![]() ![]() Twelve games by twelve authors, made sequentially, each developed in just three days. A super-ambitious comedy game that succeeds on the strength of its endearing aesthetic, pitch-perfect soundtrack, and across-the-board hilarious writing. In that sense it's closer to the genre's mournful storytelling roots than most mecha games ever get. ![]() It's a mecha game where every act of violence you can perform has a cost you have to weigh it against. The gorgeous PC-98 predecessor to Alysia Dragoon, given new life with a classy 3D update that doesn't compromise the original's thoughtful rules in the slightest. Two nifty sets of compact platformer rules explored thoughtfully without wasting your time. You can experience the poem as intended, or step outside its boundaries and contemplate it in a new way. Mucks with your perception in a really unique way!Ī short eerie first-person poem, elevated by the accidental choice to leave debug controls in the release version. Also a fun speedrun game weirdly enough!Ī puzzle game where the whole challenge is figuring out how to navigate a series of spaces. Puzzling out the constantly changing rules for the blades' movements would be purely delightful if not for the game's visceral hook. The closing sequence of this story has stuck in my brain for years. Gorgeous and overly edgy RPGMaker adventure with a crunchy custom battle system. Simple and affecting, and brief enough that its broadness doesn't become obnoxious. Macfield and the Island of Memories (2018)Ī powerful visceral puzzle language married to an affecting story, my favorite of the decade's batch of mid-budget cinematic platformers. Perfectly captures the innate comedy of budding adolescent desire.Ī lovely little queer fairy tale with wonderful art and some cute formal hooks.ĩ6. SWR JST DX Selective Memory Erase Effect (2015)Īn intensely varied arcade-style set-piece platformer, one that consistently delights and surprises throughout its brisk run-time. If you have any questions ask em here and I'll get to you as soon as I can.Ī collection of abstract first-person Unity games! I really connected with the subtle adolescent angst of its perspective.ġ00. You don't have to rush and do it the minute you see this post, but we'd appreciate everyone's participation in making this a nice fat list. #5 - The cut-off for participation is MAY 10TH Be sure to give it some thought, too. Basically if you can make any case for a game having come out in the decade, I'll allow it. No reason in excluding something that came out this decade for you simply because it took forever to get localized. #4 - For the most part we'll be going with local release dates. An example would be The Nonary Games containing both 999 and Virtue's Last Reward. If some or all of the games in a collection were released this decade though, please vote for them individually. Examples would be the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro trilogy remasters, or The Disney Afternoon Collection. New modification to this rule though, since we live in the age of remasters and definitive editions, is that if every game in a collection wasn't originally released in this decade, you can vote for the collection itself. ![]() If a blurb mentions another game, try not to reference its position on your list, as when the lists are all combined, saying something like, "the number 2 game on my list" makes no sense and has to be changed. I enjoy reading about why people choose a game, so if you need a few paragraphs to explain why a game means a lot to you, go right ahead. Blurbs aren't required to be short (though short ones are still fine). They'll be posted next to each game's ranking in the final results, so this entire article is written by you. #2 - Take just a moment to write a bit about each game on your list. Of course your list can be shorter, but 100 is the max. Yeah that seems insane, but that breaks down to 10 games per year, so you may run out of space faster than you think. I feel it's fair to allow up to *deep breath* 100 games per list. How many items should this list have? Since we're tackling an entire decade this time. #1 - Compile a list of your favorite games released in the 2010s and rank them best you can with your favorite being #1. It's been a while since we've done one of these, and the forums were gone for a bit, but I think entering is pretty simple. Which games released between January 1st 2010 and December 31st 2019 are the best? It's up to you to help us figure it out! This time instead of focusing on a single console, or generation on consoles, I think it makes the most sense to just focus on a period of time, that being of course, the recently ended decade of the 2010s. It's time once again, to think about the games of yesteryear, gather our thoughts and jot them down into a forum post, and then smash them all together into a GIANT ASS LIST! (linked example of previous list)
