One of the best cRPGs from the 90s despite the awful UI. Die a horrible death before figuring out the gambling tactic.

My current time black hole, commanding large armies into battle is fun and it recently got a dlc as well, what more can you ask for?
You got your Factorio chocolate mixed with my Stardew Valley peanut butter!
A puzzle game that’s a little like picross, a little like minesweeper, very easy to pick up and easy to get lost in the sauce of it
For those who love art, indie games, and cute puzzle rpgs. This game that reminded me why I love being an artist again, and made me friends along the way. Enjoy the art, embrace the struggle, face the challenges ahead, and return the color to your life. If you win, please do all of the in-game art classes and share your work with me! I’d love to see what you make. <3
Like the first game, but now story feels like it was written under influence, doesn’t quite hit home for me. It also got RPG parts now, for better and worse, but generally close enough to the original. The characters are fun, the music is phenomenal, the combat is good, and the story is written.
in a franchise known for its stories, this game oddly might be their best in terms of gameplay. In classic final fantasy games, odd numbered titles often allowed gamplay to dictated design over story, they were afterall trying to compete with dragon quest. FFV could be said to be when they tried to beat dragon quest at their own game, A genuinely fun game to play if you like rpgs
Pathologic 2 for people who hate themselves more
A cozy mountain climbing game
Ghostrunner for people who played Ghostrunner
A Space for the people who are Unbound (bit aside this one’s peak apparently)
Outer Wilds for people who got hyper fixated on Deep Sea once
Chiblee, chiblee, they’re calling it the greatest game of all time chiblee. It’s barely even a game chiblee, you roll the dice 1 through 12. It’s the most political game to do politics chiblee, this game has all the best politics in it. I hope you enjoy my game chiblee, this game is for incredibly high net worth individuals chiblee. Merry Christmas, Chiblee.
shmups game that does unique stuff with its narrative. I can’t stop thinking about the ending
Spiderman for people who really want feel
Persona 5 if it had good combat
Great Vegetables
A foundational experience for Yakuza fans. Please feed the cat.
Undertale if it was guitar hero and addicted to psychadelics
Charming Rougelike about ship repair. Try to make a living under the thumb of a giant corporation (and in the game too!), maybe find a way out along the way.
The one where Kiryu gets Big Naturals. List of countries where it works can be found here https://steamdb.info/sub/938721/
the best turn based gameplay in gaming
A game with heart, charm, and an elaborate, intricately constructed space physics sandbox that earns it a place as one of the greatest puzzle games in the medium. A JADS favourite. Works in most regions, check if it works in yours here https://steamdb.info/sub/648677/
the second best writing in gaming (yes including vns)
Donated by the Developers.
It took the Silksong's hardest combat situations and turned them to 11. Only 2.5% reached the ending.
Grappling hook platformer with one of my favorite stories in gaming. Heavily inspired by Katana zero except that this one is finished and it has a (already launched) (still free) story dlc.
My GOTY 2025. A rhythm game with only 1 button, accessible to those who think they aren’t good at these. Great narrative, awesome soundtrack, and very unique gameplay stuff that i haven’t seen other games utilize that well, in the medium as a whole.
According to Mouse- has Hamilton the Musical vibes. Still don’t know if that’s true
Game for people who love Movies and Jacob Geller
Truly amazing writing. This game resonated with me as a child to Cantonese speaking immigrants. Very thankful to Joe and this community for introducing this game to me
Disco Elysium for people who read Books
A charming set of RPGish stories. NOT an Octopath-like experience.
The least cozy cozy game of the year, starring tea and existentialism.
Princess maker game. Did you like when northenlion played umamusume and the gameplay seemed fun? Would you like to play it without the gacha trash? Then this game is for you. Actual fun systems with big replayability qols. The translation is very funny.
The hit game streamed by the very famous Joe! A game about generational trauma enacted through a post apocalyptic dystopian world. Hekki All Mo!
The game most people ACTUALLY want Joe to play! Find out how hard your life can get in this wonderfully written torture device.
Odds are you’ll find at least one character hot. Oh and there’s gameplay too. Good gameplay.
My personal GOTY and THE best racing game I have ever played. I could get into all the technical details of why I love it so much, but the long and short of it is that the game is just fun and feels great to play. Features extensive mod support on PC, an OST overflowing with bangers, and all of your favorite characters from Sonic 06, the hit new stream game (probably) coming in 2026!
If expedition 33 can be on here then this one too. My second favorite game of this year. A heavy decision making narrative in a survivor management game where you have to not die on a planet by cloning yourself from different timelines of your life. Maybe in one of these you wont be a weeb. List of regions it wont work at https://steamdb.info/sub/1337174/
Tony hawk went to hell and now has to skate on a trippy adventure. My favorite soundtrack of this year.
Ace Attorney but this time the himbos are European
Now with yet another promise of a DLC
Nintendo Directs will never be the same again
Donated by the Developers.
Rue Valley is a narrative adventure about a man trapped in a time loop, surrounded by a colorful cast with complex emotional stories, each hiding unexpected secrets. Dealing with mental challenges, the main character must delve into the anomaly to uncover its enigmatic origins.
It’s kind of like if a persona game was good, but the fanbase is just as insufferable. For those who JOMS after jphJom
Mouse’s GOTY
The game where you become a lawyer and show your badge to everyone!
The real indie goty jphSmile
GOTY 2024 (joe approved too), the best 2D combat with an actual great story and the best 2D boss ever made. For other people, parryslop.
New Hot Anime Rhythm Game.Lock In.
Metaphor if it was good, like an Allergy or smth. Works pretty much everywhere, only 6 countries missing https://steamdb.info/sub/716422/
