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

Orbo's Odyssey

Sagebrush
Sagebrush
Adventure Game/Walk Sim about a cult, gripping
Sagres
Sagres
Its so disappointing man, starts off as a cute little historical sailing RPG but it just cant sustain itself, the game becomes grindy and shit and the questionable portrayals get more egregious
Sakuya Izayoi Gives You Advice and Dabs
Sakuya Izayoi Gives You Advice and Dabs

Sapphire Lung

Interactive Fiction piece about fictional disease in industrial environment

Lovely
Skator Gator 3D
Skator Gator 3D
Pretty Cool 3D Platformer, if you like the grinding sections in 3D sonic games this is probably the game for you. Short and cheap
Sludge Life
Sludge Life
Wow we are cool and edgy! Strikes cause capitalism amirite?! Shitty controls and tries way too hard to be umurangi.
Solaris
Solaris
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
The Solitaire Conspiracy
The Solitaire Conspiracy
Fucking annoying fmv prick, die!
Soulvars
Soulvars
Addicting Urban fantasy jrpg. A bit samey and the plot is nothing but I like the combat and thats enough for me

Thirty Flights of Loving
Ok I guess
This War of Mine
This War of Mine
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
To Hell With the Ugly
To Hell With the Ugly
A charming, energetic adventure game adaptation of the boris vian novel of the same name
Torus Trooper
Torus Trooper

Cool but outstays its welcome
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
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
Vanquish

The Vigilant Villa
The Vigilant Villa
Mostly compelling, but let down by subpar translation, transparent branching and a shit ending
Wayward Strand
Wayward Strand
Lovely narrative adventure game about helping out at a geriatric wing of a hospital. The mundaneity, humanity and independence of these characters from the player are wonderful to see
