Been awhile since I posted in here, but I am still working on Red Dead! I just got really distracted with Tony Hawk and Paper Mario, both have been infinitely more fun so far!

Here's my Top 10:

10. Baba Is You
So this is one of the few games I hadn't heard of before the contest, but having seen a little bit now, it looks really fun! The concept is really cool and it seems like it has the potential for some interesting twists. Plus it looks like a nice little short Indie game

9. XCOM 2
I've always loved the concept of permadeath. It makes you actually care about your characters and you have to take serious consideration when making decisions based on that. However it also makes the games a lot harder, throw in the base building and the first one was really difficult to me, but having beat it earlier this year. I feel more than ready to tackle this one.

8. Dark Souls
Speaking of really hard games I keep putting off... Dark Souls has always intrigued me, based off what I've heard it's unfairly difficult to an absurd degree and the first one in particular has some technical issues. Yet this franchise is insanely popular nonetheless, so I guess I'm excited to see what I'll the hype is about.

7. Hollow Knight
Recently I've been having a lot of fun with Metroidvanias. A couple years back I had beaten Super Metroid and Sotn and this year I finally beat Shovel Knight. So HK is definitely on my radar, especially thanks to one of my irl buddies. My only 'issue' is the same as the last two as well, I don't know if I'm ready to invest a lot of time into a difficult game! So as a result I can't put any of these much higher.

6. Octopath Traveler
So I've actually put a lot of time into this one already, and I was honestly really enjoying it despite its flaws. However I did reach a point where my characters weren't even close to holding their own in battle, so I am in a bit of a grinding road block that's made it kinda hard to jump back into. Thankfully I know once I get past that I'm sure I'll be enjoying it once more.

5. Doom
I adore games with a good flow and I've heard that Doom has it in spades. So I'm just really excited for some adrenaline filled combat. I did hear it gets a little stale after awhile so thats why it isn't any higher

4. Minecraft
Oh man am I ready for this one. So I have beaten Minecraft already, but I've mostly just played it with a friend or two. What I'm really looking forward to is the full multiplayer experience. If we can manage to get several Board8ers into a server the amount of fun would be huge. Minecraft has such a good mix of strategy, combat, platforming and especially creativity that a variety of different gamers would make it a really unique experience.

3. Ori and the Blind Forest
So for Ori, I seriously can't get over its gorgeous art style. Mix that with my interest in Metroidvanias and I'm so ready to give this one a whirl, plus I'll have the sequel to look forward too, since I heard it fixes a lot of the problems in this one

2. The Stanely Parable
Man I've wanted to play this game since release, but I never really had a decent PC to play it on until now. I've heard nothing but good things on this one and I love me some quirky writing, so this is definitely of my most hyped games.

1. Night in the Woods
So i know very little about this game, but I do think the art style is great and heard that it carries a lot of thought provoking messages. It really is the mystery and intrigue here that have me hooked more than anything else.
