CCG writes - "As a procedurally-generated tactical role-playing game, Wildermyth does the bare minimum to start your journey. Each of the stories featured in the game can be summarized as “the ancient evil awakens and you and your ragtag group of heroes must stop the evil from evil-ing” or something to that extent. And as cliché as it may sound, it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey."
Tom Chick - "In 2021, I finally came to appreciate the Hitman games, although part of appreciating them is realizing how little they’ve progressed since their latest model. Hitman III is great, to be sure. But it’s also just more levels for Hitman I, so this would easily make my list of top ten games of 2016. When it came to roguelikes, I enjoyed Returnal’s dark sci-fi/horror aesthetic despite my inability to get past Housemarque’s trademark “get good” barrier. Imagine Earth was a smartly focused planetary development game based on head to head competition with other players. It was a realtime boardgame, really. Although unlike a boardgame, it’s hard to read, and not just because the developers thought it would be cute to make you spin a 3D globe instead of look at a map. Remember, developers, 3D globes are never a good idea."
Never even heard of half those games lol so i wont pass judgement due to that.
My list in no particular order
Ratchet and clank
Hitman 3
Resident evil village
Tales of arise
Returnal
Forza horizon 5
Halo infinite
Bravely default 2
Deathloop
Stopping at 9 as nothing else i played was a real standout for me this year.
2022 will be a much better year for gaming 2021 wasnt that great to be honest
Mine...based on games I played in 2021
Demons souls
Returnal
Ratchet
Ori and will of wisps
13 sentinels
Nier automata
Pillars of eternity
Hades
Narita boy
Hellblade
I know...quite the backlog I've had but that's what I enjoyed the most that I played this year. Kinda in order more or less.
This year so far has been just marvels guardians of the Galaxy.
Still got on me to try:
Metro Exodus
Devil may cry 5
Deathloop
Metroid dread
Chivalry 2
But if I don't hurry many of these will stay on backlog...horizon and elden ring are coming up soon...also dying light 2
Great games have made a shitty year a lot more palatable.
It was ok. I can’t think of anything I would put in my top 10 all time or anything like that. I think next year is going to be the best year in a long time.
I'm having so much fun with the world of Assassination, I think more devs should make their sequels seamless experiencess. IO did a brilliant job, Hitman 3 is definately my PC game of 2021.
Far more than just a gorgeous and deliciously complex strategy game, Wildermyth invites players to spin their own tales at every turn.
