I’m a little shocked by how few of those I’ve even heard of
Among 2025 games with over 10K reviews, Deltarune is the most highly rated

Damn, have a look at each of them, there is some excellent gaming here.
fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 days ago
Absolutely, I plan to :)

I’ve heard of four of the games on the list and it’s the four you would think.

I’ve only heard about Clair Obscur because of the AI art drama.

The fact that Wolfquest, an educational game from the 2000s is on there, is absolutely mind blowing to me. I remember playing that game as a kid with my sister and it being beyond a buggy fun mess lol.

I haven’t heard of anything on the list until we get to 8, and I only recognise the name I have no idea what the gameplay is like.

honestly surprised so few people mentioned deltarune during the GOTY discussions
maybe because it’s not technically fully released yet?

Chapter one also released in 2018 (
78 years ago), so the game doesn’t really feel like it’s from this year.binarytobis@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Honestly, I hate partial releases so I haven’t played it yet, despite loving Undertale.
ClamDrinker@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Hate to say it, but you might be missing out on something you won’t ever be able to experience. It’s like with episodic releases of TV shows, half the fun is sitting with friends discussing and overthinking what just happened while you wait for the next episode. Being there too long after community wide revelations, you can’t experience that head space of mystery and surprise again. Deltarune handles the episodic releases very well honestly, I’d understand if it was a series of bad partial releases.

Warms my nub to see Nubby at nubmber 9 🥲
heatermcteets@lemmy.world 5 days ago
A surprisingly fun game. It exceeded my expectations. I have played it more than I thought I would.

wait tell me about bongo cat
BlindFrog@lemmy.world 4 days ago
It counts the keyboard taps & cursor clicks (optional) that you make, and your desktop pet cat taps whenever you type/click. As a reward for your tippity tappity productivity, you periodically get random cat costumes and skins. You can also buy/sell the costumes & reskins on the steam community marketplace.
It doesn’t work on Linux for me (mint btw), but I use it on my school laptop
I’m not sure how segregation/listening of inputs works between software in Linux, but if there’s a way around it to get bongo cat to work… 👉👈

That sounds suspiciously like the virus-riddled desktop buddies of the late 90s
Gawdl3y@pawb.social 4 days ago
X11 lets any window constantly monitor keyboard input in the background, but in Wayland, only the active foreground window can by default. I unfortunately don’t know of a trivial workaround to allow that currently.

There are some insanely random games in there

Rhythm Doctor is a good rhythm game. My only real complaint is that it’s short. I would have liked more levels that gradually increased the complexity of newly introduced mechanics. You get a short tutorial and then it’s straight into the frying pan! And some mechanics are only in a single level!
Other than that though… Loved it. Great game. I get the songs stuck in my head a lot!
somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days ago
If you need more, there’re A LOT of custom levels.
You can find them in either rhythm.cafe (better levels overall) or the Steam Workshop integration. (is more shitty).Phunter@lemmy.zip 5 days ago
Oh yeah I know that. I meant as a progression sort of thing. There’s little ramp up to new mechanics most of the time. Sometimes there’s tutorials for new mechanics on the boss levels!
But like I said, I still love the game. It’s just something I noticed.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 days ago
That makes perfect sense. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t like it would try it
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 6 days ago
This is a fine list of games to play.
dwemthy@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Haha, Wobbly Life… my kid picked it to spend Nintendo gift card money on. It’s like GTA for kids, big open city map, drive cars around, do little jobs, respawn quickly when you get thrown across the map because you got hit by a train
yermaw@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
Am I missing something about wobbly life? All the reviews are great on xbox and its mad popular. I tried it and its just so much nothing. Worse than nothing, janky controlled nothing.
yersinda@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Not expecting dream bbq! It’s not the most mechanically complex game but big ups to joelg

Clicked on steam “parallel story to Undertell”.
Cool. I’ve heard of Undertell before, I should maybe get that first to play. “Click”. “This game is already in your steam library”…
Harvey656@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Oh wow, its amazing you’ve never played it yet. Go in blind. A life changing game.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 5 days ago
I usually try to go in pretty much blind to anything I play or watch, but I watched a gaming related YouTube video that flipping ruined what I really would have wanted to not know about undertale.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 days ago
I keep expecting to find some gnarly shit like was in the previous game and I haven’t found it. IDK if it’s just not there to find, or if the shit is even more esoteric than before.

Who the hell out there is leaving a negative review on Schedule I? Are there actually Drug Dealer Sim fanboys?
SippyCup@lemmy.ml 4 days ago
5k ish negative reviews and they seem to come in two flavors, multiplayer bugs and too repetitive.
undeffeined@lemmy.ml 4 days ago
It may indeed be repetitve but Its so satisfying. Yesterday at midnight I told myself I would just sell some more Sweet Smegma and call it a night but next thing I know its 2 AM and it only felt like 10 min.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Nice. I’ve played two of these (Schedule I and Abiotic Factor).
saltesc@lemmy.world 5 days ago
WolfQuest RP servers were not what I thought they’d be. They are definitely not playing the season through cooperatively but without using the chat.

It’s amazing just how much better games have been from indie devs and smaller publishers. I don’t see a single game from EA, Ubisoft, or Activision on there.
happytortoise@lemmy.zip 5 days ago
Indie devs don’t have to deal with interference from suits who are obsessed with cost cutting and wholly out of touch with what people want
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days ago
Cost cutting and designing for the lowest common denominator. Suits are afraid to take risks, because they want to sell to the widest possible audience. So they end up playing it safe and making bland milquetoast games that all feel exactly the same.
gmtom@lemmy.world 5 days ago
In fairness even if a big studio released a great game, enough people would either try it and not like it, or just give a bad review because it’s EA, that it wouldn’t make this list.
Indie games don’t have that problem.
imecth@fedia.io 5 days ago
Steam reviews aren't really a good quality metric, a 6/10 game can have 95% ratings, it's the rotten tomatoes of video games.

Split Fiction is published by EA.
