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

Hades
Hades
Its alright but so grindy and padded, I just cannot be assed
If: Walls Could Answer
If: Walls Could Answer
regrettably mid puzzler, pretty artstyle but pretentious as all hell
J-Town: A Visual Novel
J-Town: A Visual Novel
Its just a PSA basically, a bit corny but inoffensive
Outcast 1.1
Outcast 1.1
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
Outer Wilds
Outer Wilds
Cool but utterly draining
Oxenfree
Oxenfree
As we say in Spain : "pasó sin pena ni gloria"
Red Tape
Red Tape
Its a comedy game that didnt make me laugh
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
Season: A Letter to the Future
Season: A Letter to the Future
Wooden acting, overexplains everything
Shape of Mind
Shape of Mind
Idk maybe I am dumb but after a couple halos I just felt kinda frustrated by the process of building new ones

Just Boring honestly
The Sexy Brutale

Certified Kusoge
Cloudpunk

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.
Darkest of Days
Darkest of Days
Somehow, mowing down confederate soldiers with futuristic weaponry just isnt enough to compensate for the tedium and shittiness
Forza Polpo
Forza Polpo
Almost good, but far too aggravating
Frank and Drake
Frank and Drake
get fucked
Haiku, the Robot
Haiku, the Robot
whatever
Lovely Planet
Lovely Planet
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
Mohism
Mohism
A short game I wish was shorter
Night in the Woods
Night in the Woods
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!
Once Again
Once Again
Trite, forced and manipulative
Ou
Ou
Great first impression, shame about the rest of the game
Shio

Left a sour taste in my mouth, could have been good

At odds with itself
That Which Gave Chase

Like Frog detective but bad

I was halfway enjoying this stealth game (a rare thing for me) when I got softlocked by a bug.

Interesting idea, cringe execution
Be A Rock
Be A Rock
low effort
Dark Void
Dark Void
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
How to Cope with Boredom and Loneliness

bleh
In Stars and Time
In Stars and Time
Massively disappointing given the prologue
Iron Lung
Iron Lung
worst game with lung in the title Ive played
The Exit 8
The Exit 8
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
Abstract Driver
Abstract Driver
low effort, might have been good if it leaned into its hypnotic quality but its just unfinished. Only cost me like less than a dollar so whatever
Demon Turf: Neon Splash
Demon Turf: Neon Splash
More like Demon Turd: Toilet Splash ha gottem
Zanki Zero: Last Beginning
Zanki Zero: Last Beginning

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

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
