Question about the compilation rule - how will you handle Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, a compilation consisting of two games releases in the West for the first time this year as part of that compilation? Will votes for the individual games included be allowed?

Oh, cool

  1. Omori


Not been playing many games this year, and the ones I've tried have been kind of... eh. DDLC Plus could be on here if that counts, but I didn't like the metaverse stuff it added

Haven't gotten around to Pokemon Snap yet otherwise that would probably have a spot.

I only could think of 4.

  1. Blue Reflection: Second Light
  2. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
  3. NEO: The World Ends with You
  4. Persona 5 Strikers


I expect I'll start Ys 9 right before the year ends, but I'm holding off until then because I was hoping for it as a gift.

Also if Deltarune ch2 counts it can be #5.

Gah, how do I rank these? They were all good in different ways. I got the most out of Ender Lilies. It Takes Two was the highest production and it shows, but my play partner wasn't available much. Wildermyth was wonderfully fantastic (as in fantasy-like). And Death's Door was just solid in every regard.

  1. It Takes Two
  2. Wildermyth
  3. Ender Lilies
  4. Death's Door
  5. Dorfromantik
