2023 First Time Plays Ranked

Alright. Thats it. Roll credits. Interesting year in life for me rebuilding myself into an adult man. Not so interesting in games. Katamari was the highlight fr fr. Started getting into some crpgs, game passed on a whim, more indie games which were often mid, and game passed around.

Heres about three sentences about every game i played for the first time this year. There are some games floating around that I started or continued this year that I didn't feel confident in writing on yet so those will show up in a future list. Have a good year folks!

You know as much as I'm interested in giving Kodaka a real shot, the scene where Shinigami just goes "I hate the poors" while Yuma just stands and listens like a true centrist shows me this shit is kinda rotten. There aren't a whole lot of positive traits here that make me want to defend this, the writing is not interesting enough for me to care. It's a pretty mediocre vn that has some real insipid moments

This should never have been a roguelike. I give lots of passes to proc gen stuff but as soon as I died fir the first time I felt a brief moment of that vitriolic hate some hold towards roguelikes. Never again.

You know, xbox gave me some points towards a free month of gamepass for killing two zombies in this. Was it worth it? I mean it's free money. Still hard to shake the trauma of reaching into the dregs of this medium.

Originally I was just gonna say I really don't like this game and leave it at that, it's certainly a game built with artificial tedium at its core, but then I learned the creator is an absolute chode. The game literally starts off with the dude being like "I hope you like what we made" in attempt to put the human creation element out in front but also underpaid his contract workers as well being a transphobe. This shit is horrendous, the worst auteur attempts I've ever seen.
