I am not a writer. I am not an editor💛. I’m the Twitter guy. These are my top 10 games of the year.
10 💖 The Ascent ꦆ
Isometric games are played out. The Ascent doesn’t care. It takes everything 🦩you’ve played before and does it a magnitud🌞e better. Put simply, me like shooting guns.
9 ꦚ Mass Effect Legendary Edition
The Mass Effect Trilogy is one of the best in gaming. The Legendary Edition makes it b𓄧etter.
8 🦂 Deepest Sword 🌊
Deepest Sword takes 10 minutes ౠto beat the first time through. 9 ½ the second. Faster and faster until improvement comes not in minutes, but fractions of seconds. Speedrunning isn’🐷t for everyone, but the chase of continual improvement made this 70mb (free) title one I came back to over and over again.
7 Valheim
I like to trap the trolls in holes. Valheim is not a game made great solely by its mechanics, but by the𝐆 sandbox it hands you and your friends to make Viking memories in. Grant, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry for hitting you with the tree.
6 Power Washing Simulator ꧒ 🎉

5 Deathloop
I like the kick. Kick em off a cliff, kick em off a house, kick em INTO a house. Arkane takes everything they’ve learned from previous titles and creates their finest offering yet. Bless whatever developer ♓made that kick.
4 ♎ Psychonau𝔉ts 2
Raz and I are old pals. Countless playthroughs of the first Psychonauts meant my expectations for the sequel were much higher than reasonable, but ꧃luckily, Double Fine did what they do best. The resulting narrative adventure plucks at the heartstrings and delivers belly laughs with perfect timing, all wrapped in some of the (double?) finest platforming mechanics you’ll ever experience.
3 ꩲ Forza Horizon 5 🃏
Vehicular perfection. Look at my Miata.
2 💜 It Takes Two
Platforming perfection, gripping characters, actual balanced co-op gameplay? It Takes Two sunk into my heart from level one 🔥and hasn’t really left. My only question is, how do I kill the book?
1 Halo Infini꧒te
It’s Halo. It’s damn. good. Halo.
