Later than ever, here comes Coint & Plick! Best games as chosen by about 20 of you of 2018. We didn't even get to 77 games this year! We invited board games to the party this year, too, and one of them showed up! Maybe it'll pull more people into the voting next year, who knows? THE BALLOT POOL IS GETTING SMALL OH GOD
Gonna TRY to post 25ish today & tomorrow and the remainder on Wednesday, but unsure I'll be able to pull it off, as I am in and out of meetings all week (guess who's the only member of his team in the office all week, yay).
Enjoy!

Not sure why I even bothered putting 2 points on it. It's... fine? It is fun to play Pokemon again. I am very excited for this new gameplay decision to avoid wasting HP catching pokemon, although burning through all of those pokeballs (and not getting money back for catches) is a little concerning. Regardless, it acts as a good amuse-bouche for this year's Pokemon Sword and Shield and gun!

I think I voted for two games. I'll be amazed if one of them makes it.

I'd say your odds are good, unless you only gave them one point each ;)

trying to zero out my bookmarks while i do this makes me keep losing this tab
i was also the 4 points for far cry 5, i liked it! i may have terrible taste, as evidenced by everyone i know hating far cry 5. i thought it was vibey as hell, music was real good, story was enjoyably bleak. did it for me more than 3 for sure, maybe even 4?
anyway here's another 4 pointer from me, because apparently the beginning of this rollout is all ME, ME, ME

did you ever play donut county and think "boy i wanna play this, but without any of the narrative wrapper, and one level, and over and over, and tyry to eat the whole map in two minutes while other players online try to eat you?"

― they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boot Edge Edge" (Will M.), Monday, 15 April 2019 15:45 (five years ago) link
my 4 pointers cannot be stopped
this is very much a valkyria chronicles game, and is very enjoyable. i got maybe 3/4 of the way into it before i was like "this mission is tough, i am gonna take a break" and inevitably never booted it up again. too much story, as expected, but that great, unique gameplay you don't get in any other strategy game. (or maybe you do, if so, let me know)

crosscode is a very impressive indie take on the action jrpg (e.g. ys, secret of mana, etc) that unfortunately has a bit of early-access-itis where its been way overstuffed with content and kinda exhausting to play because of it, everything takes 50% longer than it should
― ciderpress, Monday, 15 April 2019 16:02 (five years ago) link
i went from thinking it was the best indie rpg ever made to not finishing it
― ciderpress, Monday, 15 April 2019 16:03 (five years ago) link
Bad North was my vote! It's a controller-friendly RTS game where you don't have more than four units at a time and you're defending waves of invaders on randomly-generated island after randomly-generated island. It's a weird combo of cute and bloody style. Support your local stripped-down RTS.

hole.io is fun and i was very good at it. it could use some more maps (last i played it there were only 3 - the pirate one was most fun)
far cry 5 had its moments but it quickly wore out its welcome w/ the same repetitive mechanics (made even more repetitive by them being the same mechanics as the other far cry games) and a pretty stupid storyline. what really annoyed me tho was when all the forest animals started transforming. you'd see a bear and shoot at it and it would turn into a wolverine or something. this happened like a million times it was apparently a part of the theme tho i could never clearly work out what was doing it. (it only happened in the weirdo psychoactive drug zone so i guess the idea is that you keep hallucinating that they're something different than they are but that's not how hallucinations work and it's just absurd.) actually this was maybe an okay game but i cannot get over the stupid animal transformation shit.

ok if one time ever you saw a beaver and it turned into a cougar or whatever but over and over again the same transformation hallucination? but maybe i missed somewhere where the game explained what was going on. it was just so bizarre

remake but the original was never nominated (or placed, obv)
fantastic game - great music, humor, the gameplay is fun, challenging (but not impossible) lots of secrets, etc. stood out even in a year with a lot of exceptional platformers.

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?

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!
also i forgot to post my own ballot.

i did think something was off about Hollow Knight, it makes sense since it didn't come to consoles until 2018

yeah it had a bigger hype cycle when it came out on switch than when the original pc version came out the previous year

dark souls 3 is indie?
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.
