“Distant Worlds 2 is my favorite 4x space game. It is hard SF. It is vast. It is incredibly complex. It is incredibly deep. It has a steep learning curve, but it also has automation. Such a great game.”

“Citizen Sleeper is a tour de force; compelling storytelling, intriguing characters, interesting choices, and a clever dice system that moves it away from visual novel and firmly secures it as an RPG. ”

“NORCO is a rich, character-based storytelling game about post-apocalyptic existence, self-reflection, and following mystery threads of your mom's death. Captivating story, dope pixel art, smoke music.”

“Metal: Hellsinger just feels right; the music, the combat, the weapons, the speed of play, it's all fully metal. The innovation is in the creative combination of those elements to provide cohesion.”

“Neon White is an absolute banger! Not only due to the Machine Girl tracks, but because of the combination of great level design built for dual-purpose weapons, and the dope vibe. Speedrunner's dream. ”

“Terra Invicta, by the XCOM Long War team, has unfathomable depth, secret societies, political intrigue, espionage, alien contact, and it is hard SF AF to play. Massive, innovative, ambitious, awesome.”

“Zorbus is an actual Roguelike; turn-based, procedurally-generated, permadeath. It is party-based, properly challenging, has some DCSS-style quality-of-life features, and I really enjoy the game. ”

Designer Plays the Best of 2021

An ordered list of my favorite games released on Steam in 2021, best first. Not entirely comprehensive this year, for reasons discussed elsewhere, but there are some good titles here.

“Death's Door is wonderful. It's from Acid Nerve, the Titans Souls devs, and it's like a mashup between that game and Zelda; dungeon-delving, puzzles, boss fights. Highly recommended!”

“WarTales is much like a more personal Battle Brothers, as you guide a small band of mercenaries around an open-world countryside being murderhobos, looting, crafting, and trading. Great 3D world.”

$20.00

“Inscryption is much more (twisted) than it seems, which makes sense, because it's from Daniel Mullins, the Pony Island dev. My advice would be to go in blind without reading reviews. Most excellent.”

$24.99

“OPUS: Echo of Starsong really demonstrates how far visual novels have progressed; the artwork is wonderfully understated, the story is cohesive and compelling, and Eda is a Lumen-sniffing war witch.”

$24.99

“Archvale is...dare I say...Zelda meets Enter the Gungeon. With a charming world to explore, items to loot or craft, and enemy combat influenced by Bullet Hell shooters, this game is perfect for me.”

“Dominion is the progenitor of deck-building card games, one of the most popular genres on tabletop and on Steam. Easy to play, hard to master. Excellent game, good client, must-play.”

“Eastward exudes an almost Ghibliesque charm in every facet of the game; pixel art, music, and story. This post-apocalyptic vision is unique and has characters that make you care. Very, very good.”

Designer Plays Metroidvania

I have put in my fair share of what game industry types refer to as "R&D" or "Research and Development", here meaning, playing your favorite Metroidvania games for hours and hours and calling it work.

$14.99

Designer Plays Roguelikes

True Roguelikes are turn-based, grid-based, procedurally generated, permadeath, dungeon crawls. Roguelikes are also one of my favorite genres. I just wish Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup was on Steam.
