splitting ios and android just feels meaningless, like, what's the significant difference? anyone who votes for one or the other is just voting for what device they have, not the relative quality of one or the other. "steam" is there because simply putting "computer" feels too broad, and maybe someone wants to nominate e.g. humble Monthly or GOG.com or Origin (lol) instead?

Last year we had over 170 nominations, and we're only at 87 now, so might be less? but also every year less people have nominated and voted in coint and plick so it might be a function of that :(
im definitely gonna check out doki doki literature club some time soon, that sounds weiiiird and cool

I mean once everything I played on Switch is nominated that basically covers what I can vote for. It’s a shame if there’s less diverse types of games on our list I guess but I for one have had no enthusiasm for desktop gaming in ages and very little for phones.

i kinda feel like there's an ebb and flow to game 'diversity' - like years like this where almost anyone who wants one already has a Big 3 Console. when the ps5 comes out and there's a split in the market and people are looking to mobile and computer for stuff to play while they wait for the next gen to get "worth it" and get jaded with their "old gen" console, that's when the quality weirdness starts cropping up!

yeah, that's a good point.

Bubsy is so cool, you start in an art museum, looking at minimalist art, then it just goes completely off the rails. it is by the anarchic design team Arcane Kids, who previously made the cool and utterly bizarre Sonic Dreams Collection

was that last year? man it was so weird and great
― flippy bard (Will M.), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 18:10 (six years ago) link
I bought a lot of Steam games the past three months, but on closer inspection I don't think many are from last year. None really worth nomming anyway.

xp originally 2013. didn't realise they'd updated it, is up there with frog fractions.

is the remastering significant enough to put it on the poll again?

surprised nobody's nom'd the new Ys game; I haven't played it (waiting to get it on Switch later this year) but I've heard nothing but effusive praise about it
― The Troops™ (jamescobo), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 17:15 (six years ago) link
i heard the localization was so bad on initial release that they redid the entire thing recently including voice acting, so i think a lot of ppl held off on playing it because of that.
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 17:58 (six years ago) link
also the pc version got delayed and didn't make it out in 2017 so it's more of a 2018 game unless you were an impatient ps4 haver

Haha wow this nomination list is basically a long list of PSVR games I've bought and not yet played. There were about 50 others released in 2017 too, most of which I've not even heard of but some may well be worth a nom.
