It's the kind of game that I want to share with people, in the hopes that they'll love it and continue to share it.

I have incredible respect for a game that's willing to say "this is what I want to be, get on board".

Pentiment is doing insanely well for being what it is on top of releasing like 2 weeks before voting started

yeah i really prefer tristrat's toolbox style to what FFT and TO does. i like customization too but all your units still have to unique like in troubleshooter or something to have me on board. i say this but i am also the only person who put symphony of war in their top 10 which is closer to the FFT or Orge variety...

ChrisBTY posted:

10) Fortnite
9) Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song
8) Xenoblade Chronicles 3
7) Horizon: Forbidden West
6) Potionomics

5) Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga So apparently Dancing Dragon games decided that the world finally needed a spiritual successor to Ogre Battle, But with Fire Emblems map navigation. This could definitely be seen as a definite improvement over the somewhat odd RTS maps of the original games. Some would say the game was a little too easy, which is fair though I like my games a little on the easy side. Many have said the plot was traditional fantasy plodder and mid at best. Agreed, but frankly after Triangle Strategy (A game I had high hopes for that really turned out to be everything I didn't want in an SRPG) I was down for some lighter fare.

4) Legends of Runeterra:
3) Pokemon Scarlet/Violet:
2)Pokemon Legends: Arceus:
1)Elden Ring

Manoueverable posted:

Yeah this vote is heavily skewed by the number of lists I saw that were PC only that had all 3 games in some permutation.

Regy Rusty posted:

I don't think I would like Vampire Survivors but if it really does make it to 2nd place I will try it

Yeah that's right not even 3rd is good enough for me

Don’t criticise Giant Bomb you will trigger the insufferables
