Utawarerumono: Mask Of Truth

1. Utawarerumono: Mask Of Truth

quite something. if I had it to do over again I would've waited for the remake of 1, but like as not they won't bring over the vita version of a vita game.

Horizon Zero Dawn

2. Horizon Zero Dawn

good world, built. unintentional feedback loops are my favorite narrative element.

Utawarerumono: Mask Of Deception

3. Utawarerumono: Mask Of Deception

been forever since anime+light/intermittent lewd. wish it ended more positive. tactics only moderately faceroll. unit speed governing turn frequency is v. important.

Nioh

4. Nioh

a great one of those. way of the nioh was a large disappoint, but way of the wise suprise unlock never forget.

Persona 5

5. Persona 5

cool game.

A Hat in Time

6. A Hat in Time

great feel.

Mages of Mystralia

7. Mages of Mystralia

never not a sucker for third person action with a significant emphasis on magic.

The Caligula Effect

8. The Caligula Effect

extremely reminiscent of hollow fragment while also being a very different game.

NieR:Automata

9. NieR:Automata

this is not drakengard and it's not 2014, but fun.

AVICII Invector

10. AVICII Invector

rhythm game out of nowhere. fun when doing well but not sure I'll ever get to that point without memorization.
