33 - The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa - 20 points / 2 Votes
Nintendo Switch (2019), PC/Mac (2018)

i voted for this because it is one of the coolest games i have ever played. it's just cool

like so much of this game is not fighting but kinda "rpg elements" but they all just feel like... waiting in a cool way? it's hard to describe without playing the game

anyway here's a well voted for write in

33 - Islanders - 20 points / 2 Votes
Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, Macintosh operating systems

xp most of the fun of anodyne 2 was in not knowing what it was and being repeatedly surprised at how it unfolded though! its one of those games

ringo ishikawa's been on my interest list but hadn't heard from anyone who'd actually played it, good to know its good

islanders isn't very deep but it is very charming and definitely worth a few hours of your time until it gets repetitive

i also voted for friends of ringo ishikawa. has a great atmosphere with lots of little details that add to the personality of its world. ringo read the russian classics between hunkering sessions with bros and smoking cigs on the dock, improved himself and believed in a path to a better life, if only for a moment before the weight of the world closed back in on him...

let's get this out of the way

32 - Marvel Puzzle Quest - 21 points / 2 Votes
If you don't know by now, keep it that way

offended it beat ringo by a point

have twice quit this game and currently on breakup (came up for briefly kitty pryde) as a nonsmoker i assume mpq is what kicking nicotine is like

came back briefly for kitty pryde*

Heh I really could've thrown some points at MPQ, for old time's sake.

btw i think i fixed all of the platform details per above -- if it's 2020/upcoming it's in parentheses and if it was pre-2019 it's just listed at the end

30 - The Outer Worlds - 22 points / 2 Votes
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows (Switch in 2020)

i would like to play this i think but maybe i'll wait for the switch release at this pt

it looked like a reskinned Fallout 4 to me, so i've been avoiding

it's by the obsidian guys iirc their stuff is generally high quality even tho the reviews seemed a bit middling

they did the superior new vegas

probably the writing is good at the v least

i took a sacred oath to never again play a game with millions of dialogue trees that don't really let me actually choose anything. i understand why these games are the way they are now, but i'm crossing my fingers for some sort of technological breakthrough that makes it feel more meaningful

i did like vegas, though!

xp

i can't forgive it for being released in the same year as another space game called the outer wilds with similarly colored cover art

i literally played it for 2-3 hours before realizing it wasn't the game my friend recommended to me (he had said READ NOTHING JUST PLAY IT so i didn't notice it was wrong... i had it on game pass tho at least)

that's an interesting idea, though. the outer worlds, but you have to start at the beginning every 2 to 3 hours

confession time i still haven't opened my copy of ring fit. apparently it's reselling for hundreds of dollars now too because the ring manufacturer got COVID'd...

i was having a great time with it until i threw out my back (unrelated) 6 weeks ago.

i came so close to buying one before they sold out everywhere, regrets

25 - Antimatter Dimensions - 25 points / 1 First-place vote / 1 Vote
Android, Browser

I voted for Outer Worlds and Outer Wilds. Outer Worlds is the first Fallout game I've liked, basically.

i just bought friends of ringo on your say so right now!

antimatter is another one of those fucking clicker games isn't it

grindstone is fun enough that when i got to level 97 and my game glitched and erased, i just started over and am still playing a few levels before bed every night

If I hadn’t failed to vote I would have thrown a ton of points at “Outer Worlds” an absolute joy to play, legitimately very very funny, visually stunning, and (I’m sure people complained about this) not excessively long.

25 - Void Bastards - 25 points / 1 First-place vote / 1 Vote
Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Macintosh operating systems

hey this game is great. off-beat sci-fi premise - roguelike w/ "permadeath" where subsequent convicts continue the scavenging for critical parts, ammo, food, fuel, etc fun AND funny i just wish bigger?

steam says i played 15 hours that sounds about right, probably a little shorter i did some of the optional post-game quests but it really is v fun and worth a play

If Void ever comes to Sony I will play it a lot I think

Antimatter dimensions is an idle game, yes. Not a lot of clicking though. The mobile version released last year made a lot of changes, including making the "idle game" (having the app closed) stronger.
