tbh... the rules aren't SUPER clear, they're really wordy. Some bold might help?quote:1. Any game that you have played in 2023 is eligible. It could be a game from this year, it could be a game from the past, it could be a game from the future if you're some kind of time travelling god. It could be a gacha game, it could be a romhack, it could be a randomizer, it could be a mod, as long as you played it this year it's all good.

The "expansions / dlc are separate entries" was put in place to disperse the mmo votes.

If you can't quantify your enjoyment of a particular piece of art, have you truly enjoyed it?

10. The Roottrees are Dead (2023) “Check this game out”, said a goon in the chat thread. And check it out I did, and it rocked. A deductive game that combines Obra Dinn with Her Story, the goal is to identify the names, occupations, and appearances of the members of a very large family, using magazine articles, news clippings and book excerpts that you download off a 90s web search engine. It ate up a workday and a half, it was all I could think about. Just amazing work. I was a little disappointed by the AI art, though I understand why it was used (solo dev, for one thing) 9. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023) There’s no escaping it, TotK rules. It’s Breath of the Wild Plus, taking an already excellent game and making it more excellent. What impressed me the most in retrospect was the amount of trust the devs put in the player, you can skip their carefully designed puzzles with a rocket shield or minicopter and the game will say “Okay, that works too!”. That said, yeah ok I started skipping cutscenes because the story was so dull, but I still can’t deny that driving/flying around the massive underground layer on my dumb hot-air-balloon-glider was an experience unlike any other 8. Pokémon Scarlet (2022) It’s the best Pokémon game. But good God is it far from perfect. I could list the many tiny frustrations, but at the end of the day, it’s got an okay story, the open world works very well, and it’s a lot of fun in general. At the time of writing, the next DLC isn’t out yet (release date is December 14th), though that looks like it’s going to be “more of the same” so I don’t think it’ll affect Scarlet’s ranking on my list. 7. Theatrhythm Final Bar Line (2023) I don’t do rhythm games. But I do do RPGs. Having a party-building component really sold me on this game, and of course I like Final Fantasy music. Well, to be precise, I like 70% of Final Fantasy music, I really like 20% of Final Fantasy music, and the remaining 10% is kinda not to my taste (coincidentally, mostly FFXIII music). I was really happy that I could 100% the game without having to actually get good at it, since the optional “quests” can be done in the easiest difficulty or can be brute forced with the aforementioned party-building 6. Baldur’s Gate 3 (2023) I should point out a few caveats: I’m a BG1 & BG2 superfan. I replay those games about once a year. I’m also a big fan of Divinity: Original Sin and especially Divinity: Original Sin 2. And in my opinion, BG3 has a lot more in common with D:OS2 than with the earlier BGs, to the point where I can’t help but see it as a sequel to D:OS2, and not BG2. And that’s not a bad thing at all! Although the combat compares unfavourably to D:OS2’s (I much prefer the action point system to the Action/”Bonus Action” system), writing-wise it’s a step up, and although I haven’t finished the game yet, I’ve been having a lot of fun with it 5. Six Ages (2018) It makes you FEEL!!! like the leader of a clan of weakened magical ancient barbarians with very particular rituals and beliefs that has some complicated relationships with the neighbouring magical barbarian tribes. If the goal of art is to express an exact feeling, idea, mood, theory, then Six Ages is a perfect work of art. I look forward to getting into Six Ages 2: twelve ages in 2024, which, from what I’ve seen, accentuates the “weakened” part of “weakened magical ancient barbarians” so will take some adjusting, since I’m not used to numbers going down 4. The Case of the Golden Idol (2022) I like this more than the other popular deduction game, Obra Dinn, just because it doesn’t require physically moving an avatar around to look at stuff. Golden Idol gave me a ton of “ohhhhh” moments, which are more powerful versions than “ah ha” moments: moments when I discover on my own (that part is important) that an earlier small detail is, in fact, crucially vital to understanding the greater conspiracy at play. Also all of the DLC rules 3. Europa Universalis IV: Anbennar (2018) This game will always be on my list, in some form or another. Fan-made EU4 fantasy overhaul megamod that keeps adding interesting stories every couple of months, and offering unique gameplay challenges that the base game, being set on Earth, could never present 2. Europa Universalis IV (2013) This game will always be on my list, in some form or another. The reason it’s here alongside Anbennar is because, lately the (official) expansions have been excellent, a lot more focused on revamping existing nations and regions by adding unique mechanics and mission trees, instead of tacking on global systems that can sometimes be remarkably tedious and low-impact 1. Pentiment (2022) Alright, so I’ve played Europa Universalis for many years now, and it taught a fair bit about late medieval, early modern history. Mostly in Europe. I like that stuff, a lot. And Pentiment is all about that time period, presented with some of the most careful attention to detail I’ve ever seen. But that’s not why I love Pentiment, or at least not the main reason I love it. I love it because… It is so warm, so compassionate, so genuinely interested in the characters, all two hundred of them. It is beautiful. The story is a real page-turner, and in terms of video game-ness, it does some very interesting things with the visual novel format, and it even comments on games as a medium. Such a rich, and enriching, experience God bless you, Andreas
