GIPTYTILBMABA: almost GOTY 2019

I play games as I discover them, sometimes decades after they were released (by the way now you can get Blade Runner on GOG) so as usual I’ll do Games I Played This Year That I Loved But May Actually Be Ancient).

Blade Runner — the videogame.

Usually, I do this with @demigiant but he didn’t find masterpieces this year so he is keeping silent & grumpy in his polyphemic freezing cave, where he is creating a new humongous, massive & beautiful game, e.g. see this:

My GOTYs in my sense are:

1. Do Not Feed The Monkeys by @Fictiorama
   Well, this is exactly the kind of game I am trying to make. Kudos!
2. Disco Elysium by @studioZAUM
   As @GWJRabbit points out in this GWJ episode, Disco Elysium is as traditional a game as it gets, could have been done 30 years ago and it would be more or less the same & just as cool as it is today.
   (I love games that show how much you can do with minimal use of game technology.)
3. Bird Of Passage by @SpaceBackyard
   This is my “most promising short game of the year” as it is a little masterpiece which I finished & want to play more so I do noise about it hoping to get a bigger game.
4. The “best experience of the year platinum & diamond & German Ostmark award” goes to Wer Ist Wer, the “escape room” (but in a completely renovated sense) Berlin-wall themed by @WeAreMuesli.

And that’s it, closing this and the year with Takis “anti-tech tech” from MACBA Barcelona inspiring my writing for Roller Drama :-)
