All right, folks. This is it, this is the start of our countdown. We’ve got a long day of excitement ahead of us so let’s not get too worked up just yet. For the start, we're going to take things easy-breezy here at the bottom of the list as we look at hidden indie gems, standout games in niche genres and some classics from years past. So kick back, relax, put your feet up and let’s keep it chill as we start out with your #75.CharlieFoxtrot posted:The coziest game of the year. The 7th Guest posted:See that mountain in the distance? You can go there.  75. A SHORT HIKE (ADAMGRYU) 17 points, listed 4 times Ahhh, have a little stretch, yes. Slide into that countdown groove. There, doesn’t that feel nice?

At this point it behooves me to explain how ties are settled in this countdown. When two or more games score the same amount of points the placings are determined by the countback rule. Therefore whichever game was listed most at #1 takes the tiebreaker. If all games are equally tied for #1 spots this rolls back to #2 spots and so on. With that fully divulged let’s go ahead with your #74.Mizuti posted:All the content is here, it's so big and polished and thorough that it's unbelievable. Panic Restaurant posted:Everyone is here, and they loving mean it!  74. SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE (NINTENDO) 17 points, listed 2 times, #1 spot 1 time 2nd year in countdown Smash continues to go from strength to strength with another fantastic year of roster announcement including Sans and Banjo/Kazooie. Now just put in Cooking Mama and you’ll definitely be back in the top 10, Sakuraba.

This is what happens when you're only for Good Boys and Girls - you can't even crack the Top 73.

TETRIS EFFECT (RESONAIR) 19 points, listed 3 times 2nd year in countdown  BEST VR GAME It’s been a very quiet year for VR with no serious releases being in contention which allowed Tetris Effect to claim the title of best VR game for a second year in a row. As we look ahead to 2020 all eyes will be on Half-Life: Alyx to produce the killer app the platform’s been waiting for.

If I love JRPGs but tend not to go in for "everything is just cute all the time" aesthetics, should I play the Atelier games? I think I played the first Atelier Iris way back in the day but I don't have clear memories of it since I was playing just about any JRPG I could get my hands on back then.
