GET ME OUT OF HERE.

2023 GOTY

Games published in any year, which I have beaten in 2023, which are new to my list. The only GOTY that matters.

SPOILERS DOWN THER

I won't rank all the games, but here is a top 3:

• Phantasmagoria A Puzzle of Flesh (PC)

Absolutely incredible experience. Point & click puzzle/adventure game where you work in an office and everything is weird. I work in an office in 2023. The only way for me to cope is to imagine that I'm an alien, and I'm here to observe humanity, and I get to go home in a few years.


• Terminator 3 Redemption (Xbox)

As a person that enjoys being surprised by games, where so many Genesis games look like one game, but are secretly another, this one is blatant. Within seconds of playing it's clearly arcade game inspired. It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be short, and you're gonna get tricked. Follows the movie, and adds non-movie story bits. Could not be happier to play a Terminator game and love it.


• Batman Returns (Genesis/Mega Drive)

Rented this as a kid and didn't beat the first stage. The game is hard, and ugly. I gave it a chance now, and wow. The difficulty and learning ramp are perfect. I can't express how good it feels. This isn't an organic give and take. This is 500 puzzles. The run where I beat the game it was a 1CC. Could not be more surprised.

• Terminator, The (Easy) - Genesis

Sweet, beat The Terminator on Sega Genesis :O That was pretty fun! I think I rented this as a kid and didn't get past the first stage XD Follows the movie, some elements are more like puzzles. This is the 4th Terminator game I beat this year, and 7th overall :O So far these Terminator games are dang good.

• Terminator Skynet - PC

Sweet, beat Terminator Skynet on PC. That was a big nostalgia game. Fun FMV. Pretty good shooting. The last half of the game is shorter than the 1st stage XD

• Jones in the Fast Lane - PC

Great video board game. Could not recommend enough.

• Terminator 3 Redemption - XBOX

See above.

• Terminator Resistance - PS4

Sweet, beat Terminator Resistance on PS4. That was very good! The story was slightly by the numbers, but you really can't expect anything else from the franchise, good shooty shooty, and the final level makes you feel dang good.
