Neon white truly deserved that win, it's message about how hard life life is for people who have big boobs really was impressive, it's one of the only games to truly make me cry from deep within my heart, it's a goddamn masterpiece. I cannot for neon white 2, hopefully they'll talk about the struggles of people with big dicks, even if that would be a bit less relatable to most people. (Im obviously joking calm down the game is good)

[@brycecartwright2403]

Sonic Team spent 4 years working on Sonic Frontiers and had to fight for an extra year to polish the game. They had to work overtime just to make is as good as possible. (They should've made the pinball mini game easier and made the parry timed but still)

@@thehydrationman5500 The game definitely isn't terrible though. But it needed more to do, and stuff like the pop-ins were a problem. Nothing to hinder gameplay, because the gameplay itself was solid (not the combat), but still. Frontiers is what I hope to be a solid start to a new formula.

I also loved neon white, I’m not usually motivated to speedrun games unless there’s some achievement for it but I found myself grinding levels to improve my time, I eventually got to top 20 in one level after hours of attempts and it felt so satisfying. My favorite levels were the ones with the dominion rocket launcher, they were an absolute joy to blitz through. Kinda hated speedrunning the book of life ones though lol

[@raspy_on_osu]

I saw it in the collage of FPS games near the end. I'm curious on your extended thoughts with Hyper Demon? It has nowhere near enough content to justify a place on this list, but for the leaderboard grinders such as myself it scratches an itch.

[@blankedout1862]

hey foekoe, I've been playing this game for a while and I think you'd like it. not sure if you've heard of it, but its called Noita. its a rougelike where you explore a secret filled world and get stronger by experimenting with your wand, placing different spells in different slots to get some pretty broken combos. for me, its special because there arent any permenant upgrades apart from how much you know about the game. so a lot of the hurdles you have to climb are acheived by thinking outside the box, trying to tap into the full potential of each spell. another big thing is the secrets. its got tons of elaborate secrets and they can be pretty fun to try and solve. the only problem with the secrets is that they can be really really cryptic, like to the point of being misleading, so its pretty difficult to enjoy the game's full potential spoiler free. i would watch Albino's video on it if youre interested, personally I think its 100% worth a buy, even without all the secrets. it does require a time investment to really enjoy it, as it can be a bit bullshit/rage inducing. but a good way to get a head start is with mods, as there are some that teach you about the games mechanics, such as spell lab. there are also others that introduce some more powerful spells, allowing you to get to the mid game faster. i think it'd be nice to get a review, but you dont have to, review what ya want.

[@pizzapockets848]

Noita is my most played game on steam, I absolutely love it, i second this.

[@ayoe0015]

Neon White was such a genuinely nice surprise. I went into it thinking I was gonna drop it at some point due to it being to hard or weird to understand. However, I ended up really enjoying the game and beat it to completion. I plan on going back in soon and getting all the achievements as well. The gameplay was fun and not overly difficult and the design and characters were amazing to me. If you haven't already played Neon White I absolutely think you should as it is one of my favorite games now even though I just recently started playing it.

[@danielesalvi3892]

Thank you Foekoe for putting neon White in 1st spot, what an hell of a game it was

[@kneftwuppo]

if you like cute games i would STRONGLY recommend Wuppo Definitive Edition in wuppo you play as a little white ball called a Wum. You live in the stotopap hotel and get kicked out because you spill ice cream everywhere and don't have a job. You follow through the game meeting a bunch of different people and races. Its a goofy game with tons of cute characters and if you want an idea of how goofy it is the 4 races are the wums, the splenkhakkers, the blussers, and the fnakkers. Anyways great video and I would strongly reccomend wuppo.

[@andreamarini9940]

i discovered neon white thanks to a yakko cmn video and man i felt in love with it from the gameplay to the dialouge which, to be fair, i agree that, as many people say, is kinda cringe, but is a type of cringe that i really like so i don't care. So, as you can expect, seeing it as your number 1, was kinda poggers ngl.

[@laurelc8709]

You should play La-Mulana and La-Mulana 2, they're really hard, obscure puzzles/riddles centered metroidvanias, both requiring a lot of yourself to beat, you need to pay attention to every detail and information you get. The way of progressing kind of reminds me of Outer Wilds in the sense of that, the main way of doing so is by trying to interpret what it is trying to communicate to you and overall your general knowledge of the game. There is some upgrades that you need to get in order to progress, but the main way is to pay attention to every piece of information you get. The first game is a 2012 remake of a 2005 game, so the controls and the platforming can be unforgiving, but i think that the sequel is a much more enjoyable experience for newcomers.
