2023 First Time Plays Ranked
Alright. Thats it. Roll credits. Interesting year in life for me rebuilding myself into an adult man. Not so interesting in games. Katamari was the highlight fr fr. Started getting into some crpgs, game passed on a whim, more indie games which were often mid, and game passed around.
Heres about three sentences about every game i played for the first time this year. There are some games floating around that I started or continued this year that I didn't feel confident in writing on yet so those will show up in a future list. Have a good year folks!

Horny vita dRPG? Horny vita dRPG. Focuses on being accessible by taking out any potentionally interesting game mechanics and replacing it with loot.
This should never have been a roguelike. I give lots of passes to proc gen stuff but as soon as I died fir the first time I felt a brief moment of that vitriolic hate some hold towards roguelikes. Never again.
What if we made chess but stupid is a concept I fuck with. There's a whole meta strategy on how not to lose in like 3 turns that comes down to the type chart, but there's not really much depth. Just make your queen offensive enough to destroy a bunch of stuff, it's fun.
Its catan on discord, a solidly made game about gaming probabilities but id rather just bet on horses tbh
A game I was looking forward to a lot after playing the demo. Currently it needs a lot of tinkering (it's in early access), but I am disappointed by the single player adventure mode. While it sometimes shines with the challenges it really feels like there's a sequential order to the deck archetypes you unlock and there's no need for experimentation outside of the precons. It's a small team so let's see what this game looks like a year from now.
I'll put this back to back with SAP. Autobattles are so interesting to puzzle through and doing a single player one seemed like a perfect for me, someone who does not want to study league enough to competently play an autobattler. Still no matter what combos I create there's no direct feeling to any of it, I beat three runs in a row and I can't describe you how any were different from one another. I find myself coming back to this only to end up unsatisfied.
