List is not final until the blog comes out, because this one is difficult. But hey, in case you were wondering, played some absolute bangers this year. Limiting this down to 10 is gonna be an ordeal, and I'm not even counting replays.
unironically my favorite old-school shooter in years

Finally, Mimimi is here to try and single-handedly revive the entire weird subgenre of "Commandos-likes" If you like shadows, and tactics, and a game that makes you feel very good when your stupid plans come to fruition, highly recommend.
Angry Man Murders Greek Mythology And Sometimes Pushes Blocks II continues the trend of the Angry Man Murdering Mythology series of being very good if you would like to see an Angry Man Murder Greek Mythology and Sometimes Push Blocks.

A Tales game where your party of morally ambiguous scallywags very much causes problems for the Lawful Neutral Assholes who have saved the world.
