Disco Elysium for sure. The story enraptured me and the characters had so much depth
Yeah, enjoyed quite a few games this year, but nothing got into my head quite like DE. I hope so bad that we could expect some kind of follow-up to that masterpiece.
I played Inside recently. Sure games like RDR2 and Cyberpunk 2077 are great games but Inside deserves love too. I’m not trying to say it’s underrated as I read it received awards and is listed as one of the best games, I’m just raising awareness for it.
Diddy Kong Racing.
Nice. I started Ratchet & Clank on PCSX2 yesterday. Holy hell is that Emulator a work of art. The graphical options for the emu make that PS2 game still shine and the gameplay is lotsa fun. Sadly the libretro core for Retroarch/Emulationstation bugged out for me and was slow compared to standalone PCSX2.
Also I’m still puzzled how it’s possible there are so many retro-achievements for so many games. I looked up how to implement them and it’s really complicated. I totally underestimated how big the retro games scene still is. I really want to get into the netplay thing.
Definitely Jusant. It was just such a perfect game for me when I played it, chill but engaging in exactly the way I needed it, and something about the story just went straight into my heart unlike any other!
I’ve only got a little bit into the game so far and man everything about the game just hits home. If it were just a bit bigger or more freeform it might have been my favorite. I love the weird but recognizable world! Reading letters that sound like they could be straight out of our future hit really well.
Unfortunately it trails a bit behind Seasons A Letter To The Future for me though because it’s less open.
In the last 10 years I have only played 5 games… Yeah, I’m a creature of habit with a potato PC. Portal 2 and Skyrim are the only ones I’ve played this year. Even though I play Skyrim more, I can’t get enough of the characters in Portal 2 so that’s my choice.
