I really liked The Wandering Village, which I think is from this last year. It didnt do anything particularly wow but i lost so many hours to it, its just really fun and sweet.

I really enjoyed Secrets of the Obscure expansion for Guild Wars 2. It's been pretty fun and I'm liking some of the characters in that. Also some of the maps are really nice looking. But it felt like a fresh of breath air? Besides that, Project Zomboid was fun earlier this year with some past friends I had. but my most favorite was probably Signalis, minus the anticommunism. The anticommunism that's present in it is really frustrating. But like I wanted to try it last year but couldn't until this year, and I really enjoyed it, and the game just hits the right notes? also I've also played it in a time where im dealing with my own stuff to like grief, like my mom having passed earlier this year. so like I dunno, I just vibed a lot with that game

I effin loved sonic frontiers
