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

Not sure what games I've played I'd say are definitely better than Celeste

I never play enough games to vote in these polls (1-2 a year) but Hollow Knight was such a wonderful experience, glad to see it do so well

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!
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
― Nhex, Friday, 19 April 2019 18:46 (five years ago) link
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.
