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!

It's either cringe or just not for me I can't tell. Very invested in South Asian Americans and queerness in a scott pilgrim esque package but idk if this will ever be something I get into.
Loves the smell of its own farts.
Shit got no rigor. Surprisingly I like the art style a lot. I think if the characters were something different than just the p5 characters this could have been a lot more interesting. Still the tactics side is perfectly ok, its engaging and communicate p5 mechanics really well.
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.
It's got the gameplay loop tm so you get what you get. Gets a bit frustrating once combat gets introduced but nothing like a nice simplistic city builder to vibe with for a few hours.
Chunks up city building into such a digestible rogue like it really suits everything I like about both genres while being easy to pick up and put down. The asthetics are cool and I'm curious if there's any real narrative here but we'll see.
