    Outer Wilds + DLC. Not just one of the best games I’ve played this year, but one of the best games I have ever played.

    Honorable mentions:

    • Cruelty Squad
    • Life is Strange: True Colors (really wish it were longer)
    • Budget Cuts 1 and 2 (VR only)

      Outer Wilds and its DLC is my absolute favorite game of all time and the best I might have ever played. Full stop. There is just so much to it that one doesn’t expect from the surface. It was an experience I still think back to every now and then.

      Currently playing Cruelty Squad and enjoying it quite, too.

      Outer wilds is definitely one of my favorites too. I went in blind which was awesome. Completely caught me off guard right after the tutorial. I didn’t expect such intricate mechanics

      LOVED Cruelty Squad

      Hate LiS Colours—loved the first game.

      Need to try budget cuts.

        Out of curiosity, why did you dislike True Colors? I really loved 1/BtS, but really disliked 2. True Colors felt like a proper spiritual successor to 1

          It was soooooooooooo cheesy. So much more than the first. The second was terrible, definitely worse than True Colors. But True Colors was just cheese after cheese.
