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

The First 15/20 hours of this game would be on my top3 of the year, regrettably the game continues past this point
Its alright but so grindy and padded, I just cannot be assed
For all my gripes I still enjoy this game too much to put it any lower
Banger game, an accessible take on the rhythm + action hybrid
Cool but utterly draining
Burns brighter but shorter than most pokemon games. 12 hours and I was done
Charming and funny, but gets old real fast and this is a long ass game. 10 hours was enough for me, thanks
Outstayed its welcome
Idk man in theory I like it but in practice I find the combat kinda annoying
Its the 1st of February and this might already be my GOTY
Replay. Every time I play demon souls I love it and hate it even more than last time
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!
Great stuff
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.
wonderful climbing sim
Idk, felt flat to me
A game too good for its own...good
might try again sometime, I think Im just too stupid for this game, it made me sad very quickly.
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
Pretty good adv game, even if it falls off a bit
Couldnt stick the landing unfortunately
the definition of mid
As we say in Spain : "pasó sin pena ni gloria"
worst game with lung in the title Ive played
Its pretty good, but padded and didnt really strike much of a chord with me personally
Pretty cool, but kind of a mixed bag
Massively disappointing given the prologue
If my adhd meds' dosage hadn't lost their effect, I might have had enough patience to endure this bullshit. Skill issue Im sure, but I just dont care
Replay. A stylish open world mystery
It was cool, a reverse detective game
I didnt rate this, and I kinda feel bad even ranking it, but I guess Ill put it here near the top
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
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
Wooden acting, overexplains everything
Wow we are cool and edgy! Strikes cause capitalism amirite?! Shitty controls and tries way too hard to be umurangi.
Replay, originally played the base edition. I dont quite like the farewell edition as much, but its still great
Kind of cool
Good stuff
Normalize games with a cool core mechanic being over and done with in an hour or two
That sure is another purate warriors game!
At odds with itself
An okay enough adventure game, a shame it didnt live up to its potential
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
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
Whats the VN equivalent of page turner? Dialogue Box Clicker?
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.
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.
So far my favourite pentiment inspiration game. A cool story about a found family which combines mundane interpersonal drama with supernatural magic stuff
One day I will make "naturalistic" dialogue illegal
Meh, cant be assed to play more than an hour. No souls like has impressed me thus far (other than actual souls obviously)
Good speedrunning stuff but makes me too angry to keep playing
Great character focused farm sim
Really enjoyed it, very clever
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
A very fun, tonal mess of a disaster sim
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
I liked Ringo a lot better

Tet

Funny short wario ware like thing about cooking dinner for vietnamese new year
Timeless classic cooked up by Apple's own Steve Wozniak
Rough in places, but overall a smart engaging minimalistic sim.
Short, sweet and kind of freaky
Cool but outstays its welcome
meh, mediocre doom clone. You get to punch neonazis and cops though
Pretty cool but jesus christ if I am required to wall jump one more time I will uninstall the game when it comes out
Kino platformer/run and gun
Alas, most of this game's innovations were really taken from German Expressionist game design
Somehow, mowing down confederate soldiers with futuristic weaponry just isnt enough to compensate for the tedium and shittiness
Its good but man does the difficulty spike
Yeah, trash that record store!
A charming, energetic adventure game adaptation of the boris vian novel of the same name
Interactive Fiction piece about fictional disease in industrial environment
More like Demon Turd: Toilet Splash ha gottem
I feel, conflicted about it
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
Trite, forced and manipulative
Pretty Cool 3D Platformer, if you like the grinding sections in 3D sonic games this is probably the game for you. Short and cheap
Adventure Game/Walk Sim about a cult, gripping

Ou

Great first impression, shame about the rest of the game
Good vibes
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
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
Lovely, charming, funny and short
Where the hell do I even rank this? I liked it I guess but didnt rate it cause why
Cool little historical sewing sim
