also, the stuff ive drawn are from games i play:]

PERSONAL RATING: ★★★★★ 5/5

Not exactly inktober since I'm not following prompts (although these are all just pencil and inks) but more in the spirit of 'a paper a day'!

Aight, so I played a lot of video games this year. Big surprise. I did play Armored Core 6, and Sekiro, and Dave the Diver, and Super Mario Wonder, and Tears of the Kingdom. but you’ve heard of all those. You don’t need to hear about them again. For clarification this is about games I played for the first time this year. Not games that necessarily came out this year. In no particular order

1.Rhythm Doctor

Single button rhythm game. Far harder than it sounds. Excellent music, excellent gameplay, excellent story. Go check it out! Seriously.

2.Atomicrops

Twinstick shooter and farming sim hybrid. I got ridiculously addicted to this. Damn amazing game, good for the adhd. Very tight gameplay loop.

3. Shotgun King

Chess rougelike where you are a king with a shotgun. Actually quite strategically complex. Very fun time.

4.Lunacid

Basically a new indie Kingsfield. An excellent time if you enjoy old slow action rpgs. Amazing atmosphere, music, level design, etc. Great time.

7.Citizen Sleeper

If I had to pick a top game from this list, it might just be this. RPG about being an escaped robot victim of capitalism on a space station and all the people you meet there. Made me cry a lot. Very good. Just play it.

8.In Other Waters

The same devs as citizen sleeper made this. Also very very good. About a marine xenobiologist exploring an alien ocean. Also made me cry. Best game about the ocean ive played. Finished it in a single sitting.

9.Mosa Lina

Very neat puzzle game/immersive sim in the strictest sense. Your solution to any give level is truly your own, always.

10.Milk Outside of a Bag of Milk

The sequel to another very good game, milk inside of a bag of milk. Although ofc quite dissimilar from my own experiences, as a person who struggles with intense social anxiety and is generally neurodivergent, I relate a lot to both of these games.

11.Signalis

Survival horror game about being an android who is looking for someone. Another game you just have to play. Very interesting story and themes, and tight, classic-feeling gameplay.

Other games I played for the first time this year and loved, that you’ve probably either heard of before or I didn’t quite like enough to list: What Remains of Edith Finch, Everhood, Paratopic, No One Lives Under the Lighthouse, Hyper Demon, Post Void, Wrought Flesh, Dusk, Exo One, Gris, Into the Breach, Abzu, Antichamber, Humanity, Amnesia Rebirth*

I feel like I need to end every videogames recommendation post now by begging you to play Outerwilds. Trust me, its amazing.

(there's also romances, very interesting romances 🧐)
