The Outer Worlds
A 2019 space exploration game that’s super story heavy with some elements of mystery, and if you’re thinking of a certain other Outer game, you’d be thinking wrong. This one has guns! It’s one of the Obsidian RPGs, and I’m honestly surprised at how engaged I’ve been with this, since I’m not usually the kind…

Taiji
Ever since I finished The Witness for the first time back in 2017, I’ve been looking for a puzzle game that follows that same formula, and this year I found it with Taiji. Instead of being a first person puzzle game about completing puzzle panels where you fill in the edges, this is a top-down…
