i think i threw octopath a tiny number of points. i liked the idea of it more than the execution, i'm afraid. i didn't ever finish it tho, perhaps i'll go back at some point.

octopath has a good rpg system and some cool story beats but the structure just doesn't work out. i still threw it some points since i like the moment to moment gameplay and the music a ton

Holedown was 2018’s only real good mobile time waster that I glommed on to and I got to the end too fast

if you did an 'unweighted' ballot it'd just be 10x10 so yeah
or 5x20 in the case of whoever voted for these
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 19:24 (five years ago) link
can confirm i received one 10x10 and one 5x20. also got a 40/30/30 that i edited to 30/29/29 to fit within the rules but that's neither here nor there

Yeah same, sure I played Wordament years ago, am I misremembering? Was I playing on PC or something?
Just bought Holedown, looks like a fun time!

That was my ballot, wordament which got a story mode (kind of, there’s no story but I dunno there are “worlds” and xp and levels)and waku waku sweets is fun make gestures to make foods I like food games a lot

I think NBA Playgrounds was a late cut for me. I love the game, but it's way too hard to unlock players without spending money.

― ciderpress, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 20:58 (five years ago) link
I voted for Katamari, first time the original game has ever had a UK release and it's almost as good as the second game, so much better than everything that came after those first two.

#23. Pathfinder: Kingmaker — 25 Points — 1 Votehttps://i.imgur.com/95vCksq.png
There it is (re: Gravity Rush 2). It has a few stretches of tedious/bad gameplay (boo to the stealth sections), the controls can be fussy, but the writing, design, and general ambiance are superb and all add up to some undeniable charm -- the nightclub sequence is such a delightful moment that outshined all of the other flaws of the game.
For a game that doesn't seem to have had a lot of support behind it, the localization is remarkably polished.

For the Baldur’s Gate/Icewind Dale/Neverwinter Nights nostalgics among us, Pathfinder: Kingmaker is worth your time (well, almost, as it’s exceedingly long).
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 21:33 (five years ago) link
i am the sole voter for kiwami 2! play it you poxy fules
they moved it to the engine from 6 instead of the engine from 0 (as kiwami 1 was), gave majima a (very short) side story mode that is quietly lovely (but also has him, uh, stabbing people like that, because majima), more of the minigames and weirdness you've grown to love. I have heard that Yakuza 2 is one of the less-loved ones in the series, which I guess has me pretty stoked for 3/4/5 because I thought it was great!!

i thought i voted odyssey but i guess it just missed my list. it's v open world what you'd expect from a late gen AC game lots of AC mechanics + lots of borrowed stuff from other games (FC series or the LOTR games w/ the nemesis system). it's v well polished but gets stale and exhausts its gameplay elements long before you're even close to finishing it. cool plot stuff includes questlines with famous greeks like sophocles + socrates. ultimately tho too iterative and too long and bloated to make my list.
slay the spire is a v clever deck building roguelike/rpgish game w/ enough new ideas and a unique enough aesthetic that it's definitely worth a look, esp if you like the genre. there are 3 different characters you can play each w/ entirely different deck components (tho there are colorless cards that are shared between decks normally w/ exceptional effects) and design. i think it's a really excellent game tbh, a little surprised it didn't get more notice on ilg. i think it's the kind of thing a lot of posters here would dig.
