Had a nice Saturday morning going through the top 20, thanks for taking the time to share those! I think we can all relate to going through difficulties in life, so do as much or as little as you need to bring closure to this project and reclaim some energy for more important things.

I remember watching a video of GRIS and not being too interested by the gameplay, but the intro mesmerized me and really stuck with me. Love the way her dress floats and flutters in the wind, and how I never quite process just how far the camera's zoomed out until the end. There's a follow-up to the song called Gris, Pt. 2 placed near the end of the OST (the intro is Gris, Pt. 1, for context) which I've listened to a bunch, but haven't looked up where it plays because I feel it'll be an ending sequence with massive spoilers. Might eventually check out the game at some point; I like the Journey and Monument Valley vibes, but it never seemed hyped enough to really capture my interest (apparently it has more Steam reviews than Celeste, so maybe I've just been living under a rock). Reading the Steam description, it does seem like losing her voice in the intro is a metaphor for some major life event.

Other thoughts on the top 20:
MGS3 is a classic, if only because of the song
Mario Party 2 is really fun and charming
I've been on a history binge lately, so Civ V was a good watch
Besides the two KH appearances, the other common thread I noticed was Stardew Valley and Stanley Parable starting from the drain of office life - maybe we should've nominated more of those! Definitely think Stanley Parable is a game worth trying.
