If there was one theme to this year in games, it was the industry saying hey, let’s make our release schedule all about making Lorelai happy. I was being fed from start to finish, and it truly made it a struggle to put together a list of the best stuff this year. Yes, there were some releases that were guaranteed a high spot because they were something I’ve wanted forever, but there were so many things that came out of nowhere to leave me wondering how a game this good might not even make my top 10. The bottom 5 flipped and flopped for weeks before I was finally able to lock them in, and I decided to add a few more games before we get started with the top 10.
