Howdy Ho, Gamers, and a Merry Christmas if you were celebrating yesterday – otherwise, I just hope you had a great day!
You may recall that last year I took a look at my Top 100! Well, I decided to do that yet again this year, for the funz, and wow, was I surprised! I knew a played a lot of games in the last year, many which I loved, and I knew that I grew fonder of the roll-and-write genre as well, which pushed some of those forward a bit, edging some other games out. But I was definitely surprised at just how much my list changed, and how many new things made the list! New games below are noted with a (N) while games that appeared on last year’s list have (#) next to them, with whatever number they came in at last time.
So check out my list, and let me know what’s on your Top 100 (or even Top 50, or just Top 10! I just want to talk about games, okay?) And as always, happy gaming 🙂
