My game of the year #BluePrince. I will freely admit that I did not discover every secret that Mount Holly has to offer, but genuinely one of the most special puzzle games I've ever played. Such a unique thing that was both fun and frustrating to try and pull apart trying to pull on just one more thread, one more hint, one more room.
Mechwarrior 5 Clans is such a game I wasn't expecting to like as much as I did given how down I was on Mercenaries. The move to a linear campaign and changes to the Mechlab because you have omnimechs really do a ton to fix so much of what brought that previous game down for me.
Finished writing my 2025 goty post before the end of the year! Go me! https://lim-ak.bearblog.dev/game-of-the-year-2025/ A ton of great video games released this year. I'll do some more posts here tomorrow from the list, but here's a couple shout outs for now.
Didn't quite get my #procjam idea done in time (I know it's a soft time limit but wanted to upload it) but it's still a nice functional map generator in it's current state. https://lim-ak.itch.io/arctic-generator
Finished playing the Rose and Violet story mod for Persona 5 Royal that has you play as Kasumi taking over the Joker role. It is as ambitious and messy as that undertaking sounds. Has a ton of rough edges but what an absolutely charming thing.

Made a game for #gmtkjam

Loop Runner. Run around the loop and last as long as you can, but be sure to avoid running into your past self.

Wasn't expecting to hit credits on #BluePrince yesterday, just went on a hell of a run that had me solving a bunch of big puzzles on my list but plenty more left for me to go find
And my actual game of the year #1000xRESIST. Just a wonderful sci-fi story that hits really hard as someone who grew up in Hong Kong a long time ago now. It's not just about HK but it's politics is ever present throughout it just means so much to see here. Memory is such a big part of game, it wants you to remember 2019, it wants you to remember the pandemic and it's all the more brilliant for it.
Finally got around to writing my 2024 GOTY list. https://lim-ak.bearblog.dev/game-of-the-year-2024/ A lot of good video games released in 2024. But I want to shout out 3 of them. Fallout London didn't make my list but is just a remarkable achievment for a mod, it's massive, messy and uneven, but it's also ambitious and brilliant and probably the best Fallout I've played in ages. Tactial Breach Wizards is just a really funny, smart take on XCOM, not a super long game as far as tactics games go but brilliant throughout.
Game of the Year 2024

A little late with this post, but 2024 was another year filled with good games to play. Less so for those in and around the game industry but that seems to...

Hit credits on #satisfactory. It's well good. Probably should've laid out my factory better, instead I just built a continually increasing and complicated sprawl.
