Huh, I don’t really track this, but Steam kinda does, so I’ll reconstruct it. I’ll give my ratings on a 5 star scale, with 3 being “fun but not special” and 5 being “highlight of the year.”

January:

• Golf Club Wasteland - 3 - apparently renamed to Golf Club Nostalgia; pretty cool golfing game

March:

• Ori and the Blind Forest - 4 - fun Metroidvanias

April:

• Deponia trilogy - 4 - I love point+click adventure games (nostalgia), and this was better than expected

May:

• Relicta - 3.5 - the puzzles were all quite good, except a couple at the end
• Nuts - 4.5 - very interesting gameplay
• A Juggler’s Tale - 4 - I’m a sucker for these kinds of games
• Nier: Replicant - 5 - fanatic story, got me pumped to play Automata, which I’m currently playing

July:

• Blue Fire - 4 - fun action game, with Metroidvania elements
• Yakuza Kiwami 2 - 3.5 - not as good as either Yakuza 0 or Yakuza Kiwami, but still lots of fun
• Raven’s Hike - 3 - fun platformer
• Klocki - 4 - fun, short puzzle game
• Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 3.5 - pretty fun, but a big disappointment vs other Zelda games

August:

• Perspective - 4 - really cool free tech demo, unfortunately, I don’t think the mechanics would work well as a full game
• The Bridge - 5 - really cool non-Euclidean puzzle game, very Escher-esque (M.C. Escher is my favorite artist, so I’m a bit biased here)
• Ittle Dew - 5 - really fun Zelda-like, with lots of great commentary/satire about those kinds of games

September:

• Darkside Detective - 4.5 - again, I love point and click games, and this was really funny too
• Hexlogic - 5 - great puzzle game with an innovative sudoku-esque feel
• Grand Mountain Adventure - 2.5 - fun, but getting around could be pretty tedious, and I wasn’t a fan of the top down view

October:

• Human Resource Machine - 4.5 - fantastic programming puzzle game, would be 5 if the last few puzzles didn’t completely suck to finish (so tedious)
• Return of the Obra Dinn - 5 - fantastic detective/puzzle game
• Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark - 4 - great follow-up to the first; nothing new, just more great point+click goodness
• Zelda: Skyward Sword - 5 - fantastic dungeons, decent story and side content; I bought this and Link’s Awakening instead of Tears of the Kingdom

November:

• Instant Farmer - 3.5 - good puzzle game
• Manifold Garden - 5 - innovative puzzle game
• Cats in Time - 2 - kids liked it, but it was a finicky hidden object/escape room game

December:

• Mirrorama - 3.5 - puzzles were pretty good, but the story was really odd
• Rob Riches - 3 - fun puzzle game, not too challenging (though getting minimum moves was occasionally tricky)
• Little Nightmares - 4.5 - great game, weird story, scratched several itches; I didn’t like the DLC flashlight “fighting” sequence, and some puzzles were a little obtuse

And some bonus in-progress games I hope to finish soon:

• Nier: Automata - 3.5 so far, but likely going to be 4-4.5 later, I’m still pretty early into it (just finished first major boss fight)
• Inscryption - 5 - I’m almost done, I’m in Act 3 with two known bosses left
• Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky - 3.5 - I haven’t touched it since earlier this year, but I really enjoyed it at the time, I just haven’t been motivated to dig back in; got about halfway through I think, maybe a little more
• CrossCode - 3.5 - enjoying it so far, just haven’t played for a couple weeks; will probably play a bunch over Christmas break; score will probably go up
• Bendy and the Ink Machine - 3.5 - weird horror game, I think I’m close to finishing, but I’m not sure
• Red Dead Redemption 2 - 3 - started, but didn’t get far enough for it to grip me; the original was a 5, so I expect good things
• Ys: Oath of Felghana - 3.5 - pretty fun, but I dropped it because other games seemed more fun; will probably finish soon (about 10-15 hours in)
• Hollow Knight - 4 - just started (finished first major boss, recently unlocked fast travel), so it may get a better score as I get further
