Best of 2012, shortlist.
Shortlist for my top 10 games of 2012.
Shortlist for my top 10 games of 2012.
Despite the ending, despite some of the design choices made, despite having 2 of the core parts of the game be released as paid for DLC, (one well after the game was released!) there's enough left in Mass Effect 3 for me to still have a really good time with it. No, it's not as good as the previous games, but it has enough to still let me have a great time with most of it.
I never fully clicked with Fez. I appreciate what Phil Fish has done, I love the music and the look and the sense of wonder, but something about it never fully connected with me.
I still think it's a game that everyone should play, especially if you've been playing games since the NES or earlier.
Like Mass Effect 3, it's not as good as the previous game. Some areas are improved, but other decisions hamstring my enjoyment of it. There's an over reliance on dungeons and too much backtracking for my liking, but the addition of loot (upgradable loot at that) is a brilliant choice.
At the point I finalise my list, I've only played one game of FTL, which isn't enough for me to justify putting it on the top 10, based on that one play however, it's awesome.
