In case anyone is wondering, many of the games in the intro are ones that would have made my 11-20 list 😄
Nice rundown.
Love your list and reasoning for strong Indie games out there. Glad to see that Potion Craft is coming to Switch as I've been interested in this game for a long time!
Great top 10 list! I watched a playthrough of Citizen Sleeper and was surprised at how gripping the story was. Of course I know I'll like Shadows over Loathing. I have a tremendous backlog and find it difficult to get through games having huge JRPGs to slog though, books to read, new piano scores to study and play, hours at the gym…I'm sure this is most people's lives. However that doesn't stop me from perpetually seeking out new (hopefully shorter) games! Channels like yours helps to wade through the thousands of games to find the good ones! Thanks again!
Yayyy, Potionomics! That's the series that brought me to your channel. I've got to go back and check out some more of the earlier playthroughs on your list, but I'm gradually making my way through them. Thanks for the handy list of the best ones!
A super refreshing "games of year" list! Discovered a few great indie games thanks to your channel. Any games you're excited about playing in 2023? (Whether new this upcoming year or just in your backlog?)
My favourites to watch on your channel last year were Dredge and The Excavation of Hobb's Barrow. Both great atmospheric games. Looking forward to more great content this year.
I started playing Roadwarden because of your playthrough – such a great game; it definitely has the choose your own adventure vibe (though I grew up in the 90s not the 80s). And the end of Cats & the Other Lives broke me (think uncontrollable sobbing) but was nonetheless a fantastic story. Love your take on these games from 2022 and looking forward to what 2023 has to offer. 🙂
seeing your favourite games this year i'm compelled to make a suggestion for something for 2023. You may have played them already but the Sorcery! series by Peter Jackson I feel would suit your storytelling style, a sense of adventure as well as some opportunity for choice voices and humour.
