it's a real murderer's row

Valkyrae seemed to be the most normal (major claim to fame was being the lipsync body for corpse husband in machine gun kelly's music video) but she was canceled this year for trying to shill a scam line of skincare products to "protect against blue light"

Shroud is the one to be least canceled mainly for being the most boring person alive

#41: Fantasian (GL 6, VAR 5, AD 8, SD 8, UI 8: 65 score)

90s = phenomenal
80s = great
70s = good
60s = fair
50s = mediocre
40s = poor
30s or lower = broken/unplayable

GL (3x) = Gameplay loop, VAR (3x) = Variety on offer, AD (2x) = art direction, SD = sound design, UI = interface)

I score the games to help find an initial placement for them, then make further adjustments based on personal feelings... so even though fantasian scores higher than games above it, it was by far my least favorite game this year because of how bad that second half was

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


2021 will forever be known as the Year of No Games but my outlook has improved somewhat now that I've played a Skyrim mod and this low-budget anime high school JRPG.

It helps that this wasn't actually made by Blizzard at all, but was a company outside of Activision/Blizzard that was later bought up by them when they were near finished.

AI would be better. The people on this used some built in blender tools that allowed them to update the polygons of a model with 5 minutes of work. It's kinda like opening an image in photoshop, then setting the resolution to 400%, and then saving it out. Minimal effort.
