look, all i'm saying is that A Short Hike is literally the most well designed game i have ever played

this was my #6 game of 2019, like it is the open-and-shut "the wholesome games movement is done because this game already did it perfectly"

although i should play that painting game i guess

Hades is weird because it's like objectively a very good well made game and I played it for maybe 50 or 60 hours this year but I have no desire to put it in my top 10

I tried to do that today and I really really underestimated demand. At 7 the line at my store ran so long they went around the building and into the street. In the rain no less. I should have gone at like 5 am.

Medals only weigh one down.

yeah for me Hades felt insanely good as i was playing it, but then i reached a point where i was like... yep, this is over now, i'm never touching it again. it WAS great but the GOTY bas to be a game i'll still be playing for years to come. like Skyrim

I never played Pyre because I never understood what it was and any time I looked at a stream it was just a creature that looked like it came from Monster Rancher doing VN stuff

It's kinda half VN, half magical sports RPG with shades of Valkyrie Profile (not the gameplay, but the story idea that doing well means you lose your friends one by one). Does pretty cool stuff with branching narrative, too.

Pyre isn't really like any other game I can think of, it sort of alternates between VN dialog segments and a real-time mode that can only be described as Wizard Basketball. If you get into the characters and their development it can be incredibly compelling and moving but if you aren't I could see how it would be hard to tell what if anything is actually happening

Harrow

I think one of the design goals for Pyre was to make a game with no "game over" state, but where the narrative can continue to make sense if you lose a "battle." They did this again with Hades just by making a roguelite with an immortal protagonist, but with Pyre, they did it by making the "battles" magical basketball matches instead of actual fights, and then using some light branching narrative stuff so that the story can just continue and continue to make sense even if you lose every single match.
