It’s my game.
1
Life-changing, game-changing, truly special work of art that never leaves me
2
Refines all the strengths of the original game and the adds some brilliant ideas on top that mine hidden veins of replayability out of a game that already begged me to play through it upwards of 10 times. About as good as a video game can feel.
4
People will lament the "casualification" of Monster Hunter, but this dropped when we were all still spending so much of our time indoors and it gave me a way to share the beauty of Monster Hunter with new people. Unmatched co-op fun.
5
Hard to confidently speak on a work-in-progress, but still stands out as a standalone work.
6
Just a great Metroid game.
8
Porting perfection. Makes Quake into an altogether more pleasant experience in the ways it should be pleasant. Still thoroughly nauseating and creepy otherwise, and the new lighting and graphics and all that stuff plays a huge role.
Dimension of the Machine is a superb love-letter to fan modding and the power of idTech2.

9
Fantastic art piece that should be lauded and condemned in equal measure for making you feel physically sick while playing it
10
The character, the stage, the tunes and the trailer were all so fuckin good man
11
These two games working in tandem essentially converted/trained my gf on 3D open world action games, and now she can't get enough of them. That makes it pretty special!
Bowser's Fury will always hold a special place in my heart for helping placate one of the roughest lockdown weeks I ever had.

Squanders its final furlough (probably because of cowonaviwus I guess!) but it's just great fun. Mascot platformer, yay!!
There is an essay to be written about the way this game safely toes the line on Serious Subjects, but I don't want to write it.

I got the Japanese armor. I'm happy.
14
An admirable effort that can really only be criticised for being a low-budget small-team production, and that feels unnecessary. Fills an aching historical edutainment gap in my heart that the decline of Assassin's Creed created.
15
One of the best punk video games of all time, which means it isn't all that good in the grand scheme of things. Feels a bit like an old man playing cultural catch-up to nouveau avant-garde young bucks like Cruelty Squad.
16
My enjoyment of this game is growing as I learn to hack away at the unnecessary accoutrements, but ultimately it's still hamstrung by having my drum n bass interrupted by polygon-plastique simulacra of BBC Radio 1 DJs every 2 minutes
17
Could have been higher with a few more JENOVA remixes in the bundle
19
I resent that this lives while Mario 35 dies
21
Wish I was young enough to have the time and friends necessary for this to reach its full potential
22
In and out with no fuss - I respect that.
23
Mechanical perfection wasted on presentational dogshit
24
Good enough that I almost considered the undignified act of buying a controller for my iPhone
25
An admirable indie game that is crushed under the weight of its technical ambition
26
I thought about this 5-minute browser game more often than a lot of games I paid money for and spent indispensable time on
27
it tried
28
I forgot that I played it, which says it all
29
wretched reminder that publishers can suffocate all the quality out of a title just by putting a monthly pricing model on it
30
embarrassing
31
worse than embarrassing
