You can't expect the same games to keep ranking every year with no new content!

Look, if Final Fantasy IX can reach the top 75 in 2022 then a 3 year old deckbuilder should.

But I don't really care. I'm looking forward to seeing where Ace Attorney appears since I didn't see it in the lower ranks.

bopbop thinks the points are distributed equitably to each game because he is a communist. he doesn't realise that the strong survive regardless of the common chaff at the bottom.

This is true tho, Mazovian socioeconomics, communism, whatever u wanna call it.

Ah, that is so much better. Welcome back, my darlings! And let�s give VG a round of applause! Didn�t he do good?

I do hope our time apart has not been too inconvenient for you. I know how excited you are to see the rest of these results, as you well should be. But before we continue any further I think it is only fair to take one moment to look back on the road we have travelled so far. Here are your #s 51-75:

75. Marvel�s Guardians of the Galaxy (Eidos-Montreal)
74. Super Robot Wars 30 (Banpresto)
73. Desperadoes III (Mimimi)
72. Final Fantasy IX (Square Enix)
71. Chicory: A Colorful Tale (Finji)
70. Rimworld (Ludeon)
69. Everhood (Foreign Gnomes)
68. Baba is You (Arvi Teikari)
67. Doom Eternal (id)
66. Dyson Sphere Program (Youthcat)
65. Blasphemous (The Game Kitchen)
64. SaGa Frontier Remastered (Square Enix)
63. Monster Train (Shiny Shoe)
62. Anodyne 2: Return to Dust (Analgesic)
61. Subnautica: Below Zero (Unknown Worlds)
60. Bloodborne (FromSoft)
59. Mass Effect 3 (BioWare)
58. Wildermyth (Worldwalker)
57. Divinity: Original Sin II (Larian)
56. Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers (SquareEnix)
55. Blue Reflection: Second Light (Gust)
54. Dark Souls III (FromSoft)
53. The Last of Us Part II (Naughty Dog)
52. It Takes Two (Hazelight)
51. Demon�s Souls (Bluepoint)

Which brings us on to our #50. But before I reveal that I�m going to give everyone a few minutes to get back from the bar so don�t go anywhere. We have 50 games to get through and once we start we�ll be going all the way through to the end. We�ll be back before you know it�

All right, my friends, it is time to go go go! We still have so many games to get through before I can reveal your Game of the Year so without any further ado let�s get straight to your #50!

Sakurazuka: Jan 24, 2004; NANI?

Since there nothing I really want out before the end of Feb I'll probably get True Colours, though I think the sale on it just ended. Been on sale more times than off so I'm not too concerned though lol

I fell off Life is Strange after the first one's bad ending and haven't kept track since. But I guess this latest one is good huh?

49. STARDEW VALLEY

Stardew Valley continues to shine as it not only ranks in our countdown for the third year running but also achieves its highest ever position! Not bad for a game made by just one person!

this is correct, though LIS1 is still tied for my favourite. Deck Nine really overtook Dontnod though, in terms of consistent quality.

It's been kind of a miracle that Deck Nine totally "gets" what Life is Strange is about, there are so many ways in which another developer would fail to understand the assignment.
