This game had me needing answers for all the mind fuckery it throws at you in the second act for the entire year. The fact this game was written, programmed, and all the art was drawn by one person is completely mind boggling to me. Never played a VN that has managed to make me fall in love with every single character and just want them to be safe and happy. Covers some pretty dark topics but is handled masterfully and the twists and foreshadowing done in this story are 10/10.

A game that truly challenges your logic and reasoning and make you feel like a real detective by taking notes of everything you find in crime scenes.

cute mindless fruit game.

Biggest disappointment of the year, wrote a 5,000 critique breaking down everything wrong with this game.

Pretty interesting story but felt too short and underutilized certain features.

A very safe but marvellous JRPG that you can sink 100 hours into.

Decent VN where you fall in love with alien boy.

monster porn.

Silly furry porn game that had 100 easy achievements.

Short escape room to play with a friend to practise communication skills.

Finale in the series and damn it didn't disappoint, some of the most fun puzzles in the series.

I generally don't remember anything about the story and also stupid puzzles.

Short VN but felt like a Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V of Virtues Last Reward.

sudoku but with kitties :D.

I love murdering people. Also the replayability of the game is insane. The story was unexpectedly really good as well.

Conclusion to the Crossbell and Cold Steel ark. Combat is even more broken, don't mind me making Emma into a magical nuke.

Pretty fun game that mixes Peggle and a rouge like.

good premise which can get philosophical but gets boring after your first run.

Second in the series and the story starts to get good and introduces a new mechanic to make it stand out.

The only Atelier game with a stroy but my god is everything about this game beautiful.

Introduces some amazing QoL features that make foraging even easier.

I did enjoy this Atelier game but ended up rushing it and not getting that deep into the alchemey, will defo need to return to it.

Amazing deck builder.

Probably the hardest game I played but damn does it have some amazing atmosphere.

Making more meth and bombs but now we also develop a village. Also tons of reoccurring characters appear to control again.

No story but cooking meth and making bombs is so much fun!

It's alright but got fucked over by lack of QoL features and also omfg use a guide or you are screwed.

Highly addictive rhythm game with 500+ songs to play.

The first in the series and it's really good but does imitate the room series a bit too much.

Really good puzzle game but had expectations a bit too high.

Crazy addictive but Jesus christ does it get difficult, also fuck you Monk!

The game is great but the ending felt super abrupt.

The second half of a complete mind breaking VN that makes you question everything.

Cute spooky ghost game for Halloween.

The first half of a complete mind breaking VN that makes you question everything.

Really great especially was the first to introduce the party formation, just wish the graphics were better.

One of the best Ys games, love the fighting just wish the OST was better.

Pretty cute and fun casual RPG but 100%ing is a nightmare.

A good Ys game but damn this has to be the hardest, also stupid fucking dash jump.

Old games were ruthless ;-;.

Still hard but there's magic but omfg I got lost even while using a guide
