I didn’t watch the video game awards, and I have no doubt they were a bloated mess. Gotta say, however, the winners were really strong. Disco Elysium and Sekiro have the biggest nights? Hell yeah.

Another maverick list from Slant. I haven't even heard of several of the games in the top 10.

Nice. I think it would break my brain.

Nothing against the game, really. I played and enjoyed it well enough. But it doesn't scream game of the decade to me, and it sticks out on Duke's list.

While Hollow Knight may indeed be a souls-like, to me there's nothing like the real thing: From Software. Like most of their games, Sekiro is on another level. I'm curious if you'll find it more or...

Hotline Miami is such a cool game. It almost made made my list as well.

Games from your list that I love:
Last of Us
Mass Effect 2
Inside
Hotline Miami
Shadow of Mordor
XCOM

I played it solo. Very cool implementation.

Here are some games that I feel could have been among my faves of the decade had I played/finished them, or had they come out at a time I was more ready to vibe with them. Not really honorable...

Heh, you said "positive." Any time I've had characters survive to the end of the war, they were either severely injured, depressed/suicidal, or healthy but only at the cost of doing horrible shit to...

These are my favorite games of the decade. I've played games my whole life, but only "seriously" for the past 10 years or so. So these are also pretty much my favorite games "ever." But I'd probably...

I haven't played since last we talked lol. Thanksgiving is a time suck for me, and tbh I'm not feeling super compelled to play. But I will battle on for a while longer.

Seriously though. Once you feel relatively comfortable with the game, Ironman is the only way to play. Also, make sure to name and customize all non-rookie soldiers after your favorite film...

2019 official release: Slay the Spire (though I played early access for a while)
Otherwise: The Long Dark

Really haven't played many games this year. Just bought Days Gone and Outer Wilds (not...

I felt he intended it to be empowering for her to watch. But of course he takes it too far.

Two seriously top-notch games. As long as you’re a glutton for punishment.

Just finished. I'd say it's about the friction between 1. basic notions of right vs. wrong (Paquin) and 2. the moral constructs/codes of honor that govern people's lives (in this case, mostly wise...

God of War

I just finally found the blu ray of Secret Sunshine that's been sitting in a pile for about two years. Gonna watch today (better be a GD masterpiece) then get my dvd/br queue up and running again as...

I post about most games that really get me, but those seem to be more and more rare as times goes on. Years ago I would post my top games of the year, but these days I tend to pick a game and stick...

I'm a little bit into episode 2. Three hours in, it kind of feels like I'm about to take my first real mission. But I hear it doesn't REALLY open up until ten hours in/episode 3. So we'll see about...

I’ll start playing now too.

Totally agree. My point, in its own way, is a defense of the game.

Btw, what game are you referring to here? I'm curious. The only game I've played all year (The Long Dark) has been around for a...

It should be noted that not everyone is in agreement. Seems to me Death Stranding is more divisive than your average well-reviewed-across-the-board game.

Amazing, hour-long review thing.

Obviously wider availability is good news for gamers in general. But I’m annoyed at myself for wanting Death Stranding to stay a Sony exclusive.
