runners up

The theme of my top lists largely appears to be games that just deliver what they are supposed to deliver without any bullshit or wasting of my time. Well developed, well designed, stay within a scope reasonable of their studio and budget. Tinykin is the epitome of this and sits on the highest hill because of it. Vampire Survivor probably benefits from being late in the year, aint it always the way.
