Also, MORE GAMES I DIDN'T PLAY IN 2020-2021 BUT I WISH I DID

There were some games I forgot to mention the first time around, and since then I've also learned of some other games I didn't play, partly thanks to your guys's suggestions, so I'm doing one more quick pass of these just to cover ALL of my bases. By the time we get down to the top 10 here I'm going to have named nearly every game released in the last two years so I'm pretty sure you can figure out which 10 games it is nearly by process of elimination.

Psychonauts 2

I have the original Psychonauts in my Steam library but I've never played it! I'll get around to it. I did, at one time in my life, really enjoy a good 3D collectathon platformer, and I could see myself enjoying Psychonauts 2, but it's not something that was really on my radar.

Deathloop

I do play FPSes SOMETIMES and this one does have a cool premise. I'm not sure how much I would really enjoy it, but I might! Stranger things have happened. I mean, you know I'm good for a nice time loop game. (Not 12 Minutes though - I think I'm glad I avoided that one.)

Unpacking

This looks cute. It also looks kinda short, and I'm not sure I would really get enough out of it to be worth the asking price, so I skipped it. But it does look cute.

Phasmophobia

I actually kinda really want to play this one! I just got turned off by it because I wasn't sure if I would have others to play WITH, and playing with randos would be no good - I'd want to have other people who are about as inexperienced as I am to play with and that's kind of tricky to get a group of people for. But this game looks hella fun.

Shantae and the Seven Sirens

It's a Shantae game. I admit that despite not being the most compelling Metroidvanias ever made I do kind of have a soft spot for them, mainly due to Jake Kaufman's impeccable soundtracks. I feel like I kinda know what I'm in for with this one though.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel

I had to include this one on the list because I randomly discovered it the other day and was like, what the hell? Did you guys know that PS1 cult classic Tail Concerto is actually part of a franchise, and this turn-based tactics RPG is one of them? This got good reviews so I'm actually kinda interested in checking it out, and I'm just fascinated by the fact that I have NEVER heard of this game before or ever seen anyone talk about it. Anyone have a good word to put in for this one?

Griftlands
Roguebook
Banners of Ruin
Quantum Protocol
Vault of the Void

Oh my god, there's so fucking many deckbuilders now! HELP!

Record of Lodoss War -Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth-

Incredibly stupid name, but really cool looking Metroidvania? I'm highly tempted to check this one out just on the visual style alone. I have no idea what property this game is based on but it doesn't really matter.

Mini Motorways

Okay, honest to god, I wanted to play this game, but I got it confused with the older Mini Metro and thought it wasn't a 2020-2021 game so I passed on it. WHOOPS. It looks fun.

Chicken Police - Paint It RED!

I have no idea what this furry noir nightmare is supposed to be but I kind of want to play it.

Grime

Another Metroidvania someone in this topic guessed at one point, I think. Looks cool, hadn't heard of it, didn't play.

Cozy Grove

Looks cozy. Decided not to get into it since I was worried it would be kind of a timesink.

ElecHead

Neat-looking puzzle game that I just didn't get around to, mainly because I heard it was 'just alright'.

At Dead of Night

I threw this one on my Steam wishlist one day because holy shit, did you know TIM FOLLIN wrote music for this? Yes, THAT Tim Follin! He's still around and he wrote music for a HORROR game for some reason. I'm sort of fascinated by this, and the game has good reviews, so... maybe? Not that I feel the need to carefully follow every game in Tim Follin's career, because I mean, look at them. But it's kinda interesting that he came out of retirement for this.
