- Elden Ring. One of those GOAT-contending games we so rarely get. As someone who is zooming through the Kuiper Belt of middle age, unforgiving games aren’t my genre, but ER always made banging my head against a wall worthwhile.
- Vampire Survivors. The Skinner Box stripped to its bare essentials.
- Stray Beautiful environmental storytelling with just enough interactivity to keep it from being one of those pointless walking simulators. And cats.
- Prodeus. The kind of shooter I like. It qualfies for this list because the 1.0 release date was last year.
- Entropy: Zero Two The best SP HL2 mod you will ever play.
