Disco Elysium is on the list and it ignores Death Stranding and Outer Worlds. This is a good ass list.

Second time today I've seen Disco and Sunless Skies on the same list together and I couldn't be happier.

Also need to check out Telling Lies at some point.

Solid list, with a BUNCH of stuff I need to get on with already.

Yeah it's super "New Yorker" list but from what I've seen it's not like any of these games don't deserve recognition.

    Oh nice, I haven't listened to the latest episode yet, but I'm curious what they had to say about it.

    I bought it off a recommendation from RiamuFG on the Dad & Sons podcast.

    Patrick brought it up as he had some rare alone-time to kill over the weekend and wanted to try a few short games before wrapping up his personal GOTY writing.

    They went on to gush over the game for like 15-20 min. Talking about how distilled the game is, just running at 2-3 hours but passing out player tools that other titles would spend a dozen hours to do in kind. They also mentioned how the game focuses on encouraging the gamer to just live in the space. To simply be there without pressing quest logs or map icons to check off. Apparently, the ending is super, super affecting as well.

    Guess I'll find out for myself tonight when I fire it up!

    That is both a very good list and a very New Yorker list.

    The New Yorker lacks the intelligence required to appreciate Strand type games.
