Among the best games that I played this year, Metroid Dread is one that’ll remain relevant for years to come, not merely in the discussion of genre and legacy and pricing, but through players like myself who evidently can’t get enough of it.

I was skeptical if Aeon Drive was truly for me before I started it. After finishing it, at least to secure the “bad” ending, for now, I can safely say I had fun. It was an enjoyable romp that had me sitting on the edge of its seat.

Much of GRIS defies easy categorization, while at the same time the game as a whole can be easily categorized, dismissed, and shelved away. However, I’ll say it’s art not because it’s pretty but because it adds to the human experience by providing a human experience, whatever that experience means to you. GRIS, like much of life, can be explained without being fully explained, and I wonder where our memories and experiences make it similar and make it different.

Moonlighter is one of those special indies that comes along once in a while, the kind that leaves you wanting more. 

RiME is a short journey adventure through a range of emotions and exploring these through associative visuals was fascinating.

But to prove to your friends and acquaintances that you’re valuable? Worth it. Now there’s no denying that I am The Rightful King™ and not just a filthy peasant.
