn't been jailbroken and couldn't play all my leeched stuff anymore. As excellent as it is, you do reach a tipping point from whence it becomes near impossible to progress for longer.

just a curiosity imo - you really wouldn't know anything was up without looking under the hood.
nb i'm feeling protective of dwarf fortress which i think is a far superior game but rimworld was good for some lolz i liked making a freezer.
― Mordy, Thursday, 20 April 2017 17:03 (six years ago) link
yeah i didn't know about the rimworld controversy, either. many, many videogames have glaring problems with sexism and gender roles, of course, but i suppose games that simulate aspects of human relationships are different because you can actually addresses sexuality in the code. makes me wonder how games like The Sims evolved over the years.

also the watch dogs vote was me. i really had a great time with it. yeah it has a lot of "attitude" but i did appreciate how A) tonally consistent the whole thing was (even if it was puerile, it's rare to see a playyground game feel so... well-curated?) and the city is great (even if it's just based on sf) and has actually engaging content (looking at you, almost evry other open world game)

Sorry I didn't vote, but I seriously only played maybe 2-3 2016 games. Now that PS3 is almost dead and Vita is slowly slipping away (although it did just get a Salt & Sanctuary port), I'd guess I'm pretty much tapping out of contemporaneous C+P polls for the foreseeable future.

30 /// The Witness i think i have raved enough. i love this game, which is so much more than just solving a series of line puzzles on panels.15 /// Stardew Valleya slightly different spin on harvest moon. that's all i wanted, and it delivers! i heard a rumor about local multiplayer coming at some point and i really hope it's true.10 /// Salt & Sanctuarydark souls + castlevania. tbh i'm more excited about a S&S sequel than a proper souls sequel.10 /// RimWorldhigher learning curve than you'd think, but it's not terribly cumbersome to learn. just takes a bit of effort.10 /// The Last Guardiani mentioned this upthread. ultimately disappointing despite nailing the dogdragon dynamic.10 /// Imbroglioit feels like this came out ages ago. i would esp. recommend this game for people who enjoy building custom decks and optimization. i don't, but the default settings were enough to provide plenty of puzzle fun for quite a while.5 /// Insideit was really good. not best game of 2016 good.5 /// Dragon Quest Builderslighthearted minecraft style sandbox but with a nice set of structured goals.5 /// EDF 4.1only for local co-op purposes. this game is ridiculously stupid, relentlessly so. and all the levels start to blend together after a while. but man, when you are sitting there on the same couch desperately trying to fend off waves of giant ants it is sooooo much fun.
