This game made me feel like I had brain cancer

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I clicked thinking that would be the case.
Rare case where IGN doesn't disappoint. Buncha retards leaving the best RPG in years behind.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
My sympathies for the fans. They might as well just announce the win for Expedition 33 right now.

Did ARC Raiders already sell more than every game on that list?
It did. It really did.

E33 will win.
Silksong and Hades 2 are the safest runner-ups.
DKB and DS2 are there as window dressing.
Blue Prince is on there because someone at IGN wanted to remind people it existed.

I'm planning to play Blue Prince before the end of the year, have already played e33. It's a good game maybe even goty 2025, but not GOAT contender as the hype surrounding it makes it out.
If it was just this 5, Seems like a perfectly fine list.
Every title there had a 10/10 or 9/10 review score from IGN. Either higher than or on par with the 9/10 they gave KCD2.

I made the OT hype thread for all the beta rounds. I wanted to like this game.
It just gives me a headache to play and the controls just feel so counterintuitive to play

Blue Prince is a terrible game. Puzzles should be deterministic, I hate RNG driven puzzles. "Rogue" like/lite simply doesn't work for puzzles.
One of my quickest refunds.
This game is good for game journalists who didn't have anything hardcore in college so now can cope and pat themselves that they solved an irritating puzzle game.
If you want a good puzzle game check Elechead, Öoo or an extremely hardcore one called Recursed or a really cool one called Opus Magnum. Or just get a good chess puzzle book or practice tactics online.
A good puzzler has only logical solutions. Guesswork and trial are terrible. It doesn't work in mathematics.

The nicest person on this forum
There is actual roguelike element in puzzle game? WTF indie devs obsession with that gameplay style? Do they really need shove roguelike to every game?
This my biggest reason why I'm not fan of most indie games.

The Road Trip mode is fun and helps put some of the insanity into perspective.

I agree.
Most indie games nowadays. Everything is RNG/roguelite/like now, play again and again and again, it's padding, it's boring to do it again and again.
Very rarely you have games that are roguelikes but actually good, eg. Hades (VA & Story), Nuclear Throne (old school score chaser disguised as a roguelike), Dead Cells (meaty, fast combat), VS/Megabonk (secrets and achievement hunting and just fun), Gunfire reborn (great shooting & broken builds) or Deadlink (incredibly satisfying combat and movement), Balatro (teaches you Poker and evolves it naturally), Amnesia The Bunker (near perfect blend of horror, action and RNG for subsequent runs), etc

So it's not really the repetition that's inherently a problem, but whether you are enjoying what you are repeating.
I think the RNG aspect of Blue Prince is severely overblown, but it does depend on the mindset the player is bringing to the game.
I wouldn't describe the roguelike nature to be padding in this case. These systems don't exist to slow access to the 'real' part of the game; they are themselves a real part of the game. The experience of playing the game evolves significantly as your mastery over those systems evolves, both in the sense of your own understanding of the systems and in the sense that the protagonist's tools and the world state evolve over time.
