Top games of 2018: Twelfth Coint & Plick RESULTS

possibly the best 2d platformer ever but i don't like to vote for rereleases alas

OOOH, BANANA.

Snark aside, excited to be a part of C+P this year!

maybe i should rank my all time 2d platformers bc i'm pretty sure it's not the best ever but it's still excellent

another game that will be on this list is up there too

i don't think i'm as high on smb3/smw for GOATs as most people. yoshi's island though..

#51. Heartbeat — 5 Points — 1 Vote

that's my vote. this is a cute and well made rpgmaker game kind of in the vein of a undertale or early pokemon or earthbound. nothing super novel about it, it's just a lot better than what you come to expect out of rpgmaker stuff.

The Guides Axiom -- I'm the voter. It's a "guess the passcode" style riddle game. The main reasons I like it are that there are hidden puzzles, and that some puzzles require information from previous puzzles. It's a step above other games of its type. Con: it isn't finished -- it stops at around puzzle 70 out of 100.

The internet loves this game but this is only one of a handful of times that I've seen it mentioned on ILX.

monster hunter world is just a MMO in disguise you can't fool me i've been done with that shit for a decade and not going back

#51. Overcooked 2 — 5 Points — 1 Vote
https://i.imgur.com/QrY2WIR.png

should've given it some points as a proxy vote for my sister. Overcooked is good coop hangout time.

i bet that this game is a ton of fun if you can find other ppl to play w/ at a similar skill level to your own but the way i play it (w/ my kids) it's mostly just frustrating

tell your kids to git gud mordy

don't let them give you any guff about "having homework" or "being four"

"no wait why are you putting the chopped lettuce there we need it for the burger what are you doing oh no your soup is on fire well this is just a disaster 0 stars"

I voted for Overcooked. I love how rage-inducing it is when you suck, and how great it feels to perform well as a team ... if you git good.

#51. NGU Idle — 5 Points — 1 Vote

glad you're still here mordy to get mad at us for not playing this and voting for it on time

more like 9 point hospital

I voted for Monster Hunter World, it has cats that cook for you!

Am I the only ilger who rates theme hospital?

It’s basically the same game but new and made in 2019 fyi

Two Point is on my list but I still haven’t gotten to it

one of several jrpg series that i'm probably the only fan of here esp with lamp not around

made in 2019?! brb i gotta delete this entire thread and re-poll

#44. Battletech — 10 Points — 1 Vote

battling is improper use of tech imo

#44. Forza Horizon 4 — 10 Points — 1 Vote
https://i.imgur.com/baOBSfj.png

^ with soundtrack available on vinyl, released by hospital records!

it turns out the secret to making a fun open world game is the player is supposed to be a vehicle, not a human. i should fire this up again at some point, i never really exhausted it

ppl love battletech esp those nerds at three moves ahead but i haven't gotten to it yet

let's see if anyone wants to take credit for this one

we're all getting old.

they're the only realm where everyone's on the same page

fuck, hollow knight finished... 6th last year? how did i let that one slide? i hope the voters were all new voters. if not i tsk at you. TSK TSK TSK
2 years ago was a near-sweep of the top for indies. inside, dark souls 3, witness, stardew, salt & sanctuary. indies always do very well here, if not for borderlands, marvel puzzle quest, dark souls, and a couple of other cult classics over here it'd almost always be all indies!

also i forgot to post my own ballot.

YAKUZA 6: The Song of Life - 26
YAKUZA KIWAMI 2 - 25
Tetris Effect - 15
Spider-Man - 10
Hole.io - 4
Far Cry 5 - 4
Valkyria Chronicles 4 - 4
Red Dead Redemption 2 - 4
Into the Breach - 4
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee - 2
Octopath Traveler - 2

ty 4 playing everyone! see you next year! (or sooner if i run a summer/fall generations poll!)

i did think something was off about Hollow Knight, it makes sense since it didn't come to consoles until 2018

yeah it had a bigger hype cycle when it came out on switch than when the original pc version came out the previous year

also PCs are for powerpoint

dark souls 3 is indie?

Last year, I played the intro section of Hollow Knight on PC and I may have given it some points. I played the rest of the game on PS4 this year.
