Shoutout to the other Blazing Chrome voter. It's a really good game! It's on Game Pass and you should play it! There's a powerup in one of the levels that I still don't know how to get! I watched a video where I guy got it but I did the same thing and I didn't get it! I dunno! edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55YObYKKezs&t=477s Right here. There's the narrow crawlspace you have to roll through and on the above platform there are powerups. He dies here and respawns up there, but I tried dozens of times and the game always respawned me in the crawlspace. He's playing on easy and I was playing on Normal, but it doesn't seem like that would effect where each of us respawn upon death. I dunno!

Harrow posted: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 gave one a try but it really doesn't give me what I want from a JRPG. Very story light and focused on the crafting stuff. Also a kind of weird open structure that was interesting for a bit but I got bored of it.

I'll miss Shovel Knight getting more updates. In a perfect world where it didn't take the devs tons of time, effort, and money I'd love to see campaigns for every single Knight in the game. But I'm sure at this point they're eager to move on to a new project and I look forward to whatever they come up with next.

Wouldn’t you know it? We’re already through our first ten games. Isn’t it funny how quickly everything passes when you’re not paying attention? I guess we’d better keep things rolling along smoothly so here’s what you voted in at #65.Ferrosol posted:It is ridiculously addictive. Samuringa posted:A fast-paced, intoxicating serotonin-injector. ConfusedPig posted:Holy poo poo this game BANANAS.  65. WARFRAME (DIGITAL EXTREMES) 22 points, listed 5 times It picked up some points last year but not quite enough to rank so this is the first appearance on our countdown for one of the board’s perennial favourites.

Harrow posted: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? The dusk games especially actually have a really cool tone, since the main characters are still hopeful for the future but the world's literally dying and filled with lost ancient technology and stuff.

Endorph posted:They're pretty cutesy but they aren't exactly like, *insanely* bright and bubbly personality-wise? Some of the characters are fairly snarky and there's some cynical humor. They're still mostly upbeat of course but there's a decent balance and back-and-forth in how characters talk to each other. I like upbeat so that sounds like it'll work for me. I'll check out the Dusk ones, then--those sound very much like they're in the kind of setting I really like, if nothing else. Should I just play them in order? Edit: Oh hey good timing, looks like they're just about to release the full Dusk trilogy collection on PS4, Switch, and Steam?

As we continue I find that I’m quite enjoying this part of the countdown. Nothing’s too stressful, we’re getting to highlight games that don’t normally get their day in the sunshine, it’s all feeling rather cozy. Snuggle up by the fireplace as we check out your #62.professor metis posted:I wish I'd found these really when I was actually a teen girl. Jay Rust posted:It's relatively non-horny! cheetah7071 posted:This game is full of friends and pies. 10/10.  62. ATELIER RORONA: THE ALCHEMIST OF ARLAND (GUST) 23 points, listed 3 times It’s a two-fer for everyone’s favourite alchemist schoolgirl franchise. As the series’s reputation continues to build we can only wonder how much more it will achieve next year.

Well, well, well, this is quite the collection of games we’re putting together so far. I think there must be something new to discover for everybody here. And it only continues, friends. It’s time to check out what awaits us at #58.ErrEff posted:It's really, really fun. Kay Kessler posted:An instant game-changer. Walks posted:Adds just about a whole new games worth of content  58. MONSTER HUNTER WORLD: ICEBORNE (CAPCOM) 25 points, listed 4 times, #1 spot 1 time Oof, that has to be our first shock of the list as MHW: Iceborne follows up last year’s victory by not even breaking into the top 50! A sign that players have finally grown fatigued with the game, perhaps?

Split playerbase is one thing yeah since a huge chunk haven't gotten to play it yet. I also didn't put it on my list cause I'm mad about the postgame not being what I like about the game.
