i liked into the breach a lot and i think for what it is it's stellar but it's no ftl it just lacks something

Into The Breach is a very good game, but it's no FTL.

re: the console of the year vote, it was separate from the main thing, ppl picked their fave consoles overall for theyear. could include games they didn't even nom/vote. guess people spent more time on the ps4 this year!
Sure sure, and I get that - what I was clumsily trying to get at was, is it just that its exclusives of Spider-man and God of War (and Tetris Effect, which I forgot) were so good, or was it anything else that caused people to think of it fondly in its fifth year?

lol just read Mordy's xp post on Into The Breach, but honestly feel the same.

Additional disappointment of 2018 votes, all one point each:- Destiny 2- Marvel Puzzle Quest- Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom- Secret of Mana remake- "not enough hours in the day"
re: PS4 i think it's just that it's a lot of people here's main platform for gaming and nintendo had a lower key year

xp (in addition to one vote each for God of War, Donut County, Far Cry 5, NES Switch Online, and five votes for Red Dead Redemption 2)

So I should play Celeste (and FTL), huh?
― Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Wednesday, 17 April 2019 21:26 (five years ago) link
I tried to talk myself out of voting for Celeste #1 but it's definitely the one I enjoyed the most.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 17 April 2019 21:26 (five years ago) link
yeah celeste was just one of those self-evidently great and memorable games, couldn't really not vote it #1 though i gave it the tie with ys 8 which was a more emblematic favorite of what i was playing in 2018

celeste is undeniable

If I'd played more games last year I might've added to the Obra Dinn votes - I had a few minor reservations but overall loved that game.
― emil.y, Friday, 19 April 2019 13:36 (five years ago) link
Yeah, my enthusiasm for Obra Dinn was only slightly dampened by some interface/navigation annoyances, but it’s one that I’ll be recommending for a long time. And as good as Dead Cells is, there’s probably going to be another 20 games like it over the next few years. Obra Dinn, unless something very unexpected happens, is unlikely to be replicated anytime soon.

fuck, hollow knight finished... 6th last year? how did i let that one slide? i hope the voters were all new voters. if not i tsk at you. TSK TSK TSK2 years ago was a near-sweep of the top for indies. inside, dark souls 3, witness, stardew, salt & sanctuary. indies always do very well here, if not for borderlands, marvel puzzle quest, dark souls, and a couple of other cult classics over here it'd almost always be all indies!

Last year, I played the intro section of Hollow Knight on PC and I may have given it some points. I played the rest of the game on PS4 this year.
