#65. Desert Golfing

I love this dumb game. It doesn't belong anywhere near a top 100 but it's just so cozy. I broke my addiction to this thing the day that Slay the Spire came out on mobile, and truth be told, I spend more time these days playing the sequel, Golf on Mars, than Desert Golfing. But the original is just such a weird timeless classic to me that it has to be my pick for this list.

#64. Tales of Maj'Eyal

I'm not well versed in capital-r Roguelikes, but my go-to is this little game, which feels like a custom NES RPG that rebuilds itself for you each time you play it. There's more to this game than I could ever want to engage with, and I often stick with just one or two classes because getting deeper in than that is basically committing yourself to playing just his one game for a year, kinda like an MMO. This game is deeper than just about anything else I play and I can only engage so much with that stuff, but it's really good.

#63. Tunic

This game is just fascinating. It's like Zelda 1 crossed with Fez and maybe a Souls game. Unraveling this game's secrets is so enthralling, something that it doesn't look like it would have if you just looked at its cute isometric visuals and Zelda-inspired combat. Instead, you're learning a whole language and learning the game's mechanics on the fly via finding pages of an instruction manual and all sorts of other crazy stuff. Unlocking how you even engage with this game is what makes it so cool.

#62. Ace Attorney Investigations 2

This might be the most complete Ace Attorney game. No other game is as cohesive as this sprawling game that takes place across 5 cases but is really one continuous story. There are great moments in this game, but it also gets overlong at times so it isn't quite on the level of the top games in the AA series. It feels like the apex of what the AA series can be though.

#61. Metroid Fusion

It's nominally a metroidvania, but feels more like a survival horror game in Metroid clothing. You're stalked in this game and the music is more about eliciting a feeling from you than letting you explore an interesting space. You're getting powerups not to get stronger, but to survive. Once you reorient yourself to those expectations, this game is great. It's not a top tier Metroid game and that is by design.
