Games Played in 2023 Ranked
I guess Ill rank em as I go. Dont take the specific rankings too seriously, especially those at the top but not in the top 3 and those at the bottom, theyre pretty interchangeable and I could change my mind retroactively
165 Games
Timeless classic cooked up by Apple's own Steve Wozniak
Good stuff
Very ambitious, I think its the first game to have horizontal scrolling? Whatever the case it was definitely the one to popularize the concept
Controls have a learning curve, but classic
Lame, honestly
An Impressive attempt at a port, but I would much rather just play the arcade
Like when I watched Eraserhead : How boring for such a weird thing
This is absolutely insanely ambitious for Atari 2600 and disproves my intuition that no 2600 would be all that complex to require a guide. Insane. Also dope cover art
I love Imperialism!
Pretty cool, but kind of a mixed bag
Look, I'll probably play it again at some point, cause I quite liked the first few hours I played, but its so fucking buggy man. Like my ass got trapped at the explosion on the warehouse mission cause a door just wouldnt let me go through even though it was open? There was no way through, it showed a locked icon but the door was open and there were npcs shooting at me. Idk that just really soured me, and I didnt want to start that generally annoying mission all over again
Good vibes
A game too good for its own...good
Replay. Every time I play demon souls I love it and hate it even more than last time
Somehow, mowing down confederate soldiers with futuristic weaponry just isnt enough to compensate for the tedium and shittiness
Starts out as a mediocre uncharted clone with some verticality, then it starts to get sort of good but I despise the dogfighting controls and those are apparently the highlight of this game so fuck that
I simultaneously respect Kane And Lynch for what its trying to do, kinda, whilst also never wanting to put myself through 3 hours of dull cover shooting
Couldnt stick the landing unfortunately
Great stuff
Ok I guess
Charming and cozy
Golden Boy, Born To Love and Live For Joy, I'm a Golden Boy
At odds with itself
I saw a review describe Neon White as "Lovely Planet but worse and with anime stuff". I can now say that Lovely Planet is just Neon White but 300% more infuriating
What were they thinking?!
Its okay, but its length and almost hobbesian view of humanity just didnt sit right for me. It just feels closer to a zombie apocalypse and human suffering for its own sake rather than how wars of this kind actually go. idk
Admittedly only played for 2 hours but man, too much jank and not enough charm to help me get over that. It flopped on release and I am not surprised
Yeah, trash that record store!
Bleh
One day I will make "naturalistic" dialogue illegal
As we say in Spain : "pasó sin pena ni gloria"
Good speedrunning stuff but makes me too angry to keep playing
Cool
Idk, felt flat to me
Played it cause Jsawyer cited as the main inspiration for Pentiment but man I do not vibe with this at all. Unlikeable protagonist, awful dialogue and If I wanted to experience what it was like to be a fuckup returning home after dropping out to a town full of people whom I despise but cannot escape from, well the punchline is that that is already my life!
Stare out da window
Middling
Alas, most of this game's innovations were really taken from German Expressionist game design
Idk man in theory I like it but in practice I find the combat kinda annoying
Left a sour taste in my mouth, could have been good
Its a budget No Man's Sky, harmless if not too amazing
Really cool existential beat em up, very bold design decisions, which is to say 50/50 on whether or not youll enjoy or despise this game
Kicks Ass
get fucked
meh, mediocre doom clone. You get to punch neonazis and cops though
Adventure Game/Walk Sim about a cult, gripping
A very fun, tonal mess of a disaster sim
Cool but utterly draining
Just Boring honestly
Interactive Fiction piece about fictional disease in industrial environment
Lovely
Greedfall is a game that is almost good, its a damn crime they wasted such a cool setting on such a mid game, its just a witcher 3/dragon age/falloutNV done with a much smaller budget and not as interestingly.
im too impatient for this shit
So far my favourite pentiment inspiration game. A cool story about a found family which combines mundane interpersonal drama with supernatural magic stuff
Meh, cant be assed to play more than an hour. No souls like has impressed me thus far (other than actual souls obviously)
For all my gripes I still enjoy this game too much to put it any lower
Its fine... Basically an adventure game/vn set in a sort of choose your own adventure creation myth underwater. Its alright
Charming and funny, but gets old real fast and this is a long ass game. 10 hours was enough for me, thanks
Pretty cool but jesus christ if I am required to wall jump one more time I will uninstall the game when it comes out
Really enjoyed it, very clever
Thought it would be a shitpost but its surprisingly sincere. I can't really be mad
Where the hell do I even rank this? I liked it I guess but didnt rate it cause why
That sure is another purate warriors game!
Rough in places, but overall a smart engaging minimalistic sim.
Pretty cool diving sim
Sacrificing gameplay for story is all very well until your story is told through the lens of an unlikeable character and the bafflingly written dog companion.
Wow we are cool and edgy! Strikes cause capitalism amirite?! Shitty controls and tries way too hard to be umurangi.
I feel, conflicted about it
Mostly compelling, but let down by subpar translation, transparent branching and a shit ending
Replay. A stylish open world mystery
Its alright but so grindy and padded, I just cannot be assed
good
Fucking annoying fmv prick, die!
the definition of mid
amateurish
Again feels odd ranking this. It was a cool experiment
Quite like these Bitsy games. I like how even though the map loops, the yachts are on the "higher" area doing fine and the struggling people are on the "lower" area
Pretty cool game, reminds me of Deus Ex, unfortunately its strong first impression kind of dribbles away into slightly uninteresting stuff, it makes its most potent statements in the first hour.
I was halfway enjoying this stealth game (a rare thing for me) when I got softlocked by a bug.
He just like me fr
Replay, originally played the base edition. I dont quite like the farewell edition as much, but its still great
Addicting Urban fantasy jrpg. A bit samey and the plot is nothing but I like the combat and thats enough for me
Burns brighter but shorter than most pokemon games. 12 hours and I was done
Couple of gags
It was cool, a reverse detective game
worst game with lung in the title Ive played
Interesting idea, cringe execution
More like Demon Turd: Toilet Splash ha gottem
Im being pretty generous here. Beyond being based and the sheer funny novelty of "palestinian max payne" the original is undercooked and the remake is basically in early access. Thankfully you get both bundled into one for the same price but just bear in mind its quite rough around the edges. Fun though
whatever
I didnt rate this, and I kinda feel bad even ranking it, but I guess Ill put it here near the top
almost feel this game, but I guess not quite enough
Outstayed its welcome
Kino platformer/run and gun
Why did I play this?
