Making a solitaire game may sound simple but guess what? It's not. There are tons of complex interactions and edge cases in our games. This is just one small function in a 3000 line Card class. And then there's the whole rest of the game...

In art, chiaroscuro is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark. This innovative and ever-present art technique served as inspiration for "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33", which was recently selected Game of the Year by the Game Awards 2025.

This is how I feel like every time I play a Soulslike. So much frustration and effort banging your head into the learning curve but it’s very fun when it sticks.
I bought Sekiro. I know Souls games are too hard for me. But I bought it anyway. I’m a button smasher. You can’t be a button smasher in Sekiro. So I’ve spent like an hour in the training temple trying to figure this shit out. Am I having fun? I don’t know. Probably not. But I’m STUBBORN.

For the strategy/city-building gamers out there:
I was skeptical of Against the Storm but it lives up to the hype. Terrific game and one I think I will be playing for a long time. Very deep.

I merged in all the incomplete entries, which I'm working on chipping away at and filling in the details of, which has bulked the list up to 324 items. But some of them are for entire series' or platforms, so probably ~400 games here.
