admittedly i didn't follow the instructions to draw on my arms, i thought she was being metaphorical until i looked up ppl's reviews afterward and saw literal arm-drawings.

Flappy Golf and Retry were mine. I liked them both for similar reasons. Just the right about of difficult to keep you playing over and over and over and over without making you think that it is impossible. You get just the slimmest glimmer of hope.

same here. it was on my ballot but i dropped it off at the last moment. i played through once, was tempted to play again just to go to a different region and/or try to get a better score, but i haven't opened it again since. but then again, i'm not really a fan of interactive fiction games so the fact that it held my attention for an hour or whatever is probably a good sign?
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 3 March 2015 20:01 (nine years ago) link
I liked the demo/free chapter of Dream Machine back when it was first released. The Last Door also worth a play through if you don't mind pixel art and like horror-adventure. Found most of the gameplay of With Those We Love Alive tedious clicking with no change, but did really like the arm drawing thing - and yes, you have to do it.

2015 games for me were Mortal Kombat X and Batman: Arkham Knight, neither of which really knocked it out of the park. Other than that, mostly mobile and older games as usual. I need to start keeping a game journal

There's never enough time to play all of the games of the year, but considering people didn't have enough time to play all of the NES games for that poll we can't exactly just say adding a couple years' lead time will "solve" anything. Maybe I'll set up something like a bonus question where you can put the best 1-3 games not from 2015 that you played in 2015 and they can get shouted out after the poll or something?
― nerd shit (Will M.), Wednesday, 30 December 2015 22:25 (eight years ago) link

I will probably start setting up the nominations list next week, which can run into feb, then voting into start of march, and the rollout early march... i know it's late but games take a long time to play! i still have 5ish in steam that may place but i need to play
― nerd shit (Will M.), Wednesday, 30 December 2015 22:41 (eight years ago) link
also it's early but everyone play life is strange, i want that game to place well
Oh, I looked at getting that. Might see how much that and Her Story are on Steam in a bit.
My top pick is probably going to be Sunless Sea, a slow-paced exploration game from the same universe as Fallen London/Echo Bazaar. A little of the old steampunk tendency (in case you're against that sort of thing) but great narrative work and tbh I really needed something of that relaxing pace.
Other things will probably be bits of IF... and Neko Atsume.

otm about sunless sea I kept thinking about how it's "slow play" in the best way (I love the brooding meditative silence). I got the merchant cruiser recently after three captain deaths and I feel like I still have 90% of the storylines to see
