Going to treat this as a gut feeling exercise and not check my list. Also going to try and restrict myself to 21st century since that's probably going to be a more interesting list.

17. Gurren Lagann
16. 5 Centimeters Per Second
15. Darker Than Black
14. Samurai Champloo
13. Kiki's Delivery Service
12. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
11. Ping Pong
10. Yuru Camp

1. A Place Further Than the Universe

Looking over it there's probably some element of recency bias here but this more or less seems like a good list.

Infinite Space is about where my capacity for space ship battle complexity tops out at (read: not very complex at all!) but this looks very cool for the people who this is for.

I just wanted to talk about Infinite Space.

It's wholly unsurprising given they've done the exact same thing with past digital storefronts but I would have a lot more sympathy for the considerations that go into a decision like this if not for the fact that a ridiculous amount of regions still don't officially have access to the eShop.

Being fed up about the soullessness of the modern games industry and jumping straight into the arms of Brave Exvius is a choice. If you're fine with gacha games then Girls Frontline or Arknights are the go to recommendations. Or Genshin I guess.

Otherwise I'll just drop the premiere word games Spelltower and TypeShift to go alongside your daily Wordle habit.

I'm just here for the gratuitous close-ups of people jabbing comically oversized syringes into their wrist.

I loved the first game and overall enjoyed the second game so I'll definitely be checking this out. I'm one of the people who loves the combat systems in these games and the swings their writers take with the stories are always enjoyable so I'm looking forward to another great journey.

That being said, I would hope they take a good hard look at how grindy the 2nd game ended up being and make big changes in the progression front. They already made a lot of positive improvements with the DLC so I'm hopeful for good things in this new game.

Prepare to see a lot of "The Witcher 3" in this thread.

I don't know what my exact answer is but it's probably some JRPG that they showed utterly no interest in over the years, which is fine!

Oh actually, it's probably the original Nier. I don't remember what the staff discourse around it was but it was probably negative and I loved that game to bits despite the obvious warts.

This puts the first game into a perspective that makes a lot more sense. It very much felt like the first draft of an idea, especially the combat, so an opportunity to expand on it further could be interesting. I'm not champing at the bit to play this sequel but a platform for anthology-style JRPG stories is definitely a cool idea. The plot in the first game was pretty whatever but there were some great bits of character writing in there, I just wish I liked the solo narrator gimmick more.

1. Telling Lies

2. Superliminal

I recently contacted them to get the 2FA on my account removed since I lost access to whatever phone I had set it up with years ago. After giving them the necessary info, got a reply back a few days later saying they removed it only to attempt to log in and discover it was very much not removed.

They eventually resolved it after I followed up telling them it was still there but it was really odd to be told so confidently they had removed it when they clearly hadn't.
