I bought my 76 year old dad Disco Elysium this Christmas to try and get him to play it cause I knew he'd enjoy the writing and I worry everyday he won't finish cause it's not his usual type of game and console controls are kind of clunky :ohdear:

Can you feel it, friends? Can you feel that knot in your stomach tighten up as your shoulders tense with every new game that hits our countdown? The 15 games we have remaining our the hottest of the hot releases from 2022 for sure and on a different day the order of their ranking could have been so different. But this is today and this is our ranking so who might it be next? We still haven’t spotted Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, we’re still waiting on Triangle Strategy and where is Horizon Forbidden West? Well none of them are your #15 but I know a game that is…

I did see a lot of people say that they got it but hadn't had a chance to play it in 2022, so I really hope it features high on 2023's list.
