One game down, nine more to go, we’ll be at the end before you know it! But before we get there we still have some amazing games to look at. We’re still looking Psychnoauts 2, we’re still looking for Disco Elysium and many others that are just as good. It’s time to find out what awaits us as #9…

If you like narrative games at all, this one’s a winner on just about every level.

I love how much personality radiates from each character.

Every twist and curve in the story completely took me by surprise.

It's pretty much 100% plot twists.

Every 10 minutes there's some other ridiculous twist you didn't see coming.

morallyobjected posted:

I can't count the number of times I thought I knew what was going on and the game just kept dropping more layers on me.

I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 instead. That was, all things considered, a colossal gently caress up.

Resident evil 8 has a scene where Ethan's hand get cut clean off and he picks up, pours peroxide on his stump, and sticks it back on and it WORKS and its the best dumbest moment of 2021.

There is no time for delay, my friends! Not when we lie so close to the end! I know your pace may be flagging but I ask you to work with me just a little bit longer. Here’s the game you voted in at #8!

The greatest version of the series thus far.

A very well-designed game.

The highlight for me is the level design.

I think there's also games that take GOTY awards, as several of the games I played this year were solely because goons gave them a good rating the year prior.

There is literally a part of the game that loops over and over until you get it right

There are multiple parts of the game that do this
