These are the games that actually matter right now

I just wrote the word "internet" in the deck for this article. Remember when the AP Stylebook said that it should be "Internet" with a capital "I"? You actually probably don't remember that because you're normal. Anyway, I'm glad that they changed that, and I'm glad to share the results of The Bomb 12 with you as well.

Hades II and Hollow Knight: Silksong continue to dominate. That is maybe only a little surprising because they're facing down big new hits like Silent Hill f and Ghost of Yōtei, but it's worth pointing out that Ghost only had like a day of availability during this Bomb 12 window. I bet it could be even higher for this upcoming week.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles had a strong showing at No. 5. The game slaps. I wish I had more time for it -- or maybe I just decided that I'll make more time for it.

Megabonk and Baby Steps are holding down the middle of the chart alongside a lot of familiar faces. But then we get some interesting guys down at 11 and 12 in The Annual Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival and Unfair Flips, respectively. Ghost Town is a spooky-but-chill hangout game that supports like 200 players at the same time. Unfair Flips, meanwhile, tasks the player with flipping a coin heads up five times in a row -- the catch is that the coin is weighted to tails, so you need to upgrade your flips to increase your chances. Yeah, man, I know -- don't look at me. I don't make these games (but I do like them).
