[@ClapaclaBO2]

I know this list is subjective, but I definitely disagree with your rating on Moonlighter. This game mixes the fast paced dungeon combat with a cozy shop-owner simulator, with both elements being well made and polished. I think it is a creative concept that was very well executed. Graphics are great, gameplay is addictive. To me this was a really solid experience that deserves an A on a tier list. Other than that, solid video!

[@boxmonkey2766]

yeah idk. I really enjoyed moonlighter too but i definitely wouldn't give it an A. B at the least though. It was hella fun played it during the covid time. Good times.

Same story for me as it was with you. I was deep into the competitive smash grind, I also wanted to get into the single player masterpieces, but could never bring myself to make the jump.

[@zangelo100]

Really like this video, didn't skip a single second. I like how you present your opinion of each game! Not sure if you have a new video planned rn but either way I'm subscribing.

[@diaryofarobot]

Amazing video! No joke I think you might be the best game reviewer out there, for real. When I finish watching a video by other popular reviewers I'm always left empty and I'm pretty much at the same place where I started, but with yours I truly got a comprehension of all these games and now know which ones I'll like and which ones I won't like so much. It also helps that your likes and my likes are very similar I guess. The only thing I wanted to mention is that it'd be nice if you could primarily show gameplay footage on the games, which you do for the most part, but since some trailers barely show gameplay, it's hard to get a grasp of what the game is actually like. i.e on the STALKER part. It's fine though, it's only a minor complaint. Aside from that, don't change anything else about your style, I can't wait for the next video. Keep up the good work! You definitely deserve more subscribers

[@David111IsHere]

Since I got my first gaming PC back in 2021, every year I discovered and played new indie games and even though I already liked games because they were fun, now I really appreciate everything from story and characters to combat and exploration to music in any genre of game.

Well made video and I like how you describe games. I add some to my wishlist thanks to you. Keep going :) Happy New Year!

[@Jenna_Talia]

I think what I like about core keeper is it actually got me to start bothering with automation and railways. Usually survival RPGs have so much power creep and ways to get a fuck ton of resources that it just isn't necessary but building railways out to the further away biomes is in your best interest. Especially since the game softly encourages you to set up camp by spawn. Also if what you want is a sense of urgency and a need for communication with DRG's enemies then you'll love the new stalker enemy they're adding, which remains invisible and renders your shields broken for 10 seconds after it hits you. And for Sea Of Thieves, really any MMO, it makes sense that you had no clue what you were doing. 90% of the gameplay is based on doing the same quests over and over again for money to buy cosmetics. I don't think I've ever seen an MMO break the "inch deep, mile wide" cliche. It's no lie to say what makes Sea Of Thieves good is its vibes.

[@BOO1101]

Agreed with all your reviews, but for deep rocks. They were all really well thought out and I loved some of your thinking. I personally would rate deep rock as one of my favourite games of all time, but in order to enjoy it to it’s fullest does require some additional work from the player and your friend group. You must not only play the dwarf, but be the dwarf. Got about 200 hours in it in the past few months and it feels like a game that just keeps giving. Yes it may have elements of repetition, but if you change your builds or run overclocks the game can hit incredibly different. Loved all your reviews, just disagree with DRG, but I can see why you rate it what you did. Well thought out reviews for such a small channel.

[@robertparker3489]

I spent about 6 months playing P5R, I restarted twice and finally beat it on my 3rd try. I absolutely loved it up until my 2nd attempt and by the 3rd time i was fed up of it. It's a shame because the game is really really good.

[@gabrielsaldana2574]

I don't know if you've played it but I highly reccomend you to play Outer Wilds, it's one of the greatest story games of all time. Make sure to not search it up or spoil it for yourself since the whole game is basically ruined once you do. This is because the only way to finish the game is by understanding the story and gathering information as the game has no leveling system. This means that everything you can do after 100 hours is possible to do with 0 hours, but you just do't know how to at the start. Theoretically someone can beat the game in less than half an hour of playtime if they spoil it for themselves, so try to use no guides, and if you do, choose spoiler free guides at least, but still try to avoid them so you can at least feel accomplished at the end. Oh, and turn up the volume, because the music in incredible.

[@Tanarjun]

Loved the video, especially your commentary, one suggestion I'd have is, instead of generic youtibe clips, it would be even more awesome if you put clips of your own gameplay.

[@fattyhacker5745]

Totally agree, but since this video was already taking a lot of time to make and I'm just doing this for fun, I will probably stick to generic footage for a while. However I appreciate the kind words and suggestions!

[@genriquesantomecalcaneo4240]

If you like a completely story-telling game, I would recommend Citizen sleeper. It's not so short, I think it took me 14 hours to finish the game once, but I enjoyed all of it, there are a lot of characters and even though there is no "real" gameplay because it has a dice mechanic, the decisions you make affect the story and your relations with characters and the world.

The one thing I will say about stalker is that the story is supposed to feel like it's apart of the world, not the other way around. It is very lore focused and doesn't seem involved until you look at it further, which is something I like for stalker.

[@timeforgamesYT]

I've been watching a lot of videos lately of people sharing their games played in 2023, but not from 2023. I'm wondering if it's because I started posting videos myself or maybe because a lot of us looked at 2023 and went "Oh, s**t! These amazing games will not stop being released anytime soon. I better start digging into that backlog." 😁

this was a great list man, seems like we have similar taste

[@lukkkasz323]

The reason why you don't remember any of the characters from Shadow of Chernobyl is, because it's uniquely not a character-driven story. Personally for me Shadow of Chernobyl is a peak of video game storytelling, but I understand it's not for everyone.

As i have gotten older I acutally find myself playing more singleplayer story games in short sessions. I can definetly relate to the fatigue that you you get when it comes to online video games. Ranking up and just queuing over and over again to experience the same gameplay just isn't as fun or entartaining as completing a good story game.

Hey turns out my 2023 list had many similar titles: Dead Cells : agree on the story. You can have a vague story and be good, but dead cells is not it. Firewatch : I was actually disappointed with that game. It was good, but the story left me wanting more and disappointed with the ending. Also other games in the genre made it more immersive (choices that matters, better gameplay). Still I'd had place it similarly, either top C or bottom B for me. Hades : currently my top rated rogue like of all time. Gameplay, characters, stories, music, progression, just great. S is where it belongs. Hollow Knight: I wish I experienced what so many people claim they have experienced. Hollow knight for me was good, but not great. I preferred both Oris, for their story, characters, second Ori has better combat, better side quests, and better boss designs in my opinion. It's apparent though that Hollow Knight highly influenced the transformation between ori 1 and 2. I have a lot of respect for Hollow Knight and I think I'd rate it higher if I played before any other similar games back in 2017. Slay the spire : agreed. The only reason I stopped playing it was that I preferred continuing my backlog than spending countless hours in it.

I really liked the video but I have to mention that you gave up on Sea of Thieves really quick. You can't usually unlock every mission in 4 hours. I played the game like 155 hours and even I couldn't unlock every mission or I didn't finish every Tall Tale (which are basically story missions in SoT). Also I have to say that game becomes more funny by you play it because a mission or a certain level recquired fights are usually better than the ones you are doing now.

[@thepowerfulpaet4937]

I agree with him that it has significant flaws. The core idea of it is great but there are some design choices that are so baffling it makes me angry. Why is the pirate creation just picking random until I get one I like? Why are the only unlocks cosmetic when every other game has figured out the concept of sidegrades? Why is the combat worse than skyrim? Why is it so easy for ship combat with players to be reset back to square 1 with no progress made? Why is boarding enemy (player) ships and spawn camping them mandatory to win? Why Why Why I have almost never seen a game with more missed potential.
