There's just so many Poke-clones, I suppose it warrants an investigation if it's high on the Goons GOTY list tho!

Jossar posted:...I still have to go back and try Temtem again before I even think about poking at one of those. It's so friggin' charming, with its soundtrack, art style and just going around the islands was a relaxing time. The biggest thing holding it back in my opinion is how evolution relies on how many levels your monsters gained...adding new mons from the latter three islands kinda stinks for that reason. I put over 300 hours in early access, and I just got soured on it big-time when it hit 1.0 and they went into mtx immediately. Like, 15 dollars to get a mount that lets you avoid random encounters and move around faster, when normally you'd only get one near the end of the game. I really like the doubles battles format though, and PVP was enjoyable for what I played of it.

iTrust posted:The gameplay loop is deceptively simple but exists in a perfect balance so you’re never doing something for so long as it begins to overstay its welcome. You dive to catch fish to turn into sushi to make money so you can dive to catch fish. Then things become complicated by a fun and interesting plot. Also the guy who makes weapons for you has an anime body pillow. MikeRabsitch posted:One of the few games to make me laugh out loud at various points, it was well written with great character design tildes posted:Super fun combination of gameplay loops. Very chill and not super demanding, but still satisfying to progress through.  32. Dave the Diver (Mintrocket) (2023) 67 points. Voted for 18 times. Average of 3.7 The new Ridiculous Fishing.

Fifteen of Many posted:10. Spiritfarer (9 points, runner up) I cheated with a dual-7th place for Nioh 2 and FFOSOP since they're so similar and made by the same folks. Nioh 2 is harder and more mechanically complex but FFOSOP has that undeniable rizz.

Mysticblade posted:I liked the Titan quest, I liked the Team Star questline, I liked the Paldea dex a lot and I think the new mons make for one of the best generations we've had in a long time.

I'm really enjoying the list. So far it got me to add Misericorde to my wishlist. Also just pointing out a small mistake with The Void Rains Upon Her Heart appearing twice under the 17 points category. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the entries.

FireWorksWell posted:I went through some rough times around when I bought this game, and it really has helped me work through it. I have absolutely no idea what to expect next from this game, but one thing's for sure. A Sometimes Food posted:So let’s say an npc wants an item. You have it, but it's in a storage box. Need to run back for it right? Nah you can just pull from boxes to complete quests. Or build. It just gets rid of the obnoxious stuff and leaves in the friction and grinds that people actually like in these games. Snooze Cruise posted:This is on the other hand is charming and funny.
